Upload a rough sketch, a photo of paper, or even a colored drawing. This tool extracts a clean inked line layer you can color, print, or take into a comic page.
How it works
- Upload a PNG or JPG of a sketch, photo, or colored illustration.
- Optionally add a short note (thicker lines, drop the background, keep clothing folds).
- Generate. Logged-in users get a daily free quota; extra runs use credits.
Tips for better results
- Flatten the page and shoot under even light; crumpled paper and heavy shadows confuse contours.
- High-contrast pencil or ink scans extract more cleanly than faint gray sketches.
- If you only want the character, say “remove the background” in the notes.
Why creators use it
Cleaning pencil into ink used to be a whole sitting. This page is a free AI sketch-cleanup / line-art extractor you can reuse every day, then color the result with the line-art coloring tool or drop it into Tab Story.
FAQ
Is this AI sketch cleanup tool free?
Yes. Each signed-in Tab Story account gets a daily free quota. After that, each run costs credits that you can configure in operations.
What can I upload?
Pencil sketches, inked drawings, photos of paper, and colored illustrations all work. The model is prompted to keep pose and design and output black lines on white.
Will it change my character?
The prompt tells the model to preserve pose, proportions, and clothing, and not to add objects. Very rough sketches may still be interpreted.
