## What is Ocre?

Give your photos the color and character of a painting.

Ocre lets you explore artwork-inspired colors, painterly effects, playful textures, and simple frames in one focused editor. Pick a photo, choose a look, adjust its strength, and save or share the result.

MAKE A LOOK YOUR OWN
• Explore color palettes inspired by individual paintings.
• Try painterly brushwork on Water Lilies or preview on-device neural styles.
• Create dot prints, playful puzzles, and subtle brick textures.
• Add a minimal, oak, or walnut frame without cropping your photo.
• Hold the preview to compare your edit with the original.

Your selected photo is processed on your device. Ocre does not upload it to the developer's servers. Exports are rendered again from the original photo; neural style detail is limited by the model's fixed output resolution.

Basic color looks, Water Lilies brushwork, and the frameless option are free. Preview any look before export. A one-time Pro purchase unlocks neural styles, playful modes, and additional frames for export.
