Photo to Paint by Numbers: How Our AI Turns Pixels Into a Numbered Canvas

Photo to Paint by Numbers: How Our AI Turns Pixels Into a Numbered Canvas

From a phone snap to a numbered linen canvas: here's what happens in between.

Step 1: Colour Segmentation

The AI groups millions of pixels into a paintable palette — usually 24 to 36 colours. Too few colours and the result looks flat; too many and it becomes overwhelming.

Step 2: Outline Generation

Edges are smoothed and tiny shapes merged so brushes can actually reach them. This is where cheap generators fail.

Step 3: Quality Check

A human reviews every kit before printing. That's the difference between a kit you finish and one you abandon.
