# 🎭 StyleID — Does AI Preserve Your Face?

Upload a **real photo** and a **stylized portrait** (anime, cartoon, painting, sketch, etc.) — StyleID tells you if the identity is preserved.

## How it works

StyleID uses a fine-tuned CLIP ViT-L/14 encoder calibrated against human psychometric experiments. Unlike standard face recognition (ArcFace, AdaFace), it's specifically designed for **cross-style** identity matching.
