Turn images into geometric shapes

Recreate your images and turn them into geometric shapes with Geometrize. This open-source multimedia application uniquely processes your images by using geometric primitives and basic shapes, such as lines, circles, and triangles. If you want to create artistic versions of your photos, this is a photo editing software that you can try.

Make your photos more artistic

As mentioned, Geometrize uses geometry to make your pictures look more artistic. The app relies on an algorithm that draws an image using a set of shapes to make the result similar to the original material. It lets you view the process in real-time, so you can see the changes that the app makes in every step. During the editing, you can see that the recreated image becomes more and more accurate as the app adds more shapes.

Getting started with the app is easy enough. You can add your images by importing them. To do so, you can simply drag and drop them to the window or provide the link of the image if you are getting them online. Geometrize comes with hundreds of preconfigured settings, which you can use to process your images in a flash. However, if you wish for it to be more personalized, you can customize the parameters of the process.

You can specify which shapes you want to use, such as circles, lines, or triangles. You can also set the number of shapers per update and even their opacity. More, the app even allows you to customize the geometrization algorithm using the embedded ChaiScript scripting engine.

Once done, you can export your finished item. Geometrize supports various image formats, including PNG, JPG, SVG, and JSON. It also allows you to export your processed images to raster and vector formats, such as GIF animations and web pages. With this, you can use your processed images for various projects.

Beginner-friendly

Geometrize is a nifty image editor when you want to create more artistic pictures. However, working around the app is challenging, especially if you are not that familiar with the geometrization process. Don’t worry, though, since the app makes up for it by providing users with some helpful tools.

For one, Geometrize links you to a Youtube tutorial series on your first launch. These tutorials will walk you through on how to recreate images with the app and give you some helpful tips when setting up the parameters. And if that’s not enough, the app also comes with a large number of sample images with suggested parameter settings.

Geometrize’s interface is a bit dated, but its layout is not confusing, so you can easily navigate around it. It also allows you to hide or show various panels and even customize their placement in the windows to give you a workstation that suits your preference.

Worth trying out

Overall, Geometrize is a cool application that you can check out. The app lets you bring more artistry to your images by incorporating geometric primitives. It offers a wide range of tools that you can use to create unique variations. More, it comes with completely customizable parameters to give you creative freedom. When you want to try a new approach to image editing, this app is worth a try.
