- 03
Generate the render

What it's for
What Sketch to Render is for
Product and industrial design
Product designers can turn ideation sketches into photorealistic studio shots to share with stakeholders before committing to prototypes.
Character and concept artists
Game and animation artists can explore character designs by rendering multiple costume or style variations from a single pose sketch.
Illustrators and graphic designers
Illustrators can use their rough thumbnails as a starting point and let the AI handle rendering heavy lifting, freeing time for creative direction.
Students and hobbyists

FAQ
Common questions
Does my sketch need to be clean or detailed?+
No. The AI works with rough sketches too. Cleaner line art gives more predictable results, but loose gesture drawings also produce interesting renders.
Can I control the level of realism in the output?+
Yes. Prompt phrases like 'photorealistic', 'watercolor', 'cel-shaded', or 'technical illustration' steer the rendering style effectively.
What file formats are accepted for the sketch upload?+
JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Black-and-white line art on a white background typically gives the clearest results.
Will the AI change my composition?+
The flux-kontext-pro model is specifically trained to respect input structure, so your layout and proportions are preserved while rendering adds detail.
Can architects use this for client presentations?+
Yes. Many architects use sketch-to-render tools in early design phases to communicate concepts before 3D modeling begins.
