Introducing Kittl AI Image Style Reference - Apply Your Own Image Styles To New Prompts!

Introducing Kittl AI Image Style Reference - Apply Your Own Image Styles To New Prompts!

We’ve introduced a new feature for our AI Image Generator v2! You can now take an image and use it as a style reference for image generations; this is huge, it means you can combine a visual reference and a text prompt, to generate new content maintaining style consistency!

We’re investing more in ways you can maintain consistency with brand and subject styles with image and design creation, and this is the first step with Kittl AI Image Generation.

How it works

  • Upload an image from your computer or reference from your artboards
  • The image is added as a Saved Style and automatically selected ready to be used, acting like an AI image translator by adapting the style to new creations
  • Write a text prompt to describe the new image you want to generate
  • The image generator produces an image in tune with the style from the provided reference image

You can upload images as many times as you like, but your Saved Styles library has capacity for 12 images at any one time. You have the option to delete styles to make room for new ones. Each style is automatically named for you, but you can manually rename them to help you organise and find styles.

How might you use Image Style Reference?

There are so many use cases for this feature! Here’s a few of our suggestions. Also, take a look at the video below to see how our designers are putting the feature to use.

1. Brand identity

Apply your brand’s visual identity as a style reference to generate custom graphics for marketing materials, presentations, messages for email automation or social media posts. This can help with maintaining consistency across a number of graphics needed for projects, including the email marketing campaign process.

2. Content creation

Take inspiration from trending styles and apply to your own content to share on social media or other channels. Start using dubbing AI to enhance your videos with voiceovers in multiple languages.. Applying popular styles can help boost TikTok view engagement with your content.`

3. Personalised gifts

Take the favourite styles of your recipient and use them as references for your printed gift designs. This can help you easily apply a personalised touch consistently across your gift designs

4. Product prototypes

Experiment applying different styles to prototypes or mockups in bulk to visualise different creative directions. This can help you streamline the design iteration process and lead to more innovative final designs

5. Novel artistic creations

Use existing style references with custom text prompts to help generate unique content that borrows from an artistic style or theme. This can help you efficiently make new designs with different subjects, but maintaining a consistent overall style

Tips on how to use

As with all things AI powered, the technology is constantly advancing and we’re always seeking opportunities to improve the features we provide in Kittl. Right now, Image Style Reference works well with simple imagery as the reference. Colour palettes for example might not precisely match, but we wanted to give you control via the text prompt - think about cases where you need the overarching style to be transferred to a new image, rather than expecting to copy specific objects or colours over to a new image.

In summary

Image Style Reference adds a new option for directing the Image Generator, and gives you more control over the output. By referencing an existing image style, designers can generate new imagery consistent with a style, making it easier than ever to create on-brand content for your next project. The feature lives within Kittl AI Image Generator v2, making it super easy to add styles to save and use again, bringing another powerful AI feature into the design creation tool kit alongside Background Remover and Upscaler.
