Image Style Shift: Be a Famous Painter in a Click


Your Ultimate App to Becoming a Famous Artist

Published on December 22, 2020

Ever wanted to be a famous painter like Vincent Van Gogh? It’s no longer a dream. Image Style Shift can give your pictures a stroke of Van Gogh’s paintbrush. If you want to sketch like a famous painter, you can now create unique artistic images using Image Style Shift’s algorithm to redraw one image using another image’s stylistic elements. It’s not a human, but the artificial intelligence that produces bespoke artworks in just a click!

Painting is an essential form of visual arts, bringing in drawing, composition, gesture, narration, and abstraction. In the past, redrawing an image into a particular style required an experienced artist and was time-consuming. Art theories behind the artworks’ mass appeal have had challenged artists and computer programmers’ minds for a long time. So, they built a style transfer technique to enable the automated painting process without human touch. Professional-looking artistic images, or paintings, now just as a few clicks – technology worth million dollars. An artwork created by Paris-based art collective Obvious using artificial intelligence was sold at Christie’s auction house in New York for $432,000 – more than 40 times the estimated selling price of $7,000 to $10,000.

Image Style Shift is a highly user-engaging yet very straightforward app that transfers the style from any image, or artwork, onto an arbitrary image. With this app, you can create unique and innovative bodies of work resembling Picasso, Van Gogh, and other Great artists. Its complete out-of-the-box experience provides users with preloaded style templates with the ability to add more styles later.

AI allows combining the content of one image with the style of another to create artwork. Neural Style Transfer (NST) advancements made applications like this possible using deep neural networks to power up the style transformations. NST is incredibly unique and useful since it only requires a single style image to transfer that style to a new user-uploaded image.

Style transfer applications now emerge in many industries, such as gaming, commercial art, photo editors, and video editors, to name a few. Artificial intelligence, like the NST, is a breakthrough step into the world of Virtual Reality. Imagine a virtual world created using style transfer technology that mimics famous painters’ work! Potentially it can take the gaming industry by storm with virtual reality developments and innovative, creative ideas.

Image Style Shift is now available for download in Microsoft Store for Windows 10-run PCs and mobile devices. Initially released in 2019, the Image Style Shift app receives frequent updates.

Image Style Shift’s user-friendly experience allows on-device image uploading and saving, as well as webcam-connectivity. With a powerful GPU image processing time is drastically improved.

Unlike its rivals like Prisma and DeepArt, the Image Style Shift app ensures the user’s privacy by completing the image shift calculations on the user’s device offline.
