AI Photo Style Transfer

AI Photo Style Transfer

Apply artistic styles to photographs, transforming them into paintings, illustrations, and other visual media using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.

Quick Start

Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.

Using curl

curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Transform this photograph into a Van Gogh-style oil painting: swirling brushstrokes, thick impasto texture, vibrant post-impressionist colors, starry night energy, maintain the original composition and subjects but reimagine entirely in oil paint"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/original-photo.jpg"}}
            ]
          }
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

Using Python (OpenAI SDK)

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="eachsense/beta",
    messages=[{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Transform this photograph into a Van Gogh-style oil painting: swirling brushstrokes, thick impasto texture, vibrant post-impressionist colors, starry night energy, maintain the original composition and subjects but reimagine entirely in oil paint"
    }],
    # Images are included in the message content array above
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Streaming

Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Tips for Style Transfer

• Always provide the source photo via image_urls for transformation.
• Name the target style explicitly — "oil painting," "watercolor," "charcoal sketch," "anime," "pop art."
• Reference specific artists or movements — "Monet impressionism," "Hokusai woodblock," "Warhol pop art."
• Control the transformation intensity — "subtle stylization" vs. "complete reimagining."
• Specify what to preserve — "keep the facial features accurate" or "maintain the building architecture."

Examples

        "content": [
              {"type": "text", "text": "Convert this landscape photograph into a delicate watercolor painting: soft color washes bleeding at the edges, visible paper texture, loose brushwork in the foliage, sharper detail in the foreground, traditional watercolor technique with wet-on-wet blending"},
              {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/landscape.jpg"}}
            ]
