- Does it restyle the whole photo or just part of it?
- Both. By default one click restyles the entire photo. If you want only part of it changed — one person, the sky, a building — choose 'Style only part of it' and brush that region; everything outside your selection stays exactly the same.
- What styles work best?
- The 10 built-in styles (Studio Ghibli, watercolor, oil painting, cyberpunk neon, vaporwave, vintage film, noir, comic ink, pencil sketch, 1970s sci-fi) are tuned prompts with example previews — start there. For custom styles, name the medium (oil, watercolor, ink), era (1980s, art nouveau), and palette (muted earth tones, neon); vague words like "cool" produce inconsistent results.
- Will the subject stay recognizable?
- Yes. Our AI uses your photo as a structural reference — the underlying pose, shape, and composition are preserved while the visual style changes. A face stays the same face, an object stays the same object — they just look like they were drawn or painted instead of photographed.
- How is this different from Generative Fill or Replace Anything?
- Same model, different prompt scaffold. Generative Fill replaces the brushed content entirely with whatever you describe. Selective Style Transfer keeps the underlying subject and only changes how it's rendered. If you want a dog to become a cat, use Replace Anything. If you want the dog to look like a watercolor painting of itself, use this.
- Does it leave watermarks or reduce resolution?
- No watermark on the output. Full-resolution PNG at the same dimensions as your input. the AI processes at up to ~1024px internally; we Lanczos-upscale back to your original size.
