Use Photo Styles
Transform owned photos, save reusable styles, and insert, download, or schedule each result.
Use Photo Styles when you want to restyle an existing photograph without writing the full visual prompt yourself.
Each style page shows the original example beside the transformed result. The selected style keeps the same visual recipe for every photo, while your optional direction can call out details that should remain recognizable.
Apply a style
- Open the Photo Styles library.
- Compare the before-and-after examples and choose a style.
- Select Choose your photos, then upload images or pick them from your media library.
- Optionally describe something to preserve, such as a clothing color or sign.
- Choose your Brand Kit's colors, or pick colors yourself, when the selected style supports palette controls.
- Select Create styled image or Create styled images.
- Review each result, then download it or choose Schedule on LinkedIn to open the New post page with the image attached.
The currently published style accepts up to six photographs in one batch. SlideDrift processes them separately: one source photo creates one styled result, never a collage. Each result is charged separately and saved automatically.
Photo Styles are available on paid plans and cost 80 credits per source photo. The generation button shows the total for the photos that still need results before you run the batch.
Save styles for later
Signed-in users can select Save on a Photo Style page. Saved Photo Styles appear with saved public templates and favorite graphics under Saved in Library.
Open Saved designs when you want to return to a design without searching the public galleries again. Select the same Saved button on a Photo Style or template page to remove it from your library.
Public Photo Style pages can also show view, save, and use signals. Treat these as discovery cues rather than a guarantee that a style fits your source photo.
Choose good source photos
- Use an image you own or have permission to transform.
- Start with a clear subject and enough surrounding space for the selected treatment.
- Review the style's Keeps and Simplifies lists before generating.
- Use the optional direction for a specific detail that matters; the style recipe itself stays fixed.
- Avoid uploading private, sensitive, or confidential images.
Work with the results
Use the photo thumbnails to switch between sources and results when you process a batch. A failed photo can show its own error without merging it with the other outputs.
Choose Download for the selected result. Choose Schedule on LinkedIn to make it a single-image post: the New post page opens with the image attached, ready for your text and time.
You can also apply a Photo Style while editing a carousel:
- Open Media in the editor's left toolbar, choose Generate, then Restyle an image.
- Pick a style.
- Choose one of your saved images, or select Upload to add a photo.
- Optionally say what the style should preserve.
- Select Apply Photo Style · 80 credits.
- When the result is ready, choose Insert into slide.
A style that needs brand colors links to its full Photo Style page instead, where you choose the colors first.
