About this tool

Let the image grow into a field of drawn marks.

Flow Field follows image color and direction with strokes, hatching, and ink-like traces. Move between a source-led drawing and a generated blank-canvas composition without leaving the same working surface.

FAQ

Flow Field

What can I make with Flow Field?

Use it for generative drawing studies, organic campaign backgrounds, and plotter-like textures for print and motion. The controls stay live, so the same source can branch into multiple visual directions.

What can I adjust in Flow Field?

The main controls include Layout, Stroke Style, Stroke Count, and Field Mode. Additional composition and finish controls are available inside Studio.

What can Flow Field export?

Flow Field exports PNG / JPEG / Video. Available dimensions and motion options follow the tool's Web capabilities.

What changes on the Web?

Export motion as video instead of Live Photo.

Does SHADR upload my image?

No. Image processing happens locally in your browser for this tool.

Is this the same tool as SHADR for iOS?

The core tool, parameters, presets, and rendering logic are shared. On iOS, Live Photo export is available; the Web version uses the fallback described above.
