AI Photo Editor
Transform your photos with intelligent AI editing, inpaint objects, extend canvases, transfer styles, and remove backgrounds using a full set of specialized editing models.
AI photo editing has gone far beyond basic filters. Modern AI editing models understand the content of your image, the objects, the scene, the lighting, the style, and can make intelligent modifications that would take hours of manual work in Photoshop. From removing unwanted objects to extending a canvas cleanly, AI photo editing is faster, easier, and increasingly more capable than traditional tools.
ApeFX integrates a full set of AI editing models, each specialized for different tasks. Whether you need to modify an existing photo or refine an AI-generated image, the editing tools work cleanly within the same platform.
AI Editing Capabilities
Inpainting, Edit Specific Areas
Inpainting lets you select a region of an image and regenerate it based on a text prompt while keeping the rest of the image intact. Remove an unwanted person from a photo, change someone’s outfit, add an object to a scene, or fix imperfections, all by painting a mask and describing what you want.
Models like Nano Banana 2 Edit and Seedream Edit handle inpainting with remarkable context-awareness, matching the lighting, perspective, and style of the surrounding image.
Outpainting, Extend the Canvas
Outpainting extends an image beyond its original borders. Have a portrait that’s too tightly cropped? Extend it to create breathing room. Need a wider scene for a banner? Outpaint the sides. The AI generates new content that matches the original image’s style, lighting, and perspective.
Style Transfer
Transform a photograph into a painting, turn a sketch into a rendered scene, or apply any artistic style to an existing image. Style transfer preserves the content and composition of your original while applying a new visual treatment.
Background Replacement
Replace the background of any image with AI. Particularly powerful for product photography, take a product on a plain background and place it in a lifestyle scene, or swap studio backgrounds for outdoor settings. Nano Banana 2 Edit and Flux Kontext Pro handle background replacement with accurate lighting and edges.
Targeted Edits and Refinement
Change a specific part of an image while leaving the rest untouched. Flux Kontext Pro (4 credits) follows precise instructions like recoloring an object, adjusting a detail, or refining a composition, holding the look of the original image throughout.
Multi-Image Blending
Nano Banana 2 Edit supports blending up to 14 images together, combining elements from multiple sources into a coherent composite. This is powerful for creating mood boards, combining character references, or merging multiple concept directions.

How to Edit Photos with ApeFX
Step 1: Upload or Select an Image
Upload a photo from your device or select any image from your ApeFX gallery. AI-generated images can be sent directly to the editor without downloading.
Step 2: Choose Your Edit Type
Select what you want to do: inpaint a region, extend the canvas, apply a style, adjust focus, or replace the background. Each edit type is optimized for the best model.
Step 3: Describe Your Changes
Write a text prompt describing what you want. For inpainting: mask the area and describe the replacement. For style transfer: describe the target style. The more specific your description, the more accurate the result.
Step 4: Generate & Compare
Generate the edit and compare with the original. If it’s not quite right, adjust your prompt or mask and regenerate. Editing credits are affordable (3-8 credits per edit), so iteration is practical.
Step 5: Enhance & Export
Once satisfied, upscale the result to 4K+ if needed, then export. Paid plans produce watermark-free output suitable for commercial use.
