One part handmade, the rest still real

Every pair below was made with the same studio you can use: one photo, one chosen part, one medium. Nothing was retouched afterwards, and you can open the guide for each medium to see what it is, which photos suit it and how to get a good result.

Embroidery · Origami · Needle felt · Pixel art · Linocut · Clay · Voxel · Low poly · Cel animation · Halftone comic · Watercolor · Impasto · Layered paper · Soft 3D · Stained glass

How these examples were made

We do not publish anyone’s photos: pictures uploaded to hueflo stay private to the account that uploaded them. So the source photos here were generated from text descriptions, written to look like ordinary phone pictures of pets and people, and then edited through the normal hueflo pipeline with the same recipes, review and price as any customer edit.

Each result was checked against its original by eye. Pairs where the medium leaked outside the chosen part, or where the subject stopped looking like itself, were thrown away rather than retouched. Those failures shaped the advice in the guides: watercolor and impasto, for example, are shown as backgrounds because painting the pet itself spread paint into the scene, and an ink wash medium was removed from the product after twelve test edits in a row spread wash outside their target.

Embroidery

The part you pick is rebuilt from raised thread: dense satin-stitch color fields and stitched contours that follow the original shapes. Embroidery guide
