Make sure to check [Requirements](#requirements) and [Usage](#usage). ### Why use this in 2023 ? Because Style Transfer hasn't changed drastically in terms of actual results in the past years. I personally find a certain beauty in inputting a style and content image rather than a well curated prompt with a dozen of switches. Consider this repo as a quick and simple ***just works*** solution that can run on both CPU and GPU effectively. -I developed this tool as a means to obtain fancy images and visuals for me and my friends.

Feel free to open an issue in the **Issues** tab and discuss the possible changes there.
