SDXL Image to Image
SDXL Image to Image on Pixio transforms an existing image with a text prompt: change style, content, or mood using SDXL. Use it when you have a source image and want guided transformation with Stable Diffusion XL quality.
Use this when
- You have a source image and want prompt-driven transformation (style, content, or mood) with SDXL quality.
- You need image-to-image (e.g. sketch to render, day to night) with good resolution and coherence.
- You prefer Stable Diffusion XL for img2img and do not need mask-based edit (use SDXL Inpainting for that).
- You are iterating on an existing asset with clear verbal instructions.
- You want reliable transformation with good structure preservation when strength is tuned.

Prompt structure
[What to change or add] + [Style/mood] + [Lighting]. Describe the desired result (e.g. "convert to oil painting", "make it nighttime"). The input defines the start; the prompt drives the transformation.
Example prompts
"Transform this scene into a rainy night with neon signs. Cinematic, moody. Keep the same composition."
"Same character and pose, cyberpunk city. Blue and purple lighting. Detailed."
