Frequently Asked Questions

AI Image Inpainting FAQs

Everything you need to know about selective photo editing with AI—from techniques to expected results.

What exactly is AI Image Inpainting?

How do I select the area I want to edit?

Use the brush tool in the editor to paint over the region you want to change. The brush is easy to control—you can undo/redo strokes and adjust brush size. Only the painted area is affected by the AI generation.

Will my edits affect the rest of the photo?

No. Only the area you select with the brush is edited. Everything outside your selection—background, subjects, surrounding details—stays exactly as it is in the original photo.

What can I remove or replace with inpainting?

Almost anything. You can remove unwanted objects, people, clutter, or distractions. You can replace props, swap furniture, fix clothing, change background sections, or retouch skin blemishes. Write a prompt describing what should be there instead.

How specific should my prompt be?

The more specific your prompt, the better your results. Instead of 'blue background,' try 'clear blue sky with white clouds.' Instead of 'remove person,' try 'grass and garden.' More detail helps AI understand exactly what you want.

What file types and sizes does inpainting support?

AI Image Inpainting accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF files up to 8MB. All formats produce high-quality full-resolution downloads.

Is AI Image Inpainting free to use?

New accounts get 15 free signup credits. Each edit/generation uses one credit. You can upgrade to additional credit packs anytime on the pricing page.

How long does it take to inpaint a region?

Most edits complete in 5-30 seconds depending on image size and server load. You can see a preview before downloading, and regenerate if you want to try different prompts.

Can I undo or regenerate my edits?

Yes. You can regenerate the same selected area with a different prompt, or undo edits and try again. There's no limit to how many times you can refine your result.

Are there content restrictions on prompts?

Yes. All prompts are screened before generation. Prohibited content is blocked per the Acceptable Use Policy to ensure safe, responsible use of the tool.
