Prism is a photo editing app that uses neural networks and artificial intelligence to transform images into artistic effects.
This app was created by Alexey Moiseenkov (Russian: ???????????????? ), Oleg Poyaganov, Ilya Frolov, Andrey Usoltsev and launched in June 2016 as a free mobile app. A week after its launch, the app gained popularity and received over 7.5 million downloads and more than 1 million active users as of July 2016. It debuted on iOS in the Apple App Store during the first week of June and it became a leading app in the Save App on Russia and other neighboring countries. On July 19, 2016, the developers launched a beta version of the app for Android and it was closed a few hours later by the developer after receiving feedback from its users. It was then released publicly on July 24, 2016 on Google Play.
In July 2016, the developers announced that the video and virtual reality versions of the app are currently under development.
On July 7, 2017, Prism launched a new app called Sticky that transforms selfies into stickers to share with your social feed.

History
This app was created by a team led by Alexey Moiseenkov who also founded the Prisma laboratory, based in Moscow. Moiseenkov previously worked in Mail.Ru and then resigned from his job to dedicate his time to application development. He says that app development takes only a month and a half and the team does nothing to promote the app.
The algorithm that drives this application is based on open source programming and the algorithm behind DeepArt.

Features
Users can upload images and choose various filters to convert images into artistic effects. At launch, this app offers twenty different filters. Additional filters are added daily. In July 2016, Moiseenkov stated that the app would offer forty filters by the end of the month.
Image rendering occurs on the Prisma lab server and uses neural networks and artificial intelligence to add artistic effects. The results are sent back to the user's phone. Unlike other photo editing apps, Prisms displays images by going through different layers and recreating images instead of inserting layers above the image.
In August 2016, the iOS app version is updated to edit images offline by using the phone processor for image rendering.
Reception
Downloads
One week after its debut on the iOS App Store, the app is downloaded more than 7.5 million times and receives more than 1 million active users. It is also the top registered application in Russia and its neighboring countries. At the end of July 2016, it installed over 12.5 million devices with over 1.5 million active users worldwide. According to Annie's App, it's listed in the top 10 apps in the App Store in 77 different countries.
On the first day of the Android version release, it received over 1.7 million downloads with 50 million images processed by the app.
Research and technology
The research paper behind Prisma App technology is called "Artistic Neural Style Algorithm" by Leon Gatys, Alexander Ecker and Matthias Bethge and presented at the main engine learning conference: Nerve Information Processing System (NIPS) in 2015. This technology is independently developed and before Prisms, and neither universities nor corporations have affiliations with each other.
The latest work developed by Stanford University: Perception Losses for Real-Time Style Transfer and Super Resolution by Justin Johnson, Alexandre Alahi and Li Fei-Fei have also been able to create real-time style transfers via video.
Code for prior paper is available at no cost in GitHub for research purposes. The Prism App (in front of industry), and Style Transfer and Super Resolution (in front of research) has been possible thanks to research and development in human perception, texture analysis, convolutional neural network.
