Point your camera, pick a style for the foreground and a style for the background, and watch your scene transform instantly. Record video with sound and save it straight to your photo library. Features - Automatically separate the subject and background, and style each one independently - A range of hand-drawn looks: pencil, ink, outline, and more - Real-time preview, processed entirely on your device - Record video with audio and save to Photos - Fast, smooth, and private — nothing leaves your device Whether you're making creative selfies, stylish clips for social media, or just having fun, SketchLife gives every shot a hand-drawn life of its own.
