What is Prisma?
Prisma is a mobile photo editor app developed by Prisma Labs, Inc. that transforms ordinary photos into artistic paintings using AI-powered art filters. The app uses neural networks and computer vision to apply over 500 artistic styles inspired by famous artists like Picasso, Munch, and Salvador Dali, as well as unique styles including blur, ornament, embroidery, and more. Users can turn their photos into masterpieces with just one tap.
Key features include daily new art filters released every day, fine-tuning tools for exposure, sharpness, contrast, brightness, retouching, blur, and skin editing. The app combines photo editor, blemish remover, and photo background changer functionality. It supports selfie editing, cartoon effects, beauty photo editing, and pop art/surrealist painting effects. Photos can be saved in HD quality with premium subscription or SD quality for free users.
Prisma is designed for anyone who wants to enhance photos creatively without needing professional photo editing skills. It caters to casual users editing selfies and photos for social media, photographers looking for artistic effects, content creators needing unique visual content, and even businesses editing product photos. The app has over 120 million users and 50+ million downloads with a 4.5-star rating.
The app works on both iOS and Android devices and requires an internet connection since it relies on AI technology for processing. Prisma is recognized as Google Editor's Choice and was App of the Year in 2016.
