Introducing Style Transfer in Pixio’s Upscaler

Pixio’s Upscaler now boasts an innovative feature known as Style Transfer, designed to blend creativity with technology by merging the aesthetics of one image with the structure of another. This cutting-edge feature empowers users to transform their base images by adopting the artistic style of another, creating visually stunning results that combine the best of both worlds.

​
How Style Transfer Works

Select Your Base Image

Begin by uploading the image you wish to transform. This image will serve as the foundation for the style transfer process.

Input a prompt

You can add a prompt to supplement your images. This prompt does not have to be too crazy, a simple prompt does the job!

Initiate Style Transfer

Look for the “Use Style Transfer” option and upload the image whose style you wish to emulate. Images with clear edges and distinct styles yield the best results, allowing for a more seamless and effective transfer.

Adjust Style and Structure Strengths

The feature includes two adjustable sliders for fine-tuning the outcome:

  • Style Strength: Determines the extent to which the artistic style of the second image is applied to your base image. Sliding towards a higher value increases the influence of the chosen style.

  • Structure Strength: Controls how much of the original structure of the base image is preserved during the style transfer. A higher value maintains more of the base image’s original form.

Upscale and Enhance

Once you’ve set your preferences, proceed to upscale your image. This step not only applies the style transfer but also enhances the resolution, ensuring your creation is both beautiful and sharp.

Download Your Masterpiece

After the upscaling and style transfer process is complete, you can download your newly transformed image, ready for sharing, printing, or further editing.

Tips for Maximizing Style Transfer

Choose Complementary Images

For a harmonious style transfer, select images whose styles and themes complement each other. Consider color schemes, textures, and artistic movements.

Experiment with Slider Settings

Don’t hesitate to experiment with different settings for style and structure strengths. Finding the perfect balance can significantly impact the final look of your image.

Focus on Clear Edges

Images with well-defined edges and contrasts tend to work best with style transfer, as they allow for clearer distinctions between the style and structure components.
