Vinci is a free Prisma like app from VK to turn photos into artwork. Using this app, you’ll be able to turn all your photos into something amazing with dozens of stunning artistic filters. Currently, it offers more than 20 astonishing filters including Neon, Fire, Sunny, Msqrd, Piranese, Transverse, Raphael, etc. which are inspired from various painting legends like Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Albert Marquet, and more. Similar to Prisma, you can either import photos from your camera roll to apply the artistic filters or capture fresh ones using the built-in camera.
Apart from capturing photos using the built-in camera, you can also record GIFs and then turn them into artwork as well. Another interesting feature of this app is that it comes with an advanced cropping tool which allows you to crop your photos and GIFs in perfect angles to make them look more impressive. When you’re done turning your photos or GIFs into artwork, you can save or directly share them with others via VK, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
