👋 Hey Product Hunt! I'm excited to introduce Olipasto. 🎨

Olipasto transforms ordinary photos into expressive oil pastel artwork in just a few clicks, preserving the emotion, depth, and character of every image while recreating the rich textures and vibrant strokes of traditional oil pastel paintings.

My goal was simple: make creating beautiful artwork feel effortless, whether you're an artist, designer, creator, or someone who simply wants to give their memories a timeless, painterly look.

To make the experience even smoother, Olipasto also includes a set of thoughtfully designed keyboard shortcuts so you can work without breaking your creative flow:

R - Reset your artwork to the original image
D - Download your finished artwork instantly
O - Import a new image to start creating
I - Open the Presets panel to explore different images
? - Toggle the help menu whenever you need a quick reference

There's also dynamic lighting throughout the interface that subtly follows your cursor, adding depth and making the editing experience feel more immersive and responsive.

❤️ Thank you so much for checking out Olipasto.

Tried a landscape photo and the texture came out looking really close to actual pastel strokes, especially in the sky. Kept the details in the trees surprisingly well too.

@kade_pei Thank you for trying Olipasto! I'm delighted to hear the pastel texture felt authentic, especially in the sky, while preserving the fine details. Achieving that balance was one of my primary goals, so your feedback truly means a lot. I sincerely appreciate your support and hope you enjoy creating more artwork with Olipasto!
