What is img2img?
Shorthand for image-to-image generation. Transforms an input image based on a text prompt while preserving the overall structure and composition.
How it works
img2img is the common shorthand for image-to-image AI generation, where you provide both an input image and a text prompt. The denoising strength parameter controls how much the output can deviate from the input. Low denoising produces subtle modifications (color changes, texture adjustments). High denoising produces dramatic transformations while maintaining the general composition. img2img is widely used for style transfer, concept iteration, and product visualization. In video production workflows, img2img is often the step between concept and video: you generate or select a reference image, refine it with img2img, then animate the result with image-to-video.
