Directions
Choose a base image. Then choose one or more styles with which you want to reimagine the image.
Enabling "Resemble Base" maximizes the likelihood the output looks like the base image. Disable this option for more artistic results.
For optimal results, please follow these guidelines:
-
Ensure the base and style images are similar in size and aspect ratio.
-
Pick style images with rich artistic elements like texture, color palette, and brush strokes. In other words, choose style images with distinctive styles. Otherwise, our AI model has nothing to extract and apply to the base image.
-
Pick base images like normal pictures. These offer the simplest "canvas" on which our AI can apply a style.
As a startup, we also encourage you to experiment and break these rules. :) Hopefully you'll create fascinating art in unexpected ways.
Increase Image Size
To increase image resolution, use our AI Image Upscaler.
Overview
This Hotpot AI service analyzes a painting or illustration, extracts the style, and "paints" another picture with this style. In more technical terms, we utilize a subfield of machine learning called deep learning to offer arbitrary artistic style transfer. Most image style transfer models are trained on fixed, pre-defined styles. Ours is designed for flexibility and can accommodate styles not encountered during the training phase.
For this service, pictures are not saved without user permission. For storage costs and user privacy, we only retain images for as long as necessary to run our machine learning models, and do not store photos beyond this.
