AI-Powered Image Generation
Generate Images with Structure Control
Create AI-generated images that follow the structure and composition of your reference image. You steer it with depth or with edges, and the content itself comes out entirely new.

What is Sketch to Photo (Keep Shape)?
Sketch to Photo (Keep Shape) is an AI tool in Pixelift that runs in the browser with no installation. Create AI-generated images that follow the structure and composition of your reference image. You steer it with depth or with edges, and the content itself comes out entirely new. Engine: FLUX Depth/Canny Pro. Cost: 3 credits per result; credits are bought once in packs from $8.99, no subscription, and they never expire. Files are processed on EU servers and never used to train models.
How It Works
- Step 1
Upload Reference
Upload an image with the structure you want to preserve.
- Step 2
Choose Control Type
Select depth, edge, pose, or other control method.
- Step 3
Describe Output
Write a prompt describing what you want to generate.
- Step 4
Generate & Download
AI creates your image following the structure.
Control Types
Depth Control
Preserve the 3D depth structure of your reference for realistic spatial relationships.
Edge/Canny Control
Follow the edges and outlines of your reference for precise shape matching.
Pose Control
Maintain body poses and positions from reference images for character generation.
Why Choose Structure Control
Precise Control
Guide AI generation with exact structural constraints from your reference images.
Creative Freedom
Generate entirely new content while respecting the composition you want.
Multiple Control Types
Choose from depth, edge, pose, segmentation, and more control methods.
Perfect For Creative Professionals
Concept Artists
Use rough sketches or photos as structure guides for polished concept art.
Product Design
Generate product variations while maintaining consistent shapes and layouts.
Architecture
Visualize buildings in different styles while preserving structural layouts.
Fashion Design
Generate outfit variations on the same pose for design exploration.
Technology: FLUX Depth Pro and FLUX Canny Pro
Structure Control uses FLUX Canny Pro and FLUX Depth Pro to add precise structural conditioning to AI image generation. Different control types extract different structural information - depth for 3D space, edges for outlines, poses for body positions.
- Depth map extracted from the reference image
- Edge detection with the Canny algorithm
- Two control modes: depth or edges
- Fixed, tuned generation settings — no sliders
What to Expect — Works Great For
- Clear reference images with defined structures
- Architectural and product imagery
- Pose-based character generation
Considerations
- Very complex scenes may not transfer perfectly
- Prompt quality significantly affects output
- Some control types work better for certain subjects
Tips for Best Results
- Use depth control for scenes with clear foreground/background separation.
- Edge control works best with images that have clear outlines.
- Pose control is ideal for character and figure generation.
- Write detailed prompts that match your structural reference.
- Adjust control strength to balance structure and creativity.
- Experiment with different control types for the same reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is structure control?
It's a way to guide AI image generation using structural information (depth, edges, poses) from a reference image.
Which control type should I use?
Depth for 3D scenes, edge for shapes and outlines, pose for characters. Experiment to find what works best.
Can I use any image as a reference?
Yes, any image can be analyzed for its structure. Clearer images with defined elements work best.
How is this different from style transfer?
Style transfer changes appearance while keeping content. Structure control generates new content while keeping structure.
What resolution are outputs?
Outputs are generated at up to 1024x1024 or matching aspect ratio for high-quality results.
