What you can change

Edit photos by describing the change

Every example is a real photo and the real result, made with the prompt shown under it. Nothing was retouched after. Drag the handle to compare.

People

Change clothes, hair and light in a portrait

Ask for a navy blazer instead of a grey t-shirt and you get the same woman, on the same street, in the same pose, wearing a blazer. The editor changes only what the prompt names. Say what should stay the same, such as the face, the hair or the background, and it is kept more strictly.

The face, the bag strap and every shop front behind her were kept.Prompt “Change her grey t-shirt to a tailored navy blazer over a white silk top. Keep her face, hair, pose and the street exactly the same.”Nano Banana 2.1 · 4 credits

Products

Put a product in a new scene

Start from a plain packshot and describe the set you want, like a marble podium, eucalyptus and soft sunlight. The bottle keeps its shape, cap and glass, and the new scene gets matching shadows. It is a quick way to make lifestyle images for a store, an ad or a launch post without a photo shoot.

Rooms

Furnish an empty room

Name a style and a few pieces of furniture, and an empty room is staged in one run. The walls, the window, the floor and the camera angle stay where they were, so the photo still shows the real room. Then ask for a different sofa or an evening view in the next round.

The radiator, the light fitting and the view out of the window were kept.Prompt “Furnish this empty living room in Scandinavian style: a light grey sofa, an oak coffee table, a wool rug, a floor lamp and a few plants.

Travel

Remove tourists and fix the sky

Ask for the people to go and the square is rebuilt behind them, with the paving, the fountain and the shadows lined up. The same works for a grey sky, a car in the drive or a sign you do not want. To remove one small object you can point at, the brush in Remove Object is more precise.

This edit took 83 seconds, longer than most, because so much had to be rebuilt.Prompt “Remove all the tourists. Keep the fountain, buildings and lighting unchanged.”Nano Banana 2.1 · 4 credits

Text

Change the text on a label or sign

Put the old words and the new words in quotes, and the label is rewritten in the same font, weight and layout. In our tests all three models got a short title right, and Standard also rewrote a line of small print correctly. Check every letter before you print or publish.

Only the two words changed. The small print under them is untouched.Prompt “Change the label text from "MORNING ROAST" to "EVENING ROAST". Keep the font, layout and everything else the same.”Nano Banana 2.1 · 4 credits

Three AI models, compared on the same photo

Each tier runs a different model. Here the same photo and the same prompt went through all three, so you can see what the extra credits buy.

All three changed the t-shirt into a blazer and kept her face. Style returned a slightly different crop and a bit more contrast. Standard and Pro are hard to tell apart here, so Standard is the better buy for a change like this.

Keep editing

Edit the result again, one change at a time

Every result can be the start of the next edit. Small steps are easier to control than one long prompt, and every version stays in the history so you can go back.

Writing prompts

How to write a prompt that works

The editor does what the words say. A specific prompt gets closer to what you had in mind in fewer tries.

The park bench photo with a barely visible changeShort prompt

“Give this photo a 90s film camera look: warm color cast, soft grain and slightly faded blacks. No date stamp.”

The park bench photo with a warm film lookDetailed prompt

“Make this look like a photo printed from a 1990s disposable film camera: strong warm yellow-orange color cast, visible film grain, washed-out faded shadows, slightly soft focus and a light vignette. Keep the people and the pose the same. No date stamp.”

The same photo on Standard. The detailed prompt named the color cast, the grain, the shadows and the vignette, and came out warmer and more faded. Both are still subtle; the tier comparison above shows a stronger result on Style.
  1. 1

    Name what to change

    "Change her grey t-shirt to a navy blazer"

    "Make her look more professional"

  2. 2

    Say what must stay the same

    "Keep her face, hair, pose and the street exactly the same"

    Leaving it out and hoping nothing else moves

Why this editor

What makes it different from a filter app

  • The rest of the photo is kept

    Faces, poses, framing and backgrounds stayed the same in our tests unless the prompt asked for a change.

  • Pick the model for the job

    Style for bold looks and art styles, Standard for most edits, Pro for the details that matter. The model name is shown on every result.

  • Up to 5 photos per edit

    Combine a person and a garment, a product and a room, or two pets, in one prompt.

  • Unlimited follow-up rounds

    Edit the result as many times as you like. Every version is kept, so you can go back a step.

  • Credits back on failure

    If a run fails or is blocked, the credits are returned to your balance automatically.

What the AI editor gets wrong

These came up in our own tests. Knowing them saves credits.

BeforeAfter

Style changes can come out too subtle

We asked Standard for a 90s film camera look. The result is only slightly warmer and softer than the original. Looks and art styles vary the most between models and runs. Describe the look in detail, or try it on Style, which gave the strongest film look in our tests.

Left: the original · Right: a short style prompt on Standard

  • Long text can be misspelled

    Short titles came out right on all three models. Long sentences, small print and unusual words can lose or swap letters. Read the result before you print it.

  • Faces can shift slightly

    The person stayed recognizable in every test, but small details such as an earring or a freckle can change. Compare with the original when the exact face matters.

  • Style may change the frame a little

    Style returned a slightly different crop and size in our runs. Standard and Pro kept the original framing and size.

  • Not for fake documents or misleading photos

    The models refuse many edits of IDs, receipts and real people in made-up situations, and the terms of use forbid them. Do not use an edited photo as evidence of something that did not happen.

Output size: a PNG of about 2K on Style, and on Standard and Pro once you have bought a pack or plan (about 1K on free credits). After any purchase, the 4K switch makes an edit about 4K for more credits. For a larger print, run the result through the Image Upscaler.
