Examples

Before and After Examples

Every after image in this gallery, and in the feature and use-case cards further down, is an unretouched result from this editor. We brushed each photo by hand (or described the change in one sentence with Edit), ran it twice and kept the better result. The original photos are sample scenes. Copy a prompt and try it on your own picture; results vary from photo to photo.

  • Before and after: generative fill adds a Siberian husky sitting in the empty snow in front of a red cabin at blue hour
    Add

    “a fluffy Siberian husky sitting in the snow, looking back toward the cabin”

    An empty snowfield gets a subject. The husky picks up the cold blue light, sinks into the snow and casts a soft shadow.

  • Before and after: generative fill replaces a dented beige delivery van with a red 1960s sports car on a rainy night street
    Replace

    “a glossy cherry-red 1960s sports car, its paint reflecting the lanterns”

    A battered van becomes a classic sports car, and the wet street still reflects it under the lanterns.

  • Before and after: generative fill removes four tourists from a wooden pier over turquoise water, leaving only the woman in the white dress and straw hat
    Remove

    Prompt left empty

    Four strangers on the pier disappear, and the planks, railings and sea behind them are rebuilt as if the shot had been empty.

Three steps

How to Use AI Generative Fill in 3 Steps

  1. 1

    Upload and select

    Upload a photo, then brush over the area you want to change or drag a rectangle around it. Cover the whole object plus a small margin. A slightly larger selection gives the AI room to blend the edges.

  2. 2

    Describe the change

    Type what should appear in the selected area, such as "a wooden bench" or "a clear blue sky." To remove something, leave the prompt empty. Add a reference image if the result needs to match a specific product, style, or color.

  3. 3

    Pick your favorite

    AI generative fill returns three variations. Compare them, choose the one that looks most natural, and download it. You can also select a new area and keep editing on top of your result.

Capabilities

Add, Remove or Replace Anything in a Photo

  • Before and after: a flat white coffee with heart latte art added next to a laptop on an oak desk

    Add objects to any photo

    Put a plant on an empty shelf, a boat on a quiet lake, or a coffee cup next to a laptop. Brush where the object should go, describe it, and the AI places it with shadows and reflections that match the scene.

  • Before and after: the plain white wall behind a mustard armchair, a floor lamp and a fiddle-leaf fig becomes exposed red brick

    Replace anything with a prompt

    Select the object you want to swap and describe its replacement. Turn a plain wall into brick, a T-shirt into a blazer, or a gray sky into a sunset. Everything outside your selection stays untouched.

  • Before and after: a large coffee stain removed from a man's light-blue shirt, with the fabric and buttons rebuilt

    Remove distractions with an empty prompt

    Brush over a stranger, a power line, a logo, or a stain, then click Generate without typing anything. Generative fill rebuilds the background as if the object had never been there.

  • Reference-guided before and after: a plain white sundress takes on the blue lemon print from the fabric swatch used as the reference
    New

    Guide the result with a reference image

    Words only go so far. Upload a reference image and the AI will follow its look: the exact sneaker model, the pattern on a fabric, or the color palette of your brand. This is the fastest way to get consistent results across a set of photos.

The basics

What Is AI Generative Fill?

AI generative fill is an editing technique that changes only the part of an image you select. You mark an area, write a short text prompt, and an image model paints new pixels into that area so they blend with everything around them. You may also see it called AI inpainting or an AI image filler.

Adobe made the term popular when it added Generative Fill to Photoshop in 2023, but the technology behind it, called inpainting, is not tied to one app. Today, AI generative fill runs on modern image models that work directly in a web browser.

The key difference from a normal AI image generator is control. An image generator creates a whole new picture from scratch. Generative fill keeps your original photo and edits one region, so the person, product, or room you care about stays exactly as it was.

Under the hood

How the AI Makes Edits Look Real

When you click Generate, the model studies the pixels around your selection before it paints anything. It reads the direction and color of the light, the depth of the scene, the grain of the photo, and the edges of nearby objects. Then it creates new content that follows the same rules, so a lamp you add casts a shadow on the correct side and a patch of sky picks up the same haze as the rest of the horizon.

Your prompt tells the model what to create, and the surroundings tell it how that content should look. This is why a clear selection and a short, specific prompt usually beat a long description. After each generation, we paste the untouched area back from your original file, so nothing outside the mask shifts, blurs, or changes color.

  • Light direction
  • Shadow on the correct side
  • Blended edges
  • Same grain and haze

Comparison

Generative Fill Online vs. Photoshop Generative Fill

Photoshop's Generative Fill is a powerful feature, and if you already work in Photoshop every day, it fits naturally into your workflow. Many people, though, only need to fix or change a few photos. Paying for a Creative Cloud plan, installing a large desktop app, and learning layers and selections is a lot for that job. That is where an online tool helps: you get Photoshop-style generative fill online, in a browser tab, without the rest of Photoshop.

Our honest take: for detailed composites with many layers, Photoshop is still the more complete editor. For fast edits where you simply need generative fill to work, a browser tool gets you there in fewer steps.

Prompts

Generative Fill Prompts That Work

Good prompts are short and concrete. Name the object, add one or two details about material or color, and mention light if it matters. If a result is close but not perfect, keep the best variation, select only the part that still looks wrong, and run a smaller edit on top of it. Click any prompt below to try it:

Tips for better generative fill results

  • Describe what should be there, not what to remove.

    "Green lawn" works better than "remove the car."

  • Keep prompts under 15 words.

    Long prompts tend to confuse the model.

  • Select a bit more than the object.

    Tight selections can leave a visible outline.

  • Match the style of the photo.

    Add "photorealistic" for photos or "flat illustration" for graphics.

  • Generate again.

    If none of the three variations fit, a second round often lands.

Use cases

Who It's For

  • Before and after product photo: a serum bottle snapped on a cluttered bathroom sink now stands on wet slate with eucalyptus leaves

    E-commerce sellers

    Place products in lifestyle scenes, swap backgrounds for seasonal campaigns, and remove props or tags without a reshoot. With a reference image, the product stays accurate across every listing. One studio shot can become a full set of images for Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy.

  • Before and after travel post: hot air balloons added to the empty sunrise sky above a traveller sitting on a rooftop

    Social media creators

    Clean up a messy background before you post, or add a detail that makes a thumbnail stand out. A stray cable or a stranger on a travel reel cover takes seconds to clear.

  • Before and after listing photo: dishes, mail, boxes, a laundry basket and cables cleared from a kitchen island and countertops

    Real estate agents and interior designers

    Stage empty rooms with furniture, test new wall colors, and remove clutter before listing photos go live.

  • Before and after: the blank corners left after straightening a black-and-white beach photo are filled with matching sky, sea and sand

    Photographers

    Remove photobombers, fill in a missing corner after straightening a horizon, or replace a dull sky while the subject stays untouched.

  • Before and after ad creative: a vinyl record, a cassette tape and a small cactus added around headphones on a yellow backdrop

    Marketers and small teams

    Produce ad variations fast. You can test different props and settings on the same base image without waiting for a designer.
