Turn everyday photos into optical illusions and surreal AI art
Upload any photo or choose a pattern and let AI algorithms rebuild it as an optical illusion, from subtle texture shifts to dramatic surrealist effects.
A dedicated slider controls how intensely the transformation is applied, so you can keep the original photo recognisable or push it into pure abstraction.
Expose guidance scale, ControlNet settings, upscaling strength and seed values for precise, repeatable results.
Apply built-in patterns in addition to your text prompt to create classic contour, typographic and other illusion styles.

The AI lab behind some of the most striking text-to-image and video models
Describe a scene in natural language and receive a set of distinct image interpretations, with a house style known for cinematic lighting and painterly detail.
Rework an existing generation with variations, remixes, inpainting-style region edits, style references, and character or style consistency controls.
An evolving video model line extends the same aesthetic approach from still images to short animated clips driven by prompts and image inputs.
Generate from the browser-based app, or take part in the long-standing Discord server for sharing, feedback, announcements, and support.
