Overview

SketchToImage (by Riverborn, formerly known as Scribble to Art) transforms hand-drawn or digital sketches into finished artwork using AI: paint directly on the canvas or upload an existing sketch, add a text prompt, select from 14-plus artistic styles (hyper-realistic, anime, pixel art, cyberpunk, and more), and generate the finished image with a single click.

Starting from a rough sketch rather than only a text prompt is the meaningful difference from a typical text-to-image generator – sketching out composition and layout first, then letting AI handle rendering and style, gives more control over the actual final composition than describing it in words alone and hoping the AI interprets your intent correctly. Image-to-video animation and 8x upscaling extend the same core generation pipeline into adjacent needs (turning a finished image into a short animated clip, or getting a higher-resolution version for print) without switching tools.

SketchToImage supports specialized use cases including architectural design, interior design, 3D texturing, and kids’ art. The company reports 23,908 users and 33,594 artworks generated, with a 4.9-star Product Hunt rating. Pricing is credit-based with monthly subscription options via Stripe; specific rates require visiting the pricing page.
