Eh.. in this particular case it really makes sense to do it server-side. A beefy core i7 can take a couple of hours to do the style transfer and you ideally want a farm of GPUs to handle the client requests. Doing it client-side on the phone would absolutely drain your entire battery and take half a day or more.

They are probably using a newer approach, where they pre-train a neural network and use forward propagation only. With this technique, applying the effect can take less than one second. See https://github.com/DmitryUlyanov/texture_nets for more details. You can also try it here: http://turbo.deepart.io/
