What are styles?
Styles are like artistic filters that shape the look of your AI-generated image or video. Think of them as your creative shortcut. You bring the idea, and the style helps keep everything looking polished and consistent.
Every great image or video starts with a vision, and the right style brings that vision to life. With 20 expertly curated styles, you have the power to shape the look and feel of your AI-generated images and videos. Whether you want something bold and cinematic, soft and dreamy, hyper-realistic, or artistically abstract, there’s a style for every creative idea.
The Artlist team carefully curated these styles after extensive research so that they truly work for video creators. We collaborated with filmmakers, content creators, and AI experts to refine each one, making sure it delivers high-quality, visually compelling results. Every style is thoughtfully chosen to give you the best creative options so you can bring your ideas to life effortlessly.

When you open the AI video generator you’ll find the default style on the left of your text prompt box, but there are another nineteen to choose from which we’ll explore below in detail.
