New iOS app Prisma turns user’s photos into paintings

For all those going bananas over Instagram filters, note that it’s going passé. Known as prisma, the app lets you convert your pictures into works of art, following the styles of Van Gogh, Picasso, Levitan, according to the company’s website. The app lies on neutral networks and artificial intelligence in order to turn your photos into art, and the iOS-only app has taken over the internet.

As you take a picture from the Camera roll or upload one, you need to tap next and zero on the filter that appeals you the most. Impression, Curtain, Running in the storm, Mondrain are some of the available filters. It allows you to choose the intensity of the filter you want to apply.

The newly-launched app features a very minimalistic interface that makes it easy to navigate and use. While most photo apps go for a dark interface design, Prisma has a ton of white. The thin and light icons for all of the buttons are easily recognizable, so you won’t have any trouble knowing how the app works which is a plus point.

While Prisma will put a watermark on your images initially, you can just toggle the setting off if it bothers you (free of cost!)The app takes a couple of seconds to apply the filter, but the wait is worth it as some of these deliver some really stunning results. Prisma lets users directly share on Instagram and Facebook, which might appeal to many people, given that this is why most of us spend hours editing photos.

Prisma app has been developed by Prisma Labs, and the company has promised an Android app by the end of the month. For iOS users, who love to edit their photos, Prisma is becoming all the rage.
