AI Image Editor: step-by-step guide

Edit an existing image using a written instruction: replace an object, change clothing or scenery, or adjust the visual style.

Edit an existing image using a written instruction: replace an object, change clothing or scenery, or adjust the visual style.

Get the right result: check these first

  • Edit the actual source. Put the original in Add image to edit and the requested change in Describe the change you want. References are additional guidance, not a substitute for attaching the image being edited.

  • New picture versus edit. Use AI Image Generator when you want a new picture from text. Use AI Clothes Changer when the task is replacing clothing using a garment image.

  • Verify the parts that must stay. Compare the edited area and any face, text, or logo you need to preserve. Keep both versions if an edit changes the wrong part.

Step by step

  1. Open the editor and sign in. Select Add image to edit and upload the original image.

  2. In Describe the change you want, identify the object or person and explain the change. Say what to keep.

  3. Use References if you need additional visual guidance. Available reference types depend on the selected model.

  4. Choose the model, output shape, resolution, and quantity from the controls available to you.

  5. Review the credit estimate and generate the edit. Compare the completed image with the original before downloading.

Write an edit that is easy to follow

Example: “Change the blue jacket on the person at left to a black sweater. Keep both faces, the other person, and the background unchanged.” Start with one main change. A reference guides the result but does not guarantee an exact copy.

The wrong person or area changed

Identify the target by position and a visible feature. Remove contradictory instructions and use a clearer source image. For a straightforward clothing replacement on one person, AI Clothes Changer may be easier.

Keep important details

Inspect faces, hands, logos, and any text before using the result. Generative editing can alter nearby details even when you ask to preserve them. If the exact original image matters, check that it remains attached as the image being edited.
