How Does the Photo to Painting App Work?
NightCafe has multiple different AI algorithms that will help you turn your favorite picture into a painting. The original algorithm that turns a photo into a painting is called Style Transfer, which works by uploading a "input" image (e.g. a photo of your dog) and a "style" image (e.g. a Van Gogh painting) and then re-creating the input image in your chosen paint style.
Our other algorithms are "text to image" algorithms, where you can enter a text prompt and the AI will generate an image for you. Most of these text-to-image algorithms also allow you to start with a picture, however, the end result may deviate a lot from your photo. For beginners who want their image transformed into a painting, we recommend starting with Style Transfer to create your painting.
