Portrait: rhinestone and diamond painting portraits from a photo

Portrait is built for faces and for creating diamond painting: it reads the highlights and shadows of the photograph and translates them into a grid of stones, keeping the subject's features recognisable and the result realistic. It is the right tool when a generic dot pattern would flatten the portrait.

You can adjust contrast, density and stone size until you get the look you want, then export the template ready for printing or cutting.

How to use it

  1. Upload the portrait photo to create your diamond painting; if needed, change the background colour or remove it with the Remove Background tool.
  2. Choose the design size and the stone size, with the spacing you want.
  3. Fine-tune the parameters to reach your ideal result.
  4. Download the file in the version you prefer: SVG or DXF for cutting and printing, JPG or PNG for screen and mockups.
