What is SoftOrbits Photo to Sketch Converter?
SoftOrbits Photo to Sketch Converter is offered by its publisher as Sketch Drawer, a Windows desktop application for turning photographs into drawing-style images. It suits making a pencil portrait, a colored sketch or a set of illustrations from an existing photo folder. The desktop program is separate from the online converter advertised on the same publisher site.
Add photos, choose a drawing preset and adjust the strokes before running the conversion. The publisher lists more than 30 presets, controls for stroke length, width and density, and batch processing for whole folders. Its desktop guide lists JPG, PNG, TIFF and RAW input and describes local, offline photo processing.
The Windows download is a free trial, not an unrestricted free edition. The publisher says trial exports carry a watermark and that a license removes it. Use photographs you own or have permission to adapt. The linked EXE is a publisher-hosted download; it has not been installed or run for this entry.
What it offers
- Choose from more than 30 drawing presets, including pencil, pen and colored sketch styles.
- Adjust stroke length, width, hardness, density and curvature, plus contour and hatching colors.
- Convert a folder of photos in a batch instead of processing every image separately.
- Open JPG, PNG, TIFF and RAW images in the Windows desktop program.
- Process photos locally and offline, according to the publisher's desktop guide.
Good to know
- Trial exports include a watermark; the publisher says a license is required to remove it.
- The Windows desktop program and the publisher's online converter are separate products; this download is for Windows.
