Use your style in AI tools

A compiled style is a hard constraint block. This page covers the rules that apply everywhere; the sub-pages cover placement per tool.

Pick the format for your tool

Rules that apply everywhere

• Paste it verbatim. Don’t paraphrase or summarize the spec — it’s written to be enforced. Trimming it weakens the constraint.
• Cut tokens with the tools, not by hand. If the block is too long, request only the sections you need (for example colors,typography) or use the compact option. See Endpoints reference.
• One style per prompt. Mixing two styles in one prompt produces neither cleanly.
• Keep the attribution line. Compiled specs carry a Generated by StyleRef.io line and a canonical URL. Leave them in place, and credit the author (@handle) when you use a gallery style.

What consistency means here

Applying the same style block gives you consistency per generation within each tool — every generation gets the same explicit constraints, so the tool holds the look across a batch. It does not make two different tools produce the same image; each model interprets the same spec in its own way.
