About Pencil Sketch Tool

How It Works

The tool applies a Gaussian blur to the grayscale image, then uses the blur difference (similar to a high-pass filter) to extract edges. The result is inverted to create white paper with dark pencil-like lines.

FAQ

The tool detects edges in the image and draws them as dark lines on a white background, similar to how a pencil creates marks on paper.
