OneDrive gets injected with another AI feature

Microsoft adds AI Restyle to OneDrive Photos, letting users transform images into anime, sketches, and more, rolling out on mobile and web.

Over the past few months, Microsoft has been injecting AI features into OneDrive, because the company believes that it is more than just a simple cloud storage solution. To that end, OneDrive received Photos Agent, new Copilot integrations for enterprise customers, and the ability to embed AI agents in the platform. Now, Microsoft has revealed yet another AI capability for the popular cloud storage service.

This new feature is called AI Restyle and it is geared towards the OneDrive Photos experience. You can probably guess what it does based on its name alone. It basically allows you to "reimagine" your real photos in different styles through the power of AI. You'll be able to transform regular photos into various art styles such as anime, pencil sketches, caricature, plush toys, cinema posters, and more.

The idea behind this capability is to have all your real photos and AI creations in the same place, allowing for easy access and further modification. Microsoft emphasizes that all your content will still be "unmistakably yours", just restyled.

Microsoft has highlighted several functionalities of AI Restyle, such as the instant creation of new images based on styles that are added regularly, the ability to personalize photos through optional prompts, and the option to experiment with various styles quickly. You can also share your restyled content across different apps with ease.

AI Restyle has now begun rolling out for OneDrive customers on Android, iOS, and the web. However, do keep in mind that it requires a Microsoft 365 Premium subscription, which is essentially an upgrade for Microsoft 365 Family that costs an eye-watering $199.99/year. That said, AI Restyle will only get better from here as the Redmond tech giant is pondering over bringing it to more platforms, while also unlocking more editing styles for customers to play around with.
