Deepart.io: Make your crappy photos look amazing (or crappier)
23Deepart.io uses neural network cyber computers to hyper-rez 1s into 0s and basically takes a photo that you upload and redraws it in the style of another photo you upload.
A lot of people use it to combine their photo with Starry Night:
For example, here is my dog, asleep on his recliner:
And here is Art:
In honor of our recent 1 year anniversary, here is a photo of my wife and I at the exact moment that we realized we were cutting into the styrofoam layer of our wedding cake instead of the actual cake:
You can also use other pictures for your style, like grapes:
Or a map:
You can submit your own here. Be warned though, the queue is long and right now they are saying it will take 4+ hours for a submission to go through. That’s actually not terrible considering it was 90+ hours a couple weeks ago.

I did one from my wedding and love it!
Oh and don't bother getting clever and using the same picture for style and source, it just waits a few hours and gives you the same picture with a watermark. I was hoping for something cooler
@Moose What if you mirror-imaged the source?
@dave
Mirror:
Flipped:
Inverted:
I submitted one, but it'll take 370 minutes unless I want to pay 1.99 EU, which is probably like a hundred bucks, I'll just assume instead of looking it up and being tempted.
@dave At $15/hour, 370 minutes is $92.50
Meanwhile, 1.99eur is ~$2.27 today, though it used to be more.
A dog portrait, in the style of Malevich's White on White:
DEEPARTWORK 543645
Estimated waiting time: 373.0 minutes
@moose Styrofoam?! The cake IS a lie! So that's where that saying comes from.
@medz Yeah! My friend's telling me how much these cakes he's trying are going to cost, and they're not even real?! What a racket!
My backyard, in the style of Monet's Water Lillies:
@dave That's surprisingly beautiful. I could dig a poster of that.
I like this. Here are a couple of mine:
Our dogs done like Seurat's Sunday On The Island
And just Jingo done like The Kiss:
I too went the wedding photo route and came up with these little beauties:
I like the last two a lot and am actually considering taking the last one to have it blown up and framed.
@MEHcus They charge too much for larger images. :(
@MEHcus What was your style source for that last one? The Scream?
@Bingo sure looks like it. I love it so much!
@Bingo Nailed it.
@MEHcus middle one looks Giger-ish.
@MEHcus Source image for the first?
@juststephen
@walarney Yeah it does, here is the source image:
Did two from a photo shoot downtown. Here's one.
@juststephen that's rad.
@juststephen You ought to put through one of the ones you have taken of your cats (for those who have't seen them - the one he sent me was fantastic - cat at bathtub drinking water, water droplets were separate, could see the little barbs on the cat's tongue) and put up the original - there are enough cat lovers on here to appreciate that.
@Kidsandliz Put which through with the cat as a source? :)
@juststephen put it though this program with your cat photo as the original and whatever you want as the merging art style. Then post the original and the result of the program
@Kidsandliz
@juststephen what did you merge this with? It came out looking very interesting.
@Kidsandliz
@juststephen wow
Here's two, it was a silhouette photo..
Same couple.
A worms-eye view of the MD flag at night, in the style of Bosch's Ship of Fools:
…meh on that one.
I tried one that didn't turn out so good. Is there supposed to be an art style picker that I'm not seeing? Or is everybody having to find their own sample art?
@therealjrn hahaha
@therealjrn If you look at their latest images and see one you like, you can click "use this style"
@Moose Thanks!
@therealjrn is that master shake?
@thismyusername It was Woot's SquatchSquirt crossed with the Mona Lisa.
@therealjrn or just google image art styles or image art masterpieces, or whatever. Then drag and drop one you like.
Here's one of the aerial lift bridge in Duluth, MN.
Tempted to get the poster print for this one.
To get an "HD" image with no watermark it's 19 euros. I'd be willing to go that high for something really special, but I need to figure out if the 1300x1300 resolution is even big enough for, say, an 8"x10" print.
Then again, with a bunch of 500x500s in different styles, you could just slap them together and make a collage.
@darksaber99999 At a standard 300 DPI you're looking at ~4.3″2. At a rather middling 200 DPI, 6″2. Bottom of the barrel 150 DPI puts you at ~8.7″2.
@darksaber99999 From their info, it says "The 1.7 megapixel resolution is sufficient for small prints (around 30 × 30 cm) such as t-shirts, postcards, mugs, small posters and many others. You can use the image for private projects under a royalty-free license."
I'm guessing not so good for 8x10
Spiral staircase in the style of Escher's Drawing Hands:
Not sure how to feel about that.
(namely, every time I see this again, the phantom 'hand' in the middle of the staircase column freaks me the fuck out)
@brhfl Hmmm... I was planning on trying Escher. Maybe I'll stick with Monet or a Chinese or Japanese scroll.
@christinewas I'm sure it all depends. I tried to match each of my thingies somehow or another, so here I was thinking… cyclical, strong lines, b/w. But it just got weird. I think my dog above was the most successful of all my attempts, because my theme there was… difference. High key, mostly black, detailed image vs. low contrast, little detail, all white painting… The very notion of being 'in the style of' White on White made that one hysterical to me, and while the end result is not (and could never be) in that style, it's very interesting. Anyway, here's what led to the sad Escher…
A bunch of worms and Darth Vader
A bunch of worms and me
@Moose I don't like this.
@hollboll
+ 
= 
@Moose Now I want to see what it looks like when a bunch of worms are made out of you.
@dave, woah.
@dave Is that a threat
@dave Turns out you just get a garbled mess.
Spider-Worms is pretty neat though.
@Moose this is not pleasant.
@Moose Source image.
Beer on the beach
My cat morphed with Durer's The Hare.
@lordbowen nice!
Eh, I did one more. A big dinosaur skeleton playground toy in the style of van Gogh's
Cigarette Smoking ManSkull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette:One of my kitties
@medz lol very nice!
@medz here is my irk:
Macaroni and cheese doge
@operaticus
@operaticus I don't think I could photoshop that as well as it came out.
I used this picture of my mom from the Blueridge Parkway, and tried it with a few paintings I had liked on Pinterest:
@katylava Great idea! I like #1 and #4 the best.
Variations on a theme:
@juststephen what as the merge with this one? Almost looks asian.
@Kidsandliz Palm tree sunset photo I took a while ago downtown.
@juststephen this one is pretty interesting too
Disney World, as painted by Monet:
Interesting. If you have a quick enough computer and linux/mac, you can run the program on your own system, however it takes hours and uses tons of ram and such.
https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style
@juststephen define quick enough and tons of ram... I saw where they showed 500 or something iterations at just a min and a half or so... but then again they didn't say what they were using to run it...
I think they said for a 200x200 image, running it would take twelve to sixteen hours on a server with 256gig ram and the newest graphic cards and processor. Yeah. I didn't mistype. Deepart.io uses a conglomeration of servers all at once - so it's much quicker.
@juststephen I don't want to go find it right now, but that seems dramatically different from what I was reading on the GitHub.
Degas, of course.
I just registered for the site, but I have a question. On the site itself it says that it is possible to "Choose among predefined styles", but I do not see that options. It asks to upload my photo and then a style photo. I was assuming it would come up with options to choose between Van Gogh and other styles baked in.
@FletchNZ on their main page is a section called "Get some inspiration" - you can choose any of them as your style.
