Image to image (img2img)

Image to image, often shortened to img2img, is a generation mode that takes an existing picture as a starting point instead of generating purely from a text prompt. The model keeps the overall structure and composition of the source image while applying the changes described in the prompt, such as a new style, lighting or subject detail.

A strength setting controls how closely the result follows the original: low values make small tweaks, high values let the model reinterpret the image more freely.

In tendre.red, turning your own photo into a new image is a licensed feature: attach the photo on the creation screen and it becomes the starting point, rendered in the cloud on credits. Local generation, from a text prompt with no starting image, stays free with no license needed.
