Edit your photos by describing what you want. Type "add sunset lighting" or "make it look like an oil painting," and AI Photo Editing does the rest. No sliders, layers, or editing skills required. NATURAL LANGUAGE EDITING Describe your idea in plain English: "remove the people in the background," "make it look like a painting," or "put me on a beach." The AI understands what you mean and creates the edit, usually within seconds. Not sure where to start? Tap one of the ideas in the prompt box. PROMPT ENHANCER Not sure how to phrase it? Turn on the Prompt Enhancer and tap a style: Photorealistic, Painting, Anime, Comic, Pixel Art, Dramatic, New Scene, or Auto Crop. It adds the photography language that gets better results from shorter prompts. THREE AI MODES Standard handles everyday edits for 1 credit. Fast returns your edit in a few seconds, for 1 credit or unlimited with Pro (fair use), when you want to try ideas quickly. Genius uses a more powerful model for the tricky ones, for 2 credits. COMPARE AND REFINE • Swipe between your original and every version you create • Try different prompts to explore variations • Keep refining until it's exactly right • Zoom in to check the details MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD On iPad, your photo sits beside the controls in landscape and gets a roomy single column in portrait. On iPhone, your prompt and its buttons stay in view above the keyboard. SAVED AUTOMATICALLY Your edits are saved to their own album in the Photos app, so every version is easy to find and keep editing. Prefer to save by hand? Turn auto-save off. SHARP RESULTS Built-in upscaling keeps your edits crisp and detailed. SHARE AT FULL QUALITY Share any edit straight to Messages, social apps, or anywhere else, at the same full resolution you save. Location details are removed from shared photos. YOUR PHOTOS STAY PRIVATE We don't keep your photos on our servers.
