The complete guide

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.

A restyled look

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.

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.
