Frequently asked questions
- How is the pop art made?
- The photo is smoothed so its shapes are clean, then cut into four tones by its own brightness: shadows, two middle tones and highlights. Each copy in the grid paints those four tones in a different scheme of bold colours, and the dots, when on, print one middle tone as dots of the tone below it.
- What size is the result?
- The same size as the photo (up to 16 megapixels). With four copies each one is half as wide and half as tall, with nine a third. Choose one copy for a single large print.
- Can I use a photo with a transparent background?
- Yes, and it works well: the cut-out subject gets a flat background in a contrasting colour of each scheme, like a screen print. Remove the background first, then make the pop art. The result itself has no transparent areas.
- Is my photo uploaded, and what are the free limits?
- No. The pop art is made in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device, and there is no watermark. The free plan allows 3 photos of up to 20 MB per run and 5 runs a day; Pro removes these limits.
