Hey everyone,

I'm a solo developer and a massive Impressionism nerd. For a long time, I had this little frustration: I wanted to make my everyday photos look like Monet paintings, but I didn't want a 200MB+ app, and I didn't want another "AI-generated" image that just feels like a slot machine.

So I spent a few months building my own thing. It's called [Artelf], and it's literally only 6.6MB.

I built it with four filters, but I want to tell you about two of my favorites:

The Monet filter — This is the one I obsessed over. I tried to get it to soften the edges and blend colors like a real Impressionist painting, rather than just slapping a blur on it. I spent way too many nights tweaking it.

The Van Gogh Starry Night filter — This one is a bit of a chaotic experiment. If you upload a portrait, it tries to absorb you into the painting. Sometimes it works, and you become the little silhouette in the corner of Starry Night. Sometimes it fails, and the whole photo just becomes a swirling sky. It's a little unpredictable, but that's why I love it.

There are also a minimalist monochrome and an edge sketch filter, but those two above are my babies.

The boring but important details:

· It's a one-time $0.99 purchase (no subscriptions, no ads, no data tracking).
· It's 6.6MB, so it downloads in a blink and doesn't hog your storage.
· It works on iPhone and iPad.

I'm not a big company, just one person who really likes art and wanted a tiny tool. If you try it, I'd genuinely love to know what you think of the Monet filter — does it feel like a real painting to you? And if the Van Gogh filter eats your face, please tell me.

大家好，

我是一个独立开发者，也是印象派的粉丝。我制作了一个小应用——Artelf（只有6.6MB），可以一键将你的照片变成艺术画作。

它的功能：

· 莫奈滤镜——柔化边缘，混合颜色，让照片有梦幻的印象派感觉
· 梵高星夜——尝试将你的肖像“吸收”进画作中
· 极简单色——几乎黑白，保留一点颜色
· 边缘素描——将照片转化为松散的素描轮廓

我为什么发这个：
我希望得到真实的反馈，尤其是关于莫奈滤镜的。效果感觉像真的画作吗？对不同类型的照片（风景、肖像、花卉）有效吗？任何意见都很感激。

详情：

· 售价$0.99（原价$4.99）——一次性购买，没有订阅，没有广告，没有数据收集
· 6.6MB——几秒钟下载，节省空间
· iPhone & iPad——通用
· 不需要登录

感谢你的关注——很高兴回答任何问题。如果你试了，告诉我你最喜欢哪个滤镜！

Hey r/promoteMyApp

I'm a solo developer and a huge fan of Impressionism. I always wanted a simple way to make my photos look like a Monet painting without using complex software.

So I spent a few months building a tiny app (only 6.6MB!) that does exactly that. It has 4 filters, my favorite being the Monet one that softens the edges and blends the colors.

Here's a before/after example

It's called Artelf. I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you're into art or photography. Any feedback is welcome!

Thanks for looking!
