Apply Style Filters on Image API

What it does

Image Style Transfer applies lightweight style filters to an uploaded image and returns the transformed file. Send a binary image up to 20 MB, choose a style mode, and get the styled image back as binary output.

Use mode to pick the visual treatment: painting, watercolor, sketch, or oil. Use strength to control how strongly the effect is applied, from 0 to 1, with 0.65 as the default. This keeps the endpoint simple to fit into batch image pipelines, user-generated content tools, or quick preview workflows where you want a stylized variant without running a heavier model.

Image Style Transfer is a practical fit when you need to generate alternate artwork for a thumbnail, create a sketch version of a product image, or preview how an asset looks with a painterly filter. The response is the processed image only, so it drops cleanly into the next step of your file handling flow.
