A repeatable edit starts with a clear brief

A reference image guides the result; the selected model still determines how it interprets your prompt.

1

Choose a starting point

Upload a reference image for image-to-image, or switch to text-to-image for a new scene.

2

Write the edit brief

Describe what should change and which details the model should try to keep.

3

Set the output

Choose a model and the controls it supports, such as aspect ratio, quality, or format.

4

Review the version

Open the generated image, then adjust the prompt or settings for another pass.

Start with a specific kind of edit

These prompt-led starting points frame the request; the selected model determines the final result.

Restyle a photo

Ask for a new color palette, medium, or mood while using your image as the visual reference.

Adjust the subject or scene

Name the detail to change and keep the rest of the brief explicit; outcomes vary by model.

Remove a background or object

Use the editor task shortcut to frame the request, then inspect edges and details in the result.

Extend the frame

Choose a wider or taller ratio where available, and describe what should continue beyond the crop.

Enhance a photo

Request changes to clarity, lighting, or noise; behavior depends on the selected model.

Try a preset look

Open Photo Effects for curated starting points such as age, curls, PS2, cartoon-to-realistic, and chibi.

Image editing with Img2Img: common questions

Questions about reference-led image editing? Contact us by email.

What does image-to-image editing do?

It uses an uploaded image as a visual starting point and your prompt to guide the requested changes. You can also switch to text-to-image when you want a new scene.

Will it preserve a face, product, or composition exactly?

There is no exact-preservation guarantee. The reference image guides generation, but each model can change details. Inspect results before publishing.

Which model settings can I choose?

Available models and controls vary. The generator shows options supported by the selected model, such as aspect ratio, quality, resolution, or format.

What image files can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported. Per-model image counts and file-size limits can be lower than the general upload limit.

Can I use generated images commercially?

Commercial use depends on the model provider, your plan, and the rights to the source image. Check the applicable terms before using an output in client or commercial work.
