How to edit a photo with the ChatGPT image editor

Using the ChatGPT image editor takes three steps: one request, one edited image.

  1. 1

    Upload the photo to edit

    Drop in a JPG, PNG, WEBP or iPhone HEIC file. You can add up to 15 more images as references, such as a product, a face or a style to copy. The first image is the one that gets edited.

  2. 2

    Describe the change and what to stay

    Write one sentence like "Change the background to a sunny beach." The tool adds an instruction to change only what you ask and keep everything else in the picture, including faces, pose and lighting.

  3. 3

    Edit, compare and download

    Press Edit Image. The result appears beside the tool; compare it with your original, check the details, then use Download to save the file.

What a ChatGPT image editor is used for

Six jobs that a short written request handles well.

Swap a background

Move a portrait or product shot to a studio backdrop, a beach or an office. Name the new place and say the subject stays.

Remove something

Ask for a stray person, a cable or a trash can to be taken out, and name what should fill the gap.

Change clothes or style

Try a different jacket, or restyle the photo as a watercolor, a sketch or a comic page.

Fix light and color

Ask for warmer light, a brighter room or a calmer color palette on a photo that came out flat.

Combine several images

Upload a product plus a scene, or a person plus an outfit reference, and describe how they should fit together.

Make product and social images

Put a product into a lifestyle setting or prepare a picture for a post without opening a design tool.

Before you press Edit: tips for better results

Small habits that get more out of the ChatGPT image editor.

  • Name the area: write "the sky" or "the left chair", not "fix this".
  • Say what must stay, for example "keep her face, pose and jacket".
  • Choose the change you want most and name what must stay.
  • Add reference images for a product, a face or a style, and say what each one is for.
  • Start from a sharp photo; blur in the original usually stays blurry.
  • For text in the image, spell out the exact words you want.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, ChatGPT can edit images, and so can this tool. This site is an independent editor that runs OpenAI's GPT Image 2 model: upload a photo, describe the change, get the result. It is not ChatGPT and has no chat.

Here, your first image is free, with no sign-up and no credit card. The allowance is one per visitor across the whole site. After that the tool tells you the free tries are used up, and there is no paid plan yet.

This one is a free-to-try AI photo editor that uses OpenAI's GPT Image model, the same family behind ChatGPT's images. It is independent, not operated or endorsed by OpenAI, and you need no ChatGPT account.

Good prompts name a change and a keep list. Try "Replace the background with a clean white studio, keep the person and shadows", "Remove the man on the left and fill with the street", or "Make it a watercolor painting, keep the composition". Put the most important instruction first, and add the words "keep everything else the same" if the change is small.

The tool tells the model to change only your request and keep faces, pose, composition, lighting, colors and text. That is an instruction, not a guarantee, so compare the result with your original before you use it.

In this ChatGPT image editor you describe the part in words, such as "the sky" or "the red car". There is no brush or mask to paint a selection, so the more exactly you name the area, the better the model can aim. Name the area to change and the parts to keep in your prompt.

Yes. Upload the photo to edit and up to 15 reference images, 16 in total. Say in your prompt what each reference is for, such as a product to place or a style to copy. With one reference you can swap an object, with two you can mix a person and an outfit. Each run still returns a single image.

JPG, PNG, WEBP and HEIC or HEIF from an iPhone, up to 10 MB each. Your browser shrinks each photo to a longest edge of 2048 px before upload. The prompt can be up to 5,000 characters.

Your photo is only used to create your images and is never used to train AI models. Your photo and prompt are sent to the image model provider, which keeps the result for a limited time so you can download it. You must be 18 or older to use the site.

No. This is not a chat: each request is separate and gives one image back. The free allowance covers one generated image across the whole site.

It is a tool that edits a photo from a written instruction instead of brushes and layers. You say "remove the car" or "make it night", and an image model redraws the picture. This one runs OpenAI's GPT Image 2 model and is not the ChatGPT app.
