Use Cases:
- Object Removal and Cleanup: Paint over unwanted objects, people, power lines, trash, or blemishes in photos. The AI fills the masked area with content that matches the surrounding scene — textures, colors, and lighting blend seamlessly. Works as a powerful object remover for photo cleanup.
- Text and Watermark Removal: Remove text from images including watermarks, logos, captions, timestamps, and overlay text. Paint over the text area and the AI reconstructs the background behind it. Useful for cleaning up stock photos, screenshots, and social media images.
- Adding New Elements to Photos: Paint an area and describe what should appear — add a tree, change a sign, place a product, or insert a person. The AI generates the described element with correct perspective, lighting, and style to match the rest of the image.
- Reference Image Inpainting: Attach a reference image and paint the area where it should be placed. The AI blends the reference into the scene with matching perspective and lighting. Perfect for product placement mockups, composite images, and creative photo manipulation.
- Photo Repair and Restoration: Fix damaged areas of photos — scratches, tears, stains, and missing sections. Paint over the damaged region and let the AI reconstruct the content based on surrounding visual information. Complements full photo restoration for targeted fixes.
- Product Photo Editing: Edit specific areas of product images for e-commerce. Change a product color in one region, fix reflections, remove background distractions, or swap individual elements. Inpainting gives precise control that global edits cannot achieve.
- Real Estate Photo Enhancement: Clean up property photos by removing clutter, personal items, or distracting elements from rooms. Paint over a messy countertop and replace it with a clean surface, remove a parked car from a driveway, or fix imperfections in interior shots. Helps listings look polished and professional.
- Social Media Content Editing: Fix specific parts of photos before posting to Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook. Remove photobombers, erase unwanted signs or branding, replace a distracting element, or add something new to a scene. Inpainting lets you perfect individual areas without re-editing the entire image.
- Fashion and Portrait Retouching: Make targeted edits to portrait and fashion photos. Remove blemishes, fix clothing wrinkles in one area, change an accessory, or adjust a specific detail. Paint only the area that needs change — skin, hair, clothing, jewelry, or background — while keeping everything else untouched.
- Meme and Creative Editing: Replace text on signs, screens, or surfaces in photos for memes, parodies, or creative projects. Paint over existing text and type the new text in your prompt. Change billboards, book covers, T-shirt prints, or any text visible in an image.

FAQ:
Q: What is AI inpainting?
A: AI inpainting is a technique that uses artificial intelligence to fill in or replace selected areas of an image. You paint a mask over the region you want to change, provide a text prompt or reference image, and the AI generates new content that blends seamlessly with the surrounding image. It gives you precise, area-specific control over image editing.

Q: How is inpainting different from full-image editing?
A: Inpainting targets only the masked area you paint over, leaving the rest of the image completely unchanged. Full-image editing (the Edit tool) applies changes to the entire photo based on your text prompt. Use inpainting for local, targeted changes — replacing one object, fixing one area, or adding a specific element. Use full-image editing for global changes like lighting, style, or color adjustments.

Q: What AI models are available for inpainting?
A: AI Edit offers three dedicated inpainting models from Google: Nano Banana Pro for the highest quality results, Nano Banana 2 for the widest feature set with support for reference image attachment, and Nano Banana 2 Fast for quicker processing when speed matters. All three models produce seamless, high-quality inpainting results.

Q: Can I remove text from an image with inpainting?
A: Yes. To remove text from an image, paint over the text area with the brush tool. You do not need a text prompt for removal — the AI will reconstruct the background behind the text. This works for watermarks, logos, captions, timestamps, subtitles, and any overlay text on photos or screenshots.

Q: Can I remove objects from a photo?
A: Yes. Paint over the unwanted object with the brush tool and the AI fills the area with matching background content. This works as an object remover for people, items, power lines, trash, blemishes, and any unwanted element. For bulk object removal, the dedicated Remove Object tool provides a streamlined workflow.

Q: What is reference image inpainting?
A: Reference image inpainting lets you attach a separate image and paste it into the painted area of your photo. Instead of describing what should appear in text, you provide the actual image. The AI blends the reference into the scene with correct perspective, lighting, and color matching. This is useful for product placement, composite photos, and precise object insertion.

Q: Can I adjust the brush size?
A: Yes. The brush size is fully adjustable using a slider in the toolbar. A smaller brush gives precision for detailed areas like text or small objects. A larger brush covers bigger regions faster. An eraser tool is also available to correct your mask before processing.

Q: Can I zoom in for precise masking?
A: Yes. The inpainting tool supports zoom up to 300% magnification. Use zoom to precisely mask small details, thin objects, or text. Pan mode lets you navigate around the image while zoomed in. Zoom controls are in the toolbar below the canvas.

Q: What output resolution does inpainting support?
A: Depending on the model, you can choose between 2K and 4K output resolution. Higher resolution preserves more detail in the inpainted area and produces sharper results. Resolution options appear in the toolbar when the selected model supports them.

