StyleController

Staying True to the Origin: Continuous Image Stylization with Smooth Transitions

This Space demonstrates StyleController, a controllable image stylization framework built on Qwen-Image-Edit-2509. Given a content image and a style reference, it generates high-fidelity stylized images with explicit control over style strength via a slider.

How it works

1.Provide a content image (the image you want stylized).
2.Provide a style reference image (the visual style to transfer).
3.Adjust the style strength slider (0 = no style, 1 = full stylization).
4.Click Stylize to generate the output.

The model combines a full-strength LoRA adapter with lightweight projector anchors learned at discrete style strengths. B-spline interpolation between these anchors produces smooth, continuous transitions while preserving content structure.

Technical details

—Base model: Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit-2509
—Adapter: ReyChiaro/StyleController
—LoRA rank: 128, layers 0–59
—Projector type: low-rank linear
—Interpolation: B-spline (order 3, clamped knot vector)
—Inference: 16 steps, bf16, seed 42
