SketchMe.App is a focused web tool for one job: producing an illustrated profile picture from your own photos. The workflow is deliberately short. You upload up to five selfies - photos where your face is the main subject work best - then choose an illustration style and a theme colour, and press generate. The service returns sketches into a gallery, delivered a few at a time over the course of a few minutes.
The style library spans looks such as pencil sketch, flat design, 3D animation in the vein of big-studio animated films, retro pixel art, caricature and a post-impressionist painting style. Because each render is generated from your own images, the results are unique rather than a stock avatar, which is the main appeal for people who want a recognisable but non-photographic presence on social platforms.
Pricing is credit based rather than a subscription. Packages are one-time payments that add credits to your account: a small package, a basic package and a pro package, each unlocking more styles and colours and removing the SketchMe.App watermark from generated images. Credits can be topped up at any time, and the company notes that illustrations are available for commercial use. SketchMe.App is run by Gibberish Lab Ltd., based in Tokyo, Japan.
