GFX+ Artsy Effects: Detail-Rich Styles With Complete Creative Control
GFX+ Artsy effects are here, and this is one of our biggest photo to art updates yet.
If you have ever wanted your photos to look like real paintings, illustrations, or cinematic scenes without spending hours editing – this is where that changes. With a single click, GFX+ effects do more than apply a style. They rebuild your image with depth, texture, and lighting that actually feel intentional, not filtered.
With GFX+, we go beyond basic. Each effect reshapes how your photo is rendered, from the way light falls across a subject to the brushwork and surface detail. The result feels finished right away, like something you would expect from a real work of art.
Aside from their performance, what really stands out is the range of styles you can explore. With over 30 effects in the collection (and more to come), you can go from the soft, washed look of Watercolor Faded to the bold outlines of Rotoscope, the grounded feel of American Realism, or the glow of Synthwave. There is a lot to explore here, with each one giving your photo a completely new vibe. Because you're not just picking a look, you are choosing how the image feels.
And because everything happens so quickly, it is easy to experiment. Try a few back to back, adjust the fidelity, and see what works best for your photo. No matter what you choose, important details stay intact, while the overall look shifts in a way that still feels natural.
How to Transform Photos With GFX+ Effects
Getting started is simple.
Open your photo in BeFunky and head to the Artsy tab to find the full GFX+ collection. As you click through each effect, you will see it preview on your image in real time, so you can explore without committing to anything.
Once you find an effect you like, apply it as is or adjust the Fidelity and Variation to fine tune the result, then click Apply. From there, you can save your image, share it, or keep experimenting with other effects.
Watch the video below to see GFX+ in action, then jump into the Photo Editor and try it on your own photos.
One Click. Endless Artistic Possibilities.
With GFX+ Artsy effects, you are not just adding a style. You are rethinking what your photo can become.
The same image can take on dozens of different looks in seconds, from painterly and textured to bold and graphic. Each version feels complete, with a level of detail and quality that goes far beyond traditional effects.
If you have a photo you have edited before, try it again with GFX+. You might be surprised where it ends up.
