What does the Low Poly effect change?

Low Poly simplifies the source into a distinct illustration language, organizing outlines, color regions, and shading so the result reads as designed artwork. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Low Poly?

Choose Low Poly for custom portraits and gifts, editorial illustrations, or story-driven social content when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains low-resolution faces, illegible source text, or photographs whose key identity depends on tiny texture that the chosen medium simplifies.

About the Low Poly effect

Low Poly translates source structure into medium-specific marks, surfaces, and color separations rather than applying a stock texture alone. Its intensity control blends the processed output with the uploaded pixels, so the edit can remain restrained or become the dominant look.
