Does this create true vector paths?

No. This effect produces a raster image that looks like line art. It is not an editable SVG.

Can it produce one continuous line?

It aims for minimal linework but cannot guarantee a mathematically continuous single stroke.

Will the background be white?

The look favors clean negative space, but output may vary. Simple input backgrounds help.

Is it suitable for portraits?

Yes. Clear face shapes and profiles often work well, though very subtle features may be simplified.

How is this different from sketch?

Sketch uses pencil shading and paper texture, while Line Art emphasizes clean contours with little shading.

Line Art vs. Pencil Sketch

Line Art reduces the scene to deliberate contours, while Pencil Sketch includes graphite texture, shading, and tonal depth. Choose Line Art when you want a cleaner, more graphic result. The file is a raster image, not an editable SVG.
