Painnt
What Painnt is
Painnt is a freemium photo-editing app that turns photos into paintings and cartoons with more than 1,000 filters. Its styles include classical, comic book, modern, abstract, and mosaic effects. Users can preview results, adjust settings, and render artwork in high resolution. Painnt runs on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, with mobile apps for iOS and Android. It works locally on the device, so photos are not sent away from it. Users can create custom filters from an image, painting, or photograph, share custom styles with community members, and save or share finished paintings by email or social networks. The free version limits output resolution, adds a watermark, and includes ads. Paid access unlocks the full library, HD processing, custom-style filters, and watermark removal. Listed plans include iOS Premium at $0.99 a month, Mac Premium at $3.99 a month, monthly Premium at $1.99 a month, and yearly Premium at $9.99 a year. Mac Premium also includes video filters.
