Edit images

Change an image with a prompt, upscale it, remove the background, split layers, crop it and more.

Select an image node to show its toolbar. The tools work on uploaded and generated images. Each tool makes a new node, so your original image doesn't change.

The toolbar above a selected Image node, with Edit, Grid split, Send to Sequence, Save as asset and Publish to PixAI

The first button in the toolbar is Edit. Click it to change the image with a prompt. Point to it to see all the editing tools:

ToolWhat it does
EditChanges the image as your prompt describes.
UpscaleMakes the image larger.
Remove backgroundMakes the background transparent.
Split layersSplits the image into transparent layers.
CropCuts the image to a frame that you draw.
Rotate & mirrorRotates or flips the image.
MosaicHides parts of the image with a mosaic, a blur, a fill or lines.

Edit with a prompt

Select the image, then click Edit. A new node opens next to it, connected to your image.

Describe the change, for example "make the jacket red".
Click Generate.

Upscale or remove the background

Select the image, point to Edit and click Upscale or Remove background.
For Upscale, set the Scale.
Click Generate.

Split layers

Split one image into transparent layers, for example the character and the background.

Select the image, point to Edit and click Split layers.

Optional: describe what to split, for example "the character and the sign". Leave the prompt empty to split every main element.

Click Generate. The cost depends on how many layers the image needs.

When the layers are ready, click Fullscreen to open the Layers view. There you can show or hide each layer, click Download as PSD, or click Send layers to canvas to put each layer on the canvas as its own node.

Crop, rotate and mosaic

Select the image, point to Edit, and click the tool. The result is a new node.

  • Crop: choose an aspect ratio, drag the frame, then click Crop.
  • Rotate & mirror: click Rotate 90°, Flip horizontal or Flip vertical, then click Save.
  • Mosaic: choose a Pattern, paint the area with the Brush, then click Apply.

Grid split

Cut an image into cells, for example to turn a sheet of panels into separate shots.

Select the image and click Grid split.
Choose a grid, such as 2×2 or 3×3.
Click the cells that you want, or click Select all.
Click Create storyboard. Each cell becomes a node in a new Storyboard group.

The toolbar also has Copy image, Download and Fullscreen. To download many images at once, see Organize and download.

Common questions

Does an edit change my original image?

No. Every tool makes a new node. The original node stays as it was.

I don't see the editing tools.

The toolbar shows only when the node has an image. Generate it, or wait for the upload to finish.
