There are many applications in the market that turn your normal-looking photo into something else. But if you want to turn it into a masterpiece, then there are only handful of them and Painnt is one of them. The application has over 130+ filters in different genres including classical, modern, abstract, mosaics, comic book, sketch and more. One can select a filter from the above-mentioned genre and select the photo on which you want to apply.
Once you select the image, it will then show some basic editing options including setting up the brightness, contrast etc. and different detailing options which include noise reduction, sharpness, smooth etc. But mind you, every time you select a filter, it first gets downloaded and you can use only after that. Each filter is about 1MB of file size, but it is worth as the output is simply amazing. We particularly liked the fact that it renders photos into realistic paintings. Though the app is free to download, it comes with some in-app purchases through which you can hide watermark, unlock the entire library and enable high Resolution saves.
