Image to Image AI

Transform any image with AI. Upload a photo or artwork, describe the transformation — change the style, mood, medium, or aesthetic — and the AI generates a new version while preserving the composition and structure. Turn photos into paintings, sketches into renders, and concepts into finished art.

How to transform images with AI

01

Upload your image

Drop any image — photo, sketch, illustration, or AI art. The AI preserves the composition and structure while transforming the style.

02

Describe the transformation

Tell the AI how to change it: 'make it look like a watercolor painting,' 'convert to anime style,' 'apply cinematic color grading,' or 'turn the sketch into a photorealistic render.'

03

Generate and compare

The AI creates the transformed version in seconds. Compare side-by-side, adjust the prompt, try different styles, and download the result.

What makes this image-to-image tool different

Most style transfer tools apply a single filter. Melies uses AI image models that understand your image and creatively reinterpret it — preserving what matters while transforming everything else.

Style Transfer

Apply any artistic style — watercolor, oil painting, anime, cinematic, 3D render, pencil sketch, and more. The AI preserves composition while completely transforming the medium.

Image Variations

Generate multiple variations of the same image. Each variation reinterprets the original with subtle differences — ideal for exploring creative directions.

Sketch to Render

Transform rough sketches and wireframes into polished, photorealistic renders. Draw the concept, let the AI finish the execution.

Mood & Lighting Change

Change the time of day, weather, season, or lighting. Turn a daytime scene into golden hour, a summer landscape into winter, or a flat photo into dramatic noir.

Multi-Model Support

Access multiple AI models for different transformation styles. Each model interprets your prompt differently — compare results and pick the best.

Strength Control

Adjust how much the AI changes. Low strength keeps the image almost identical with subtle style shifts. High strength creates dramatic transformations. Full control over the balance.
