Artisto Mobile App converts Videos into Paintings - Android IOS

Tired of waiting for Prisma to launch the app for converting videos into Van Gogh's or other similar paintings? You still have to wait a little longer, but a Russian company has beaten them to it. Mail.ru, a Russian company, has created a video-to-painting simulation similar to what Prisma is working on. The Artisto app converts your short videos into famous artworks within a matter of a few seconds. Although the app was developed in just eight days, it is fun to use. It's still in beta, so it has limited filters compared with what you have seen in the Prisma app's photo-to-painting simulation. Artisto can process 10-second videos, and users can apply any of the 14 filters to convert them into famous artworks. Currently, the most popular filters are ‘BlueDream,’ based on a Pablo Picasso painting, and ‘In the Fire,’ according to Mail.ru Group. The developers are still working on additional filters, which will be released later.

When comparing Prisma and Artisto, Artamonova(Mail.Ru Group VP, Head of Email and Portal business unit) told EWDN: “Both applications were developed based on open-source technologies. Artisto was created by a group of machine learning enthusiasts from different units of Mail.Ru Group. It took them just weeks to improve the source code, ensuring higher efficiency and speed of video processing.”

Artisto's launch happened just few weeks after Prisma, photography app was launched. Prisma app has taken the world up by storm and there are numerous downloads happening on a large scale basis, which sometimes tends to crash the app, due to over capacity. Prisma app was developed by an ex employee of Mail.ru organization, Alexey Moiseenkov. Regarding the type of filters this is what Google Play description reads - "Enjoy the super effects used to be available only to DreamWorks, Pixar, Disney and other famous studios! See the world through the eyes of Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso and other great artists!".

This app is totally free and it's available on your iTunes and Google Play store. So enjoy converting your videos to paintings.
