A new filter craze is now taking over the internet. More and more, you can see people turning their selfies into art. Or to be more precise, adding filters that mimic the styles of paintings by famous artists. these filters add a whole new dimension to photos.

Prisma (Android, iOS): The Best of the Art Filter Apps

You’ve probably seen this app mentioned either on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter recently. Prisma has really kicked off the art-style filter craze because it is remarkably easy to use, and does a few things none of the other apps do.

With Prisma, once you choose a photo and a filter, it will apply the filter immediately (takes about 10-20 seconds) and show you a preview of your final image. It’s just like how Instagram filters work. You can then slide your finger left or right to denote the intensity of the filter, from 0 to 100 percent.

The instant preview and the intensity are not features that you get in any other “art filter” app at the moment, which makes Prisma stand out. Prisma is available for free on Android and iPhone, but the iPad version costs $2.99.

Pikazo (Android, iOS): Make Your Own Custom Art Filter!

Pikazo has been around for a longer time than Prisma, which gives it a slight edge. For example, not only is it free on all platforms, but it also lets you create your own filter.

You start by choosing an image from your phone’s gallery or shooting a new one. Next, choose from one of the few preloaded paintings to determine your style, or add a custom painting from your phone’s gallery. You can easily find great paintings online , and choose something that matches your taste.

When you’re done, upload it to Pikazo’s servers, where it will take a few minutes to apply the filter to your image. It’s not instant, which is a little disappointing, but the waiting period isn’t too long (about 5-10 minutes). All your creations are stored in Pikazo and can be shared to social networks or downloaded for free.
