How to Extract Style from Inspiration Images with Copilot
Extract style from inspiration images with Copilot and ToolRouter. Document brand visual styles for team-wide consistency.
Tool
Copilot is best for style extraction when the result needs to live in a brand guide, creative brief, or visual standards document — so the extracted style can be applied consistently across the entire team.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Image Style Extractor tool:
- Provide the reference image and describe where the extracted style will be documented.
- Run extract_style to get the style prompt.
- Format the extracted prompt as a labeled brand visual style entry with usage guidelines.
- Insert it into the brand guide or creative brief alongside the reference image.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Image Style Extractor tool
Use image-style-extractor to extract the visual style from our hero brand photography reference. Format the extracted prompt as a 'Photography Style Guide' entry: style name, full prompt, key visual characteristics, and when to use this style versus our other photography styles.
Tips
- Name the extracted style in the guide — 'Brand Hero Style' is easier to reference than a raw prompt string.
- Include usage guidance alongside the prompt — which content types use this style, which do not.
- Update the style guide when the brand photography direction evolves — extracted prompts can go stale as brand identity changes.
