Use tool ↗About Prisma AI
Prisma is the 2016 photo app that popularised neural style transfer on phones. You pick a photo and apply one of 500-plus art styles modelled on famous painters, with portrait styles for selfies, background replacement and frames. A new daily filter is added in the app. The free version covers basic styles with ads, while a Premium subscription unlocks every style and HD export. It is made by Prisma Labs, the company behind Lensa, and is aimed at casual users who want quick stylised photos rather than detailed retouching.

Pros & cons of Prisma AI
Prisma is still a quick, fun way to make a photo look like a painting, and the free tier lets you judge the effect before paying. It is a filter app, not an editor: expect stylised results and little control, and note that the company's attention has moved to Lensa.
Pros
- Large library of more than 500 art styles with a new one added daily
- Portrait mode can apply a style to the person or the background separately
- Free to install and try before subscribing
Cons
- Phone-only, with no web or desktop version
- Full style library and HD export sit behind a recurring subscription
- The App Store listing's latest version dates from October 2023, so iOS updates have been rare
Best for
- Casual users who want one-tap artistic looks for social posts
- People who like painterly style filters on portraits and selfies
Not for
- Photographers who need precise retouching, layers or RAW support
- Anyone who wants a desktop or browser tool, since there is only a phone app
Watch out: The iOS subscription starts with a free trial that renews automatically, so cancel before day three if you only want to try it. Prisma Labs now promotes Lensa as its main product.
