## What is Pencil Sketch HD?

This is the HD version of our Pencil Sketch app. 

This app will keep your original photo's resolution and produce stunning sketch results. All the sketch and cartoon effects are available offline, so you don't need network connection in order to use this app.

You can pick a picture from your album or capture one from your camera to generate the sketch. Both black-white and colorful sketch results can be easily created by JUST one button click. Saving images can be done quickly by a single touch of a button. Sharing pics are also supported. 

There are several styles included in the app: "Pencil", "Sketch", "Doodle" and "Comic". "Sketch" style creates accurate results with smooth edges and curves, which is very good for human portrait photos. "Doodle" style is suitable for objects and nature views, since it presents stronger edges and curves. "Pencil" style creates cartoon-style pictures which looks like a drawing made by hand. 

Photo Editor is also built-in within this app, which includes many useful and quick manipulations of your photos, such as filters, saturation adjustment, etc.

You can also draw your own doodle pictures by selecting a canvas. Colours, pencil styles and erasers are all available in the drawing board. The drawing you created can be saved to your photo album as well.

Everything is awesome except you can't save the Image I paid for this app a few years ago and still to this day even after updates cannot save my work

### 1/5 — Pésima app

*2023-07-22*

Pésima app no hace lo que promociona

### 1/5 — HD Version lohnt sich nicht

*2023-02-05*

5,99€ für die Hd Version ausgegeben und ich sehe keinen unterschied zur kostenlosen Version, enttäuschend

### 1/5 — Insatisfeito

*2023-01-18*

Comprei o app pra ter a versao HD só que não mudou nada da versão gratuita, wi$ jogado no lixo, eu qro reembolso

### 2/5 — Errror

*2023-01-14*

La version HD en ios no deja invertir la imagen y en la versión normal si deja tanto vertical como horizontal

### 1/5 — 保存先どこよ

*2022-11-27*

保存ボタンを押したときに保存されるフォルダがどこにも見当たらない。
普通にギャラリーと同じフォルダに保存してくれればいいだけなのに、わざわざ別フォルダに保存してその場所を教えないとか意味わからない。
無料版の方はギャラリーのフォルダに保存してくれるので、無料版じゃないと加工した画像を利用できない。

### 3/5 — Not as advertised

*2022-10-08*

App is ok but really no different than the free version I paid the 5 bucks because as the developer says in the first line of the description “This app will keep your original photos resolution”. . .it absolutes does not do this. Don’t get me wrong I love the app but the free version is the same exact thing, save your 5 dollars and stick with the free version.
