What is TinyCrayon?

TinyCrayon SDK provides tools for adding image cutout and layer mask capabilities to your mobile applications.

Image layer mask is a fundamental technique in image manipulations. It allows you to selectively modify the opacity (transparency) of the layer they belong to. This flexibility to define the opacity of different areas of a layer is the basis for more interesting image manipulation techniques such as selective coloring and luminosity masking.

The current version of TinyCrayon SDK provides the following three tools:

  • Quick Select: Smart and easy to use, users just need to select part of the object and the edge detection algorithm will find the boundary.
  • Hair Brush: Smooth and natual looking, paint on the hair/fur of an object and the algorithm will select the hair/fur for you in high quality.
  • Regular Brush: A regular brush tool with the capability to adjust its size, hardness and opacity.
