Petalica Paint

What is Petalica Paint?

Petalica Paint is an AI tool that automatically adds color to images, especially sketches. You upload a sketch, and Petalica Paint colorizes it. You can add color hints to influence the final look, and a SketchSimplification feature helps clean up sketch lines. It offers three colorization styles: ‘Tanpopo’, ‘Satsuki’, and ‘Canna’ — with ‘Canna’ standing out for its shading and lighting effects. The tool also works directly within Pixiv Sketch and is available for commercial use under its terms of service.
