About Painta.me: WebAR for artists
Painta.me helps artists bring murals, paintings and prints to life with augmented reality. Add video, sound or 3D to your work in a visual editor. Share a link or QR code so people can view it on their phone, with no app to install.
Created and curated by Bernie Torras, Painta.me brings the editor, your public art portfolio and an artist community together. Contact us for help with your work.
Made with #AR-evolution
Don't build AR alone. Build it with creators.
Painta.me is a creator hub where your work gets feedback & visibility while the editor keeps getting better from what the community actually needs.
Feedback Loop
Get direct critique from AR artists (and the builder). Less guessing, faster improvements, better pieces.
Visibility & Showcases
Submit your work to curated spotlights, community picks, and challenges—so your AR gets seen, not buried.
Collabs & Clients
Find collaborators, share templates and techniques, and turn your portfolio into real opportunities—commissions, gigs, and partnerships.
