Upload a photo, paint the area and describe the change. The whole image is regenerated, so check inside and outside the brush.

Photo Editing
After AI inpainting changes one part of the photo, clean the rest, swap the background or resize it with the tools below.
What it is
AI inpainting changes one part of a photo and leaves the rest alone.
You upload a photo, paint over the area you want to change with a brush, and choose what to do there: Replace it with something you describe, Remove it and rebuild the background, or Add a new object to an empty spot.
The painted area is sent to the model as a marked copy of your photo, and the model is asked to edit only inside that mark, matching the perspective, light direction, shadows and grain so the change blends in.
The product, its text and logo, and everything outside the brush are asked to stay as they are.
On ProductShot AI, each image uses 10 credits, and you can generate 1 to 4 images at a time. New accounts get one free generation. Each run takes one photo, and you sign in to generate.
Results are saved to your history, so you can come back later or change the settings and generate again without re-uploading. The credits for each run are shown under the Generate button; start with one image, then generate more to choose from.
AI inpainting works best when the photo is good except for one part. A lifestyle shot with the wrong prop, a desk shot with a spoon in the frame, an empty corner that needs a plant: each would otherwise mean a reshoot or careful retouching.
It differs from the AI Photo Cleaner, which removes clutter across the whole photo without a brush, and from the AI Product Background Changer, which replaces the entire scene.
Inpainting is for one precise area that you choose, including adding something new. Start with the three examples, which come with an area already painted.
To check a result, look at four things in order. First the painted area: the new content matches your notes and sits naturally in the scene. Then the edges: no halo, seam or blur around the brush.
Then the product: shape, color, printed text and logo unchanged. Finally the whole image: light, shadows and perspective consistent.
One rule matters beyond any setting: do not use inpainting to hide real defects on a product you sell, or to add features it does not have. Use it for props, scenes and distractions, and follow each marketplace’s rules for listing images.

Why ProductShot AI
Every setting is designed around one question: can the edited photo go straight back into your listing?
The prompt limits the edit to the painted area.
New content follows the scene’s light, shadow and noise.
Removed objects are replaced with rebuilt background.
Uploaded images are used to generate your result.
Keep the product, match the light, add a shadow, and more.
The whole image is regenerated; the result area reminds you to check.
Use Cases
Each starts from a good photo with one part that needs to change and ends with the same photo, changed only where you painted.
The product is right but the prop is wrong: a dried stem, the wrong cup, a dated book. Paint the prop, choose Replace and describe the new one.
A spoon, a cable or a reflection of the photographer. Paint it, choose Remove, and the background behind it is rebuilt.
An empty corner can take a plant, a lemon or a folded towel. Paint the spot, choose Add and describe the object.
A stain on the backdrop or a crease in the cloth. Paint only that spot so the rest of the photo stays as shot.
Keep the product and change one prop to make seasonal or color variants for testing.

How it works
Upload, paint the area, describe the change and check. Everything happens on this page.
Upload the photo you want to edit, JPG, PNG or WEBP up to 16MB. Or start from one of the three examples, which come with a painted area.
Paint over the area to change with the brush, a little larger than the object. Choose Replace, Remove or Add, and describe the new content in the notes.
Generate 1 to 4 versions at 10 credits each. The result area shows the original next to every version.
Check that the painted area looks natural and that nothing outside it changed: product shape, color, text and logo.

Feedback from some of our users. Thumbnails show products from their categories.
“The flowers in our vase shots were dated. I painted the stems and replaced them; the vase stayed exactly the same.”
“A spoon kept showing up in mug shots. Paint and remove takes a minute.”
“Adding a small plant to an empty ledge made the lifestyle shot feel finished.”
“Edges near the brush sometimes soften, so I paint a bit wider and check at full size.”
“I made a winter and a spring version from one shoot by swapping the props.”
“Inpainting for one prop, the cleaner for general clutter. They work well together.”
