ChatGPT Image Editor

Upload a picture and say what should be different. The part you named changes; everything else — the face, the clothing, the pose — stays exactly as it was.

Six edits, each one a single sentence

Every pair below is one of our library pictures on the left and the same picture after one instruction on the right. All output is AI-generated, so your result varies with your photo and your wording — these show the shape of the change, not a fixed one.

Editing is not generating

A generator starts from nothing and invents everything. An editor starts from your picture and is supposed to change one thing. The difference shows up in what stays the same, which is why the examples below are pairs rather than single frames.

What it does

When you move someone from hard midday sun to a window-lit room, the light on them has to change too. That inference is the work — see the prompt library for wording that gets it right.

Run the same subject through several settings and they still read as the same person, which is what makes a set usable.

What one edit involves

Upload a picture, write one sentence naming what changes and what must not, and the credit estimate updates before you run it.

1 sentence
Instruction
20 credits
A 1K pass
Refunded
Failed runs

You keep the subject

The person, product or scene you photographed remains recognisably itself. Nothing is re-cast.

You change the setting

Background, lighting direction, time of day, surroundings — the parts that are context rather than content.

How it works

Four steps, about a minute

No tools to learn, because there are no tools.

01

Upload the picture

Drag it in, or paste a URL. Any common format.

02

Say what should change

One sentence. Name what changes and what must not.

03

Generate

The credit cost shows first. A 1K pass is 20 credits.

04

Iterate or keep

Change one clause and run again, or re-run the keeper at a higher resolution.

Where it earns its keep

What people actually use it for

The jobs where describing beats selecting.

01

Reshoot without a reshoot

Move a product or a person into a different setting when booking the location again is not an option.

02

One subject, many contexts

A campaign needs the same face in six places. Editing keeps them the same person; generating six times does not.

03

Fix what the camera got wrong

A distracting background, the wrong time of day, a colour that fights the brand.

04

Try before committing

Draft the idea at 1K, and only re-run it large once the direction is settled.

05

Localising a campaign

One shoot, then the same subject relocated into settings that read correctly in each market — without flying anyone anywhere.

06

Seasonal refresh

Last spring's product photography moved into autumn light, so the catalogue does not have to be reshot for a change of season.

Questions about editing by description

No. The editor runs OpenAI's and Google's image models directly, and your first edits need no account here either.

It is not supposed to, and holding identity across an edit is exactly what the pairs above are demonstrating. Name what must stay the same in your sentence and it holds far more reliably.

Yes, but you will get a more predictable result changing one thing per pass. Two instructions in one sentence is where results start drifting.

Twenty credits at 1K, forty at 2K, eighty at 4K — shown before you run it, and refunded if the run fails.

That has its own page — the background remover returns a transparent PNG rather than a new scene.

Run the result through the image upscaler afterwards. Edit first, enlarge second.

A selection tool asks you to trace the boundary of the thing you want to change, which is slow on hair and impossible on soft edges like smoke or fur. Describing skips the boundary entirely: you name the region in words and the model works out where it is. The trade is control — a mask does exactly what you drew, and a sentence does what it understood — which is why naming what must NOT change matters as much as naming what should.

As many as you like, but each pass works from the previous result rather than from your original, so small errors compound. Three or four passes is where most people start seeing drift in a face. If you need a big change, it is usually cheaper and cleaner to write one instruction that covers it than to arrive there in five steps.

Anything where the instruction does not match the content. An edit prompt that names pose and expression will confuse a model given a product shot, because a bottle has neither — we measured that directly while building the examples on this page, and it produced reinterpretations rather than relocations. Match the wording to what is actually in the frame.

No. Every run is a fresh generation, so two identical instructions give two similar but not identical results. That is worth knowing before you build a workflow around it: if you need one exact file, keep the one you liked rather than expecting to reproduce it.
