Frequently asked questions

Does it need a clean sketch?

Clear outlines work best — it detects edges and fills colour/atmosphere from your prompt.

Is it free to use?

Yes — AI Sketch-to-Image is completely free. No account, no watermark, no credits, and no usage limits.

Do my files or prompts ever leave my device?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly/WebGPU — there is no server that receives your files, prompts, or results.

Which browser and hardware do I need?

A modern browser. Chrome and Edge get WebGPU acceleration for the fastest results; Firefox and Safari run via WebAssembly. This tool downloads nothing and runs on any device.
