Pencil Days overview

Pencil Days is a web-based tool that turns everyday photos into warm, paper-textured colored pencil, crayon, and hand-drawn sketch illustrations. Users upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo (up to 10 MB), choose a style and aspect ratio, optionally add commemorative text, and generate an illustration. The site offers original AI style examples and supports portraits, couples, pets, families, and friends. Login is optional; visitors are tracked via browser cookies. Generated works are stored for 7 days and can be downloaded. Each work uses one generation credit, and failed generations return the credit. The generation service is not yet enabled, and credit purchases are not yet open.
