How to edit a photo with AI
Use text instructions to adjust a photo, product image, portrait, or generated frame while preserving what matters.
AI photo editing is strongest when the instruction says both what to change and what must not change.
Use editing when the source image is already close to the goal. Ask for a specific change: background, light, style, cleanup, crop, or product presentation.
Avoid asking for too many changes at once. Smaller edits are easier to evaluate and repeat.

A stronger edit prompt
Weak: make this photo better.
Stronger: keep the product shape, logo, and packaging unchanged. Replace the background with a clean light studio setup, add a soft shadow, and prepare the image for a product card.
