LESS PIXEL. MORE PERSONALITY.YOUR SUBJECT, UNTOUCHED.MADE TO BE PLAYED WITH.
A SIMPLE LITTLE PROCESS

From photo to
“I made that.”

There’s no perfect setting. Just a starting point,
some happy accidents, and a look that’s yours.

01

Bring a little inspiration.

A portrait. A landscape. The photo you almost deleted. Drop it into the studio, or start with our sample.

02

Let the characters take over.

Try a look. Play with size and color. Paint a mask to keep a face, a friend, or your favorite detail untouched.

03

Make it a keeper.

Export a crisp image, editable vector text, or a plain-text grid. Your next poster, cover, or experiment starts here.

SAME IMAGE. DIFFERENT FEELING.

Find your flower.

Four starting points.
Endless ways to wander.

A TOOL WITH GOOD ROOTS

All the play.
None of the baggage.

↳

Your photo stays your photo.

Flower transforms pixels into characters. Protected areas come from your original, never a generated interpretation.

A private little workspace.

Manual editing happens right in your browser. No accounts, tracking, or sending your images to someone else’s server.

BEFORE YOU WANDER IN

A few little answers.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Open the studio and start creating in a modern browser. For automatic AI subject selection, install the local edition with Node.js and the optional Python environment.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

Manual editing and export happen on your device. In the local edition, optional AI selection sends the image only to your own loopback server. The AI model downloads once; your photos do not leave your device.

What can I export?

PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, and TXT. SVG keeps the characters editable and embeds any preserved photograph pixels. PNG gives you lossless raster output. Text export contains the character grid without masks or effects.

Can I use Flower for commercial work?

Yes. Flower’s code is MIT-licensed by Philipp Paulik. You are responsible for the rights to the photos and other content you bring into the studio.
