AI image to image workflow steps
-
1. Upload the source image — a photo, sketch, previous generation, or reference grab.
-
2. Describe the change in one sentence: the new style, the elements to keep, and the elements to replace.
-
3. Set the strength: low strength preserves composition and identity, high strength gives the model freedom to reinterpret.
-
4. Pick a model route that matches the direction — Seedream for anime, Wan for painterly, GPT-Image-2 for product-clean.
-
5. Generate three to four variations and pick the one that keeps the right details.
-
6. Chain another img2img pass for fine adjustments, or export the result for your project.

What this image to image generator is for
The AI Pin Maker image to image workflow takes an existing picture — a photo, sketch, screenshot, or earlier AI generation — and transforms it according to a text prompt while preserving the structure you care about. It is the workhorse behind restyling product shots, converting sketches to finished art, keeping a mascot consistent across a series, and iterating on a near-miss generation instead of starting over.
Model routes are tuned for different jobs: Seedream 4.5 for anime and stylized restyles, Wan 2.7 and Wan 2.7 Pro for painterly and atmospheric direction, Gemini 3 Pro for illustrative work, and GPT-Image-2 for product shots, logos, and clean flat output. The router keeps prompt syntax identical across routes, so you can switch models without rewriting your instruction.
Prompt patterns that work well
- Restyle: `same composition, watercolor illustration style, soft morning light`
- Keep identity: `same character and pose, change outfit to a winter coat, snowy street background`
- Sketch to final: `clean finished illustration of this sketch, bold linework, flat colors`
- Product variant: `same product, studio background, brighter lighting, top-down angle`
Output and handoff
Results export as PNG sized for web, print, or further editing. Image-to-image chains preserve your full history, so you can branch from any earlier step instead of regenerating from scratch. Source images are used only for the requested generation and then dropped.

Common questions
How is image to image different from text to image?
Text to image starts from a blank canvas and builds everything from the prompt. Image to image starts from your picture and transforms it — keeping composition, identity, or structure while changing style, lighting, or content as instructed.
What does the strength setting do?
Strength controls how much the model can deviate from your source. Around 0.3-0.5 keeps composition and identity intact for restyles; 0.7+ treats the source as loose inspiration and reinterprets freely.
Which model should I pick for restyling photos of people?
Start with Seedream 4.5 for stylized or anime directions and Gemini 3 Pro for illustrative portraits. Avoid pushing real-person photos into hyperreal directions — the platform rejects likeness misuse and identity-swap prompts.
Can I use the output commercially?
Yes, when your source image, prompt, and output respect the platform terms — including rights to the source image itself. The platform does not verify image ownership for you.
