    Generate your overlay

    Our AI will process your request and seamlessly apply the described texture to your uploaded image.

  4. 4

    Download your image

Give your images a unique feel by adding custom textures. Our AI tool lets you apply an artistic layer to any photo, transforming its mood and appearance in seconds. Whether you're aiming for a vintage vibe with a paper texture overlay, a gritty feel with grunge details, or a soft, elegant touch with fabric patterns, you can do it all. Simply upload your picture and describe the effect you envision. Our AI will generate a high-resolution image with the specified texture seamlessly blended in.

Your creative possibilities are wide open. Instead of searching through libraries for the perfect texture, just describe it. Want a 'cracked paint on wood' effect, 'subtle dust and scratches for a film look,' or a 'delicate light leak'? Be as specific as you want with colors, patterns, and intensity. From heavy grunge to soft fabric, our AI interprets your text prompt to create a bespoke texture overlay that perfectly matches the atmosphere you want to create for your photograph or design project.
