There are a lot of photo filter apps but the new app Prisma takes photo art to the next level. Turn simple pictures or drawings into realistic modern paintings in seconds and share them on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites for impressive eye-catching posts.
The app is easy to use. Take a picture with the app or select a photo from you library. Choose from 30 different contemporary unique effects – such as Urban, Mononoke, Illegal Beauty, The Scream, etc. These effects go far beyond typical filters like gray scale, festive, retro and are actually based on famous artists and patterns. You can alter the intensity of the filter to make the perfect piece of art.
In addition to converting pictures you can convert drawings into amazing photo paintings. Try taking a sketch or incomplete drawing and apply any of the filters. You get dozens of beautiful variations of the artwork in minutes.

Sharing, Saving & Printing
You can save your modified images to your camera roll or share them directly from the app to Facebook or Instagram. Unfortunately, if you want to print your photo to hang in your home or office, you may be out of luck. The app saves the image to a small file size (under 1MB) therefore it does not allow you to print a hi-quality photo or poster. In addition the images have an annoying Prisma watermark in the bottom right corner. The app is free and currently there is no option for purchasing a pro version for non watermark or high-resolution photos.
Important – Photo Rights
