How To Copy the Style of an Image Using AI

When I’m using AI to generate an image, I often draw inspiration from other visual art – a photograph, drawing, or generated image that captures the mood or style I want. But even with an image in hand, writing a prompt can be a tricky business.

One way to do it is to carefully analyze the image, looking for specific colors, textures, lighting, composition, and style, making a list of the adjectives and nouns that best describe these elements. But why do all that work when AI can do it for you?

I made a tool, ImageToPrompt.com, to make make this process dead simple. It gives you a head start by analyzing your reference image and generating a detailed prompt that describes its key features.

You can then use this prompt as a starting point and refine it further. Try generating multiple images with slight variations in the wording. Swap out synonyms, rearrange the order of elements, or add more specific details. This iterative process will help you fine-tune the prompt until you achieve results that closely match your desired style.

Don’t be afraid to combine elements from multiple reference images in your prompts. You might describe the color scheme of one image, the texture of another, and the composition of a third. This creative remix can lead to unique styles that are all your own.

Lastly, remember to adjust the AI model’s parameters: different AI image generation tools offer various settings that can affect the final output, such as the level of detail, the color palette, or the aspect ratio. Play around with these options to see how they impact the style of your generated images.
