What is an AI photo doodle?

It is your own photo with hand-drawn style doodles added around and over it, such as hearts, stars, sparkles, arrows, clouds and squiggles, often with a short handwritten caption. The photo underneath is not redrawn.

Will the doodles change my face or cover it?

No. The people, faces, clothes and background stay the same, and the doodles go into the empty space around the subject, not over faces.

Can I add my own caption?

Yes. Type the words after "caption:", for example caption: summer with you. Keep it to a few words so it stays readable. If you do not type a caption, no text is added.

Can I choose the colour and style of the doodles?

Yes. Pick a chip or type a style such as white marker, pink hearts, colorful crayon, scrapbook or minimal lines. Run it again to get a different layout.

What the photo doodle look is

A photo doodle is a normal picture with playful hand-drawn marks added on top, as if someone grabbed a marker and scribbled on the print: little hearts, stars, sparkles, arrows pointing at you, clouds, crowns and loose squiggles filling the empty space. The lines are a bit wobbly on purpose, so they look drawn rather than pasted. The look took off on Stories and short videos because it turns an ordinary selfie, couple shot or travel photo into something that feels personal and fun. The AI photo doodle maker draws that layer for you in a few seconds.

Doodle styles to try

Leave the box empty for the classic version: white marker hearts, stars and sparkles around the subject. Or describe the style you want: "cute pink hearts and stars", "scrapbook page" for tape strips, frames and little notes, "colorful crayon" for a childlike hand, "minimal line doodles" for just a few clean marks, "black marker" for a Polaroid feel, or "birthday doodles" for balloons, confetti and a party hat. Want words on it? Add a short caption, for example caption: best day ever. Without one, no text is added.

Your photo stays your photo

The doodles are only an extra layer. Faces, expressions, bodies, hair, clothes, pose, colours and the background stay as they were, and the drawings are kept off faces so nobody is hidden. Photos with some open sky, wall or floor around the subject give the doodles the most room. Pets, couples, groups, outfits and food photos all work. Run it again for a new layout.
