Prisma turns your photos into artwork in one tap, with hundreds of painterly art styles inspired by famous artists, backed by 200M+ downloads and an App of the Year pedigree.
Prisma was one of the first AI photo apps to go truly mainstream, winning App of the Year on both the App Store and Google Play after its 2016 launch. Its neural style transfer doesn’t just lay a filter over your photo: it repaints the image in the manner of a chosen artistic style, from classic painters to modern art movements, and the result still feels original. A library of 500-700+ styles (new ones land daily) covers portraits, landscapes, and architecture, and portrait segmentation lets you apply a style to the person, the background, or both independently.
Beyond style transfer, Prisma includes everyday editing tools and vivid frames, plus selfie extras like background replacement. Its maker, Prisma Labs, is also behind Lensa AI, and the Prisma style-transfer engine runs in the cloud for fast processing of high-resolution images.
Prisma is free with a selection of styles and standard-definition output. Prisma Premium unlocks the full style catalog (700+), HD export, and no watermarks, at $7.99/month or $29.99/year via the app stores, with a 3-day free trial available for new subscribers. The free web version offers 100+ styles with low-resolution downloads.
Best for casual creators, social media users, and art lovers who want striking painted looks in seconds. It is a style-first app: photographers wanting precise color control or RAW workflows will need a different tool.
