If you want to transform your photos into paintings, don't miss out on what we tell you next

Prism

Surely, the best-known application in the entire Android Play Store. Relatively recently, it also became a kind of Instagram, adding a social profile to the app. You could upload your photos created with Prisma and follow those of other users around the world. Its procedure is very simple:

The application has a built-in camera. As soon as you open it, you can take a photo or a selfie to later apply the artistic filter.The large number of filters is one of the main assets that this application has. It is very fun to let go and try all the filters is the photo that we have taken. Once the filter has been applied, which we can regulate in intensity, we will proceed to share the photo. You can add it to your wall in Prisma or to other apps like Instagram. Also, you can simply save it to the gallery. One of the main drawbacks of this app is that it can take a while to apply the filter. So, you know, be patient.

Download the Prisma app from the Google store.

Portra

Although it hasn't been updated since August of this year, Portra has pleasantly surprised us. Its results are instantaneous and create a sensation of looking at a very realistic painting In addition, it is a completely free application and it has 19 filters that, hopefully, will be updated with time.

Let's see in a video how the Portra application works.

As soon as you open it, the selfie camera will appear. At that time, you can take a portrait by yourself or with friends. If you prefer, you can take a normal photo with the main camera and then add the filter to it. Not all of them appear downloaded, so you will have to do it manually one by one By applying the filter, we can adjust the size of the photo we want to see (at first we only see the effect in the center of the snapshot) or the intensity of it. Later, we can share the photo on our social networks or simply download it to our phone. Here are some examples of what the Portra app is capable of.

Download Portra for free on the Google Play Store

Vinci

The third of the applications to transform photos into pictures couldn't have a more appropriate name. It is about Vinci and it is very similar to Prisma in terms of filters and operation. You can take a photo with the camera built into the app or choose one from your phone. The application of the filters is done quite quickly, although the effect, at first, can be a bit aggressive. However, we can adjust the intensity of the mask by clicking on it. Thus, the effect can be much more successful than if we leave the default result.

You can now download Vinci for free on the Play Store.

It's that simple you can transform photos into paintings. Which one do you prefer? We, with all three.
