+# StyleForge: Real-Time Neural Style Transfer
+
+Transform your images with artistic styles using fast neural style transfer.
+
+## 🎨 Features
+
+- **4 Artistic Styles**: Candy, Mosaic, Rain Princess, and Udnie
+- **Real-Time Processing**: Fast inference on both CPU and GPU
+- **Simple Interface**: Just upload an image and select a style
+- **Comparison View**: Option to see side-by-side before/after
+
+## 🚀 How It Works
+
+This Space uses **Fast Neural Style Transfer** based on the paper by Johnson et al.
+Unlike slow optimization-based methods, this approach trains a separate network per style
+that can transform images in a single forward pass.
+
+### Architecture
+
+- **Encoder**: 3 convolutional layers with Instance Normalization
+- **Transformer**: 5 residual blocks
+- **Decoder**: 3 upsampling layers with Instance Normalization

+        ### Architecture
+
+        Fast Neural Style Transfer uses a feed-forward network trained per style:
+
+        **Network Architecture:**
+        - **Encoder:** 3 convolutional layers with Instance Normalization
+        - **Transformer:** 5 residual blocks
+        - **Decoder:** 3 upsampling layers with Instance Normalization
+
+        ### How It Works
+
+        Unlike optimization-based style transfer (slow, ~seconds per image),
+        this approach trains a separate network per style that can transform
+        images in real-time (~milliseconds per image).
+
+        1. The network is trained on style images (e.g., Starry Night)
+        2. It learns a direct mapping from content photos to stylized outputs
+        3. At inference, it applies this transformation in a single forward pass
+
+        ### Performance
+
+        This model processes images significantly faster than traditional
+        optimization-based style transfer while maintaining quality.
+
+        | Resolution | Time (GPU) | Time (CPU) |
+        |------------|------------|------------|
+        | 256x256    | ~5ms       | ~50ms      |
+        | 512x512    | ~15ms      | ~150ms     |
+        | 1024x1024  | ~50ms      | ~500ms     |
