Change a Photo with a Prompt
To change a photo with a prompt, upload it on Create photo in your browser, pick a photo model and write one sentence saying what should be different. Your shot stays the base, and the text describes only the edit.

This is not the same as generating a picture from text. A text-to-image request has to describe the whole frame, and the model invents everything in it. An edit request describes only the difference, and whatever you leave unmentioned is supposed to stay put. Whether it really does depends mostly on the wording.
One instruction per run
Pack five changes into one sentence and the model tends to carry out some, skip others and read one of them its own way. Work in steps instead: make the first change, download the result, upload it again and write the second change. Each step is easy to check, and if one goes wrong you redo only that step.
Say what and where
A useful edit names the thing to change and where it sits in the frame: replace the blue T-shirt with a white linen shirt, or remove the parked car behind her on the right. Vague requests such as make it look more modern give the model no target, so the outcome is random. Name colors, materials and positions rather than moods.
Protect what must not change
Even for a small edit the model rebuilds the entire image, so details you care about can drift. Guard them in the same prompt: keep the face, hairstyle and background unchanged. A short protective clause noticeably raises the odds that those areas come back intact. Put the new version next to the original before moving on.
Templates with the wording done
The cards on this page are edits with the instruction already written. Doodles & Power Words draws sketches and bold words over your uploaded photo in colors matched to it. Photo Restoration balances lighting and white balance while keeping identity. Crease & Damage Repair removes folds, cracks and scratches from old prints.
Limits and cost
Every edit counts as its own generation and costs stars; the number appears before you start. Stick to pictures of you or of someone who is fine with being edited, and keep children to family pictures. An edit returns a newly generated image, so tiny details can differ from the source even when the prompt asks to keep them.

FAQ
What language should the instruction be in?
Plain English works well. Short, concrete sentences are followed more reliably than long ones, so write the edit the way you would brief a retoucher: the object, the change and anything that must stay.
Why did something change that I did not ask about?
Models regenerate the entire picture rather than patching one area. Add an explicit line about what to keep, for example leave the face and the window behind unchanged, and try once more.
Can I keep editing the result?
Yes. Download the finished image, use it as the source for the next run and describe the next change. Chaining short edits like this is usually more predictable than one long request.
Is there a free way to edit a photo with a prompt?
Starting is free. Once the email is confirmed, 5 stars appear on the balance for first edits, and topping up later is done through Pricing. Some catalog templates are also marked Free today and run without stars within a daily limit.
