SketchLife turns your camera into a live art studio. Using on-device person segmentation, SketchLife automatically separates you from your background and applies sketch effects to each layer independently. Your portrait can look like a pencil drawing while the world behind you turns into bold ink lines — or any combination you choose, all in real time. It's simple to use. 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. Note: Frame rate (FPS) depends on your device's performance.
