Low Poly Art: how to use it
- Drop in a photo.
- Set the number of triangles and how closely they follow edges.
- Choose lines or none, and download.
Tips
- 300 to 800 triangles look bold and abstract; 2,000 and up keep the likeness.
- Thin white lines give the classic geometric poster look.
Low Poly Art: what it does and when to use it
Low Poly Art rebuilds a photo out of flat-coloured triangles, the geometric style used for posters, phone wallpapers, game art and album covers. Few triangles give a bold, abstract image; a few thousand keep the likeness while still looking crafted.
Points are scattered over the photo, more of them along edges where the brightness changes, so the triangles follow the outlines of the subject instead of cutting across them. The points are joined with a Delaunay triangulation, which avoids long, thin slivers, and each triangle is filled with the colour of the photo under it. Follow edges sets how strongly the points gather along outlines, and Lines can draw a thin white or dark mesh over the result.
The output is the same size as your photo, so it can be printed or used as a wallpaper. Faces, animals and landscapes with a clear shape work well; flat skies turn into a few large triangles, which is part of the look. It runs on your device. For square pixels instead of triangles, try Image to Pixel Art, and for curved pieces of glass, the Stained Glass Effect.
Low Poly Art: frequently asked questions
How do I make low poly art from a picture?
Drop the picture in, choose how many triangles you want and download. The triangles follow the edges of the photo and each is filled with the colour beneath it. Related tool: Stained Glass Effect.
How many triangles should I use?
A few hundred for a bold, abstract poster; 1,500 to 3,000 for a recognisable portrait or animal; up to 6,000 for fine detail. Related tool: Image to Pixel Art.
Is the result a vector file?
No, it is a PNG or JPG the same size as your photo. For a vector, trace it with the SVG Vectorizer, which works well on flat-coloured shapes like these.
Why is the result different each time I change the settings?
The points are spread pseudo-randomly, so changing the triangle count changes where they fall. The same settings on the same photo always give the same result. More help: ImgVX AI help docs.
