StyleController is a controllable image-stylization adapter collection. Given a content image, a style reference, a text instruction, and a scalar strength, it generates stylized images while providing continuous control over the amount of transferred style.

This repository contains model weights only. Inference and training code are maintained in the [StyleController GitHub repository](https://github.com/ReyChiaro/StyleController).

## Available models

## Download

Install the Hugging Face CLI and download the current variant:

```bash
pip install -U huggingface_hub

hf download ReyChiaro/StyleController \
  --include "qwenimage_edit_2509/*" \
  --local-dir hf_weights
```

## Inference

Clone and install the implementation:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ReyChiaro/StyleController.git
cd StyleController
uv sync
```

Run Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 inference at strength `0.55`:

```bash
uv run python infer_styctrl.py \
  --model qwen \
  --pretrained-pipeline Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit-2509 \
  --content examples/content.jpg \
  --style examples/style.jpg \
  --prompt "Transfer the style of image 2 to image 1 while preserving the content structure." \
  --strength 0.55 \
  --output outputs/result_055.png \
