Editing Models
Modify existing images with AI — image-to-image editing with PixAI Reference Pro and PixAI Edit, their use cases, and how they compare.
PixAI's editing models work differently from regular image generation models. Instead of producing an image from scratch from a text prompt, they start from an image you upload and transform it based on natural language instructions. Think of them as a conversational image editor — tell it what you want to change, and the AI does the rest.
Editing models don't use LoRAs, ControlNet, negative prompts, or other generation parameters. The whole flow is based on the images you upload and your natural language instructions.
PixAI Reference Pro
PixAI Reference Pro is a multi-image editing model. Upload one or more reference images, then describe the changes you want. The AI parses the characters, poses, outfits, style, and composition in your images and transforms them based on your instructions.
