The Glaze Project offers a free downloadable app called Glaze that uses machine learning to apply invisible pixel-level changes to artworks, causing AI image-generation models to misread an artist's style and fail to mimic it accurately. Artists apply Glaze to their images before posting them online, as a defensive measure against unauthorized style copying by systems like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

Glaze works by using style-transfer algorithms to identify the specific pixel features that define an artist's style, then computing minimal perturbations to those features that are imperceptible to the human eye but appear as a dramatically different style to AI models. The tool runs locally on the artist's computer (Windows and Mac), processes images one at a time, and produces a 'cloaked' image file the artist can post publicly. It was first released in March 2023 and has been downloaded more than 8.5 million times globally as of the project's most recent disclosure.
