How it works

  1. Upload a reference image in the playground and switch to the image-to-image tab.
  2. Describe the transformation you want - mention style, lighting, and specific changes.
  3. Adjust strength to control how closely the new image matches your original, then generate variations.

Dial in the look by combining your reference image with targeted prompts - mention brush styles, film stocks, or lighting direction to steer Stable Diffusion accurately.

Best practices for image-to-image quality

  • Keep strength between 0.35 and 0.65 when you want to preserve composition but refresh the style; push higher for dramatic remixes.
  • Use inpainting (masking) inside the playground to update only part of an image, such as outfits, backgrounds, or sky replacements.
  • Capture your original prompt, seed, and settings after each win so you can reproduce the exact variation later.

Image-to-image FAQ

What image formats can I upload for Stable Diffusion image-to-image?

PNG and JPG files work best. Aim for 1024×1024 or similar dimensions for SDXL; the playground will automatically resize larger inputs.

How do I control how much the output changes?

The strength slider controls fidelity to the source. Lower values keep the original structure, while higher values allow Stable Diffusion to invent new details.

Can I combine text prompts with image prompts?

Yes. The text prompt guides the final look while the uploaded image anchors composition. Provide clear instructions about colors, lighting, and any details you want added or removed.
