Get the most out of encore.
From the photo you upload to looks you share with a friend or stylist — here’s how to get a great result every time, whether you’re trying one outfit or wiring up the API for thousands.
Getting started
Encore turns a full-body photo of you into a photoreal restyle in a new fashion style — in seconds, same you, brand-new outfit. Every new account gets a free credit, so you can try your first look before spending anything. The loop is always the same: upload → pick a style → restyle, then refine, save and share.

Photographing yourself
The restyle is only as good as the photo. A few habits make a big difference:
- Shoot full-body, head to toe, standing straight-on — it gives the model your true proportions and pose.
- Use good, even light — natural daylight is best; avoid harsh single-lamp shadows.
- Stand against a plain background so the model reads your silhouette cleanly.
- One person per photo, in frame from top to bottom — don't crop the feet or head.
Styles
Pick one of eight styles — from quiet-luxury tailoring to bold festival layers. Each one re-dresses you head to toe while keeping your face, body and pose:
Streetwear
Oversized, hyped, urban
Old Money
Quiet luxury, tailored, timeless
Y2K
Low-rise, shine, early-2000s
Formalwear
Sharp suiting, evening-ready
Cottagecore
Prairie dresses, soft florals
Athleisure
Sporty, sleek, comfortable
Minimalist
Neutral, clean lines, capsule
Festival
Bold, layered, statement
Every restyle keeps the real you and reimagines the outfit.
Refining a look
Love it but want a tweak? Use Refine with a plain-English instruction — “add a leather jacket”, “swap in white trainers”, “more of a scarf” — and encore edits the look while keeping the rest. Or run several variations at once and compare with the before/after toggle.
Lookbooks & sharing
File looks into Lookbooks — one per occasion, capsule or wardrobe project — from your dashboard, so a whole styling session stays together. Hit Share on any look to get a private link anyone can open (no account needed) — perfect for a second opinion from a friend or stylist.

Find your look
Not sure where to begin? The Find your look quiz on your dashboard asks three quick questions and points you at the style that fits — a good first move if open-ended choice feels like a lot.
The API
Everything the studio does is available programmatically. Create a key on the developers page, then POST a photo and a style to /api/makeover/generate. Each successful restyle spends one credit — the same balance the app uses.
curl -X POST https://encore-soultosoul.vercel.app/api/makeover/generate \
-H "Authorization: Bearer enc_live_…" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"image":"https://cdn/me.jpg","styleId":"oldmoney"}'Credits & bulk
One restyle = one credit, and credits never expire. Buy a pack, or set a custom amount up to €20,000 in a single top-up — the more you buy, the better the per-credit rate. Bulk balances suit teams and API integrations restyling at volume.
Top up credits →Troubleshooting
- It changed my face or body.
- Re-shoot straight-on, full-body, in good light — the model keeps your identity and pose best when it can see all of you clearly.
- It doesn't look like me.
- Avoid dark, cropped or busy photos. One well-lit, full-body photo against a plain background works best.
- Was I charged for a failed restyle?
- No — a failed restyle is automatically refunded, in the app and over the API.
- Do credits expire?
- Never. Buy what you like, use it whenever.
