Short answer
Describe the visual treatment you want to reuse, or provide a reference image that shows it. Create the style in Peelaway, inspect its preview and description, then use it with a photo, an idea, or both. Test more than one subject before relying on the style for a series. Reuse carries a direction forward, not a guarantee of identical results.
Start with a clear direction
- 01Describe the reusable treatment, not one scene.
- 02Use a reference that clearly shows that treatment.
- 03Test different subjects before making a series.
Define the look you want to reuse
- 1
Separate style from subject
A reusable direction might describe layered cut paper, visible fibers, a restrained palette, and broad silhouettes. A single scene might describe a rabbit sitting under a tree. Keep the recurring visual rules in the style and provide the subject when you create each image. This makes the look useful beyond its first example.

Choose a useful reference
Use an image you are authorized to provide and that clearly demonstrates the material, palette, shapes, or light you want. Describe which qualities matter instead of asking to copy every detail. A reference with a confusing mixture of treatments may make it harder to create a style that reads consistently.

Create and inspect the style
Open the style creation flow, describe the look or attach a reference, and follow the displayed creation action. Review the resulting style and its preview before using it for an image. Read the actual credit cost and visibility settings in the interface rather than assuming style creation and image creation have identical terms.
Try the style with different subjects
Start with one simple idea whose structure is easy to judge. Then try a different kind of subject: an object after a portrait, or an outdoor scene after an interior. Look for the recurring qualities you intended, such as paper texture, a limited palette, or soft cinematic light. Inspect the subject itself as well as the treatment.
A style can look convincing on one sample while losing important details on another. Small lettering, thin edges, multiple faces, reflective materials, and complex patterns are useful places to look for failures. These checks help you decide where the style is useful; they are not a claim that a few samples establish universal reliability.
Reuse a direction without freezing every image
Select the saved style for your next creation and describe the new subject or attach a new photo. Keep recurring choices stable when they serve the series, but allow framing and scene details to suit each image. A portrait and a wide landscape need different compositions even when they share one visual language.
Keep the outputs that work and note where the style needs a different source or a clearer instruction. If your project depends on exact identity, product construction, or text, compare those details in every result. A saved style is a convenient starting point for repeated work, while approval remains an image-by-image decision.

Quick answers
Can I create a style without a reference image?
Yes. You can describe the look you want in words. Name observable qualities such as medium, lighting, palette, edge treatment, and level of detail. Avoid relying only on a vague adjective when a concrete description would make the reusable direction easier to understand.
Will a style preserve a character or product exactly?
No. Reusing a style does not guarantee identical identity, product details, or pixels. A style describes appearance and treatment. Use suitable reference inputs and inspect the resulting details when a specific person, object, or real product needs to remain recognizable.
Where do I use a saved style?
Your styles are available through the style collection and the creation flow. Choose the look, then supply the photo, prompt, or combined input for the next image. Confirm the selected style and other settings before creating, particularly when switching between different projects.
