IP-Adapters let you supply a reference image that the model uses as style, tone, or visual influence while still responding to your text prompt. They work alongside your prompts, ControlNets, and Step Schedules to give the AI a stronger sense of artistic direction.

​
How It Works

Instead of relying solely on text to describe both the style and the subject, you can split the work:
  • Text prompt → defines the overall aesthetic
  • IP-Adapter image → provides the visual identity or style
IP Adapters

​
Example

  • Text Prompt: “Low Polygon Render” (defines the base style)
  • IP-Adapter Image: A photo of a mystical galaxy (defines color composition, line work, small details)
This combination produces outputs that maintain the style you want while carrying the personality of the reference image.

​
Usage

Set the IP Adapter in your stream parameters: 
{
  "pipeline": "streamdiffusion",

    "prompt": "low polygon render",
    "ip_adapter": {
      "enabled": true,
      "scale": 0.5
    },
    "ip_adapter_style_image_url": "https://example.com/style-image.png"
  }
}
