Turn a photo into WPAP art without tracing a single facet
This WPAP generator converts a portrait photo into Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait style — the flat, faceted geometry Indonesian illustrator Wedha Abdul Rasyid created in 1990. You pick a three-colour palette, and you get a high-resolution portrait in seconds instead of the hours it takes to trace facets by hand in CorelDRAW or Illustrator.
How it works
- 1
Upload a portrait
A front-facing photo with clear light and shadow works best — the facets are built from tonal edges.
- 2
Choose three colours
Start from a preset palette or set your own primary, secondary and accent hex values.
- 3
Generate and download
Request up to four variations at once, then download as PNG, JPEG or WebP.
What you can make
SMK multimedia students
WPAP is on the Indonesian vocational design syllabus. Generate reference versions to study how facets follow the planes of a face before rebuilding one by hand.
Commission illustrators
Quote a client a same-day draft instead of a three-day turnaround, then refine the composition yourself before delivery.
Community and event organisers
Produce a consistent set of speaker or player portraits for an event feed without commissioning each one separately.
Gift and print sellers
Offer WPAP portraits as a print product — output is high-resolution and PNG keeps edges crisp for large formats.

Tips for better results
- Use a high-contrast, front-facing portrait. WPAP facets are built from the boundaries between light and shadow, so flat, evenly-lit photos give the model almost nothing to work with.
- Hard side light beats soft light here. The same photo that looks harsh in a normal portrait usually produces the cleanest facet structure.
- Crop tight to the head and shoulders before uploading. Busy backgrounds pull facets away from the face, which is where the style actually reads.
- Pick three colours with clearly different brightness, not just different hues. Classic WPAP palettes work because the values separate — three equally-bright colours flatten the whole portrait.
- Generate four variations and keep the one whose facets follow the cheekbone and jaw. That edge is the fastest way to judge whether a WPAP reads as a likeness.
Frequently asked questions
What does WPAP stand for?
WPAP stands for Wedha’s Pop Art Portrait. It is named after Wedha Abdul Rasyid, the Indonesian illustrator who developed the style in 1990 while working in magazine illustration. Several sites state other expansions; they are incorrect.
Is the WPAP generator free?
Generating uses credits from your Publiz plan. You can create an account and try it on the free credit allowance before paying anything.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Generating and downloading require an account so your results are saved to your media library and billed to your credit balance.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes. Output is yours to use, including client commissions and print products.
Is this the same as tracing WPAP by hand?
No. Hand-traced WPAP gives you control over every facet and is what commission work and coursework usually require. This generator is faster for drafts, references and volume work, and many illustrators use it as a starting point rather than a replacement.
What photo works best?
A sharp, front-facing portrait with strong directional light and a plain background. Group photos, profile angles and low-light images all produce weaker facet structure.
