The powerful features of AI image style transfer.
AI image style transfer powered by Adobe Firefly uses machine learning to blend the content of one image with the visual style of another, transforming your original image into something new. With Generative Match, you can upload your own image to generate images in your unique style, or apply a reference image to guide the new aesthetic.
Just upload a style reference, like a watercolor painting, pencil sketch, textured landscape, or even other AI-generated art, and Firefly will apply that look to your new image. You can also browse the curated gallery to explore dozens of ready-made styles. Whether you’re aiming for subtle changes or bold transformations, AI style transfer makes it fast and easy to achieve your creative vision.
Transfer image styles for cohesive content.
AI image style transfer lets you upload an image as a reference, then generate new assets that align with that style. Whether you're creating art, illustrations, product concepts, logos, or social content, applying a consistent look helps everything feel cohesive. Use reference images to produce unified visuals for articles, blogs, ads, social content and more.
Update image styles and visuals faster.
An image style transfer tool makes it easy to refresh the look of your assets without starting over. Whether you're following new design trends or simply changing your personal style, you can update colors, textures, and overall aesthetic in minutes. Apply a new reference image to adjust one piece or quickly transform a set of visuals into a consistent, updated style.
Stylize images with no experience.
You don’t need to be a professional designer to create cohesive, professional-looking assets. Upload a reference image to apply that style across logos, product concepts, social graphics, and more. Image style transfer makes it easy to keep everything on-brand without advanced design skills.

Image style transfer and Generative Match FAQs.
AI image style transfer, also known as neural style transfer, is the use of an AI generator to create an image in the style of a reference image. For example, if you want to generate an image of a superhero in a comic book style, you can select the comic book style image from the Digital Illustration section of the Reference Image Gallery. Firefly uses deep neural networks to understand the style of the reference image and apply it to a prompt so you can achieve the look you’re going for quicker and with greater accuracy.
Image style transfers use trained neural networks, which learn the style features of the reference image (including colors, textures, and brush strokes). The neural networks then apply those style features to the content of another image. In Firefly, Generative Match applies the style features to the new images it generates from text prompts.
As part of Adobe’s effort to design Firefly to be commercially safe, we are training our initial commercial Firefly models on licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. If you upload third-party reference images, you must have the rights to use them.
Stylizing an image with AI helps you quickly apply a specific look or mood to your visuals, like watercolor, pencil, 3D, or neon, without manual editing. AI image style transfer saves time while giving you more creative control and consistency across your designs.
You can use an AI image style transfer tool to generate cohesive assets for branding, social media, digital art, product concepts, and more.
The image style transfer AI feature in Generative Match is included in Adobe Firefly’s free plan, with some limits based on credits.
For the best results with AI style transfer, choose a high-quality reference image that clearly shows the textures, colors, or effects you want to apply. Adjust the Style Strength slider to control how closely the generated image follows the reference.
