What is XnSketch?
XnSketch applies drawing-style effects to existing photographs. Choose a preset such as pencil sketch, pastel or black-and-white strokes, preview the transformed image, and refine the result with brightness, contrast and saturation controls. Edge-strength and opacity adjustments provide additional control over the effect. It suits making a stylized version of a photo rather than drawing the picture by hand.
The linked file is the Windows x64 ZIP hosted on the publisher's download server. A separate Windows ZIP is listed for the other Windows package; do not choose the x64 archive for a 32-bit system. Detailed Windows-version requirements have not been confirmed from the currently unavailable publisher product page.
The screenshot is an older Linux desktop reference published by LinuxMaster Club. It shows XnSketch's effect strip, photo preview and adjustment controls, not a capture of the selected Windows package; window styling and controls can differ on Windows.
What it offers
- Apply drawing-style presets including pencil sketch, pastel, colored sketch and black or white strokes.
- Preview an effect and adjust brightness, contrast and saturation.
- Refine the effect with edge-strength and opacity adjustments.
- Save the transformed photo for use outside the application.
Good to know
- The linked ZIP is Windows x64 only; a 32-bit system needs the separate Windows package.
- The included screenshot is an older Linux desktop reference, not proof of the current Windows interface or compatibility.
