Guide to Image Editing Basics

Learn the basics of image editing in getimg.ai: how to enhance, restyle, and transform images using simple prompts.

How It Works

Image editing in getimg.ai happens in plain language. No need for layers, masks, or separate editing tools.

You can edit in two main ways:

From the full image view (for any image already in your gallery).
From the Create image prompt box (for any image you already have, or a new upload).

If you're editing something already in your gallery:

Log into getimg.ai and click any image to open it in full view.
The prompt box appears just below the image.
Write your edit prompt (e.g., remove the text on the wall, make it black and white) and click the arrow.

Tip:

You can use the left and right arrows to move between images while editing in full view.

Not sure what kind of edits you can make? Available options include (but are not limited to):

For technical tasks, getimg.ai includes dedicated Actions in the sidebar:

Open Create image from the Actions section in the sidebar, then add an image. You can:

Click the Reference button in the prompt box. Press Upload file to pick one from your device, or Select existing to choose an image you already have in your gallery, or
Drag and drop an image straight from your gallery into the prompt box, or
Hover over an image in your gallery, click ⋯, and select Use as reference.

You can change a single thing, or chain multiple edits in one prompt.

Examples:

A new, edited version appears, while your original stays unchanged.

That's it! Now it's your turn. Try starting with a simple edit, then combine multiple changes within one prompt to see how powerful this feature is.

: No. When you edit an image in getimg.ai, the system generates a brand new version based on your instructions. Your original image remains untouched in your gallery, so you can try different edits without losing your source material.
: No. You do not need to use selection tools, layers, or masks. You simply describe the change you want to see in the prompt box (e.g., "remove the person in the background" or "change the sky to a sunset"), and the AI detects the relevant area automatically.
: Yes. You can "chain" instructions in one prompt to save time. Instead of doing one edit at a time, you can write a comprehensive prompt like: "Make the lighting warmer, add a cup of coffee on the table, and turn the photo into a watercolor painting."
: Yes. getimg.ai includes dedicated actions in the sidebar for Upscale image, Resize image, and Remove background. They're built specifically for those technical tasks and take just a couple of clicks each.
: Unlike generation prompts which are descriptive, editing prompts work best with "active" verbs. Use direct commands like "remove," "add," "change," or "turn." For example, instead of describing "a cat on a sofa," say "Add a cat on the sofa."
