Style transfer is an inventive process designed to create an image that maintains the essence of the original while embracing the visual style of another. Although diffusion models have demonstrated impressive generative power in personalized subject-driven or style-driven applications, existing state-of-the-art methods still encounter difficulties in achieving a seamless balance between content preservation and style enhancement. For example, amplifying the style's influence can often undermine the structural integrity of the content. To address these challenges, we deconstruct the style transfer task into three core elements: 1) Style, focusing on the image's aesthetic characteristics; 2) Spatial Structure, concerning the geometric arrangement and composition of visual elements; and 3) Semantic Content, which captures the conceptual meaning of the image. Guided by these principles, we introduce InstantStyle-Plus, an approach that prioritizes the integrity of the original content while seamlessly integrating the target style. Specifically, our method accomplishes style injection through an efficient, lightweight process, utilizing the cutting-edge InstantStyle framework. To reinforce the content preservation, we initiate the process with an inverted content latent noise and a versatile plug-and-play tile ControlNet for preserving the original image's intrinsic layout. We also incorporate a global semantic adapter to enhance the semantic content's fidelity. To safeguard against the dilution of style information, a style extractor is employed as discriminator for providing supplementary style guidance. Codes will be available at https://github.com/instantX-research/InstantStyle-Plus.

    cs.CV 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NSD uses a contrastively learned style embedding from the input image itself, fed through a second cross-attention branch, to make diffusion-based inpainting results match the surrounding scene's style.

  3. AIComposer: Any Style and Content Image Composition via Feature Integration

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nearly training-free SDXL pipeline composes foreground content with background style using a small MLP that merges CLIP image features, removing the need for text prompts.

  4. Domain Generalizable Portrait Style Transfer

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10
