The effect
What does the AI doodle effect look like?
The doodle effect keeps your photo and adds hand-drawn marker scribbles on top — hearts, stars, crowns, sparkles and captions arranged around the subject. The example was made on Pixazo.

The honest bit
What to know before you generate
- The base photo stays yours. The effect adds drawings on top of your image — it doesn't repaint the photo underneath.
- Doodle placement is a draft. AI places the doodles for you; nudge, recolour or remove any of them before you download.
- Legible captions need short text. Keep captions to a few words — long sentences in a doodle font get hard to read.
- Use photos you own. Only decorate photos you have the right to use and share.
