Python Image Stylist with OpenAI API

I’m looking for a Python developer to build a script that transforms input images into a different visual style (e.g. Studio Ghibli, Lego, The Simpsons, Muppets, etc.) using the OpenAI API only.

? Requirements:
The script must take the following as input:

An image file (e.g. dog.png)

A target style prompt (e.g. "Ghibli style", "Lego style", "Muppets style")

It must use OpenAI’s image editing endpoint (images.edit I thiknk) to generate a new version of the image in the desired style.

The script should:

Allow passing the prompt dynamically (e.g. "Transform this image into [STYLE] style")

Save both the output image and the intermediate mask

Use OpenAI’s official Python SDK (openai>=1.0)

Include proper logging to help debug inputs, API calls, and outputs

✅ Deliverables:
A Python script runnable from the command line like:

python convert_style.py --image dog.png --style "Studio Ghibli style"
Generates: dog_ghibli.png (styled image)

required: .env file support for loading OpenAI API key

? Goal:
To take any photo and stylize it in a specific aesthetic (defined via prompt) using OpenAI’s image editing tools.
