AI inpainting

Change one part of an image and leave the rest alone. Brush over the area, type what should be there instead, such as a different guitar, a neon sign, or an empty wall, and the AI paints it in with matching light and perspective.

How to inpaint an image with AI

Mask one area, describe what belongs there, and keep the rest of the picture, in three steps.

  1. 1. Upload the image Sign in with a free account and add a JPG, PNG, or WebP of up to 20 MB. The image opens in the mask editor.
  2. 2. Paint the area to replace Brush over the part you want changed; the rest stays as it is. Use Brush size for fine or broad strokes and Clear mask to start over, or upload a black-and-white mask image in which white marks the area to replace.
  3. 3. Describe the replacement and generate In Your direction, type what should appear in the painted area, such as a vintage red electric guitar. Press Generate. The result appears under Your recent creations; open it to save the PNG.

What you can do

  • Brush a mask, then describe the replacement in plain language
  • Fill matches the lighting, perspective, and style of the image
  • Swap props, fix details, or extend a background on cover art
  • Download the edited image as a PNG

What inpainting is used for

Inpainting changes one part of a picture and keeps everything else. Use it to swap a prop, redo a hand or a sign that came out wrong, change what someone is wearing, or clear a patch of background for a title. On cover art it is the quick way to rescue an image that is nearly right: mask the one detail that is off, describe what you want there, and run it again until it fits.

Is AI inpainting free?

Yes, to start. A new web account starts with 20 credits and each inpainting run costs 5, so the first four are covered. On the free plan the balance tops back up to 10 credits each day you sign in, enough for two more a day. Beyond that, credits come from a paid plan or a credit pack. The price shows on the Generate button, and credits are refunded if a generation fails.

What inpainting can't do

It changes only the painted area, so it cannot restyle the whole picture or move the subject; use Image to Image for that. It does not make the canvas bigger: there is no outpainting. There is one quality level and one result per run, and small text inside the painted area is often not spelled exactly. Photos larger than 2048 pixels on the long side are scaled down to that size.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI inpainting?

Inpainting regenerates only the area you select. You mask part of an image, describe what should appear there, and the rest of the picture stays untouched.

How is it different from the Image Eraser?

The eraser removes an object and fills with background. Inpaint replaces the masked area with whatever you describe.

How do I get a clean result?

Mask slightly beyond the object's edges and keep the description short and specific.

Is this an inpainting AI I can use online?

Yes. It runs in the browser with nothing to install. New Solmi accounts start with free credits, and each inpainting run costs credits shown before you generate.

How do I replace an object in a photo with AI?

Paint over the object, type what should take its place, and generate. Only the painted area is redrawn, so the rest of the photo stays the same.