Q: Does inpainting work on mobile devices?
A: Yes. The AI inpainting tool is fully mobile-friendly with touch support. Draw masks with your finger on iPhone, Android, and iPad. The interface adapts to smaller screens with touch-optimized controls. No app download needed — it works directly in your mobile browser.

Q: What image formats are supported?
A: AI inpainting supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC formats. HEIC images from iPhones are automatically converted. Drag and drop files directly into the editor, or click to browse and upload.

Q: Is there a limit to the mask area size?
A: No hard limit. You can mask small regions like a single letter or large portions covering most of the image. Smaller masks produce more precise results since the AI has more context from surrounding content. Larger masks give the AI more creative freedom to generate new content.

Q: Can I use inpainting to change part of a background?
A: Yes. Paint over the specific background area you want to change and describe the replacement in your prompt (e.g., "sunset sky," "brick wall," "ocean waves"). Only the masked background area changes while the foreground subject and the rest of the background remain untouched.

Q: How is AI inpainting different from Stable Diffusion inpainting?
A: AI Edit uses dedicated inpainting models from Google (Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana 2 Fast, Nano Banana Pro) that are purpose-built for image inpainting. Unlike Stable Diffusion inpainting which requires local setup with ComfyUI or Forge UI, AI Edit runs entirely in the browser with no installation. The brush and mask tools are built into the interface with zoom, pan, and eraser controls.

Q: Can I inpaint multiple areas in one image?
A: You can paint multiple areas in a single mask and process them all at once. The AI fills all masked regions simultaneously, maintaining consistency across the entire image. For different prompts per area, process each area separately by masking and inpainting one region at a time.

Q: What can I replace the masked area with?
A: Anything you can describe in a text prompt or provide as a reference image — a different object, texture, background element, person, vehicle, furniture, sky, landscape, food, animal, text, pattern, or empty space. The AI generates the replacement to match the style, lighting, and perspective of the original image.

Q: How fast is AI inpainting?
A: Processing time depends on the model and output resolution. Most inpainting operations complete in 30 to 60 seconds. Nano Banana 2 Fast provides the quickest results. Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 take slightly longer but produce higher-quality output. 4K resolution takes longer than 2K.

Q: Is AI inpainting free?
A: AI inpainting uses credits from your subscription plan. Each inpaint operation costs credits depending on the model — Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana 2 Fast cost 4 credits, and Nano Banana Pro costs 4 credits per operation. Additional credit top-ups are available for active subscribers.

Q: Can I undo an inpaint operation?
A: Each inpaint creates a new image. If you are not satisfied with the result, re-upload your original image, adjust the mask or prompt, and try again. You can also try a different model or resolution for different results. The clear mask button resets your mask for a fresh start.

Q: How do I get the best inpainting results?
A: For best results: paint the mask slightly larger than the area you want to change to give the AI blending room. Write specific, descriptive prompts. Use zoom for precise masking on small details. Choose Nano Banana Pro for highest quality or Nano Banana 2 Fast when you need quick iterations. Use 4K resolution for detailed work.

Q: Can I remove a photo stamp or watermark?
A: Yes. AI inpainting works as a photo stamp remover. Paint over the stamp or watermark with the brush tool and the AI reconstructs the image behind it. This works for date stamps, camera watermarks, social media logos, and any overlaid marks on photos.

Q: Can I change the color of an object using inpainting?
A: Yes. Paint over the object you want to recolor and describe the new color in your prompt (e.g., "red car," "blue dress," "white wall"). The AI changes the color while preserving the shape, texture, and shading of the original object.

Q: Can I add a person or character to a photo?
A: Yes. Paint an area where you want the person to appear and describe them in your prompt (e.g., "a woman in a red dress standing," "a child playing"). The AI generates the person with appropriate scale, lighting, and perspective to match the scene. For more control, use reference image inpainting to paste a specific person into the area.

Q: How do I remove a person from a photo?
A: Paint over the person with the brush tool. You do not need to type a prompt — leave it empty and the AI automatically fills the area with the background content behind them. For best results, paint the mask slightly larger than the person to give the AI blending room around the edges.

Q: Can I replace the sky in part of an image?
A: Yes. Paint over the sky area you want to change and describe the replacement (e.g., "dramatic sunset sky," "clear blue sky with clouds," "starry night"). Only the painted sky region changes — buildings, trees, and other elements remain untouched. This is useful for real estate photos, landscapes, and travel photography.

Q: Can I fix old or damaged areas of a photo with inpainting?
A: Yes. Inpainting is effective for repairing localized damage in photos — scratches, tears, stains, missing corners, or faded areas. Paint over the damaged section and the AI reconstructs what should be there based on surrounding content. For full photo restoration across the entire image, use the dedicated Restore tool.

Q: What happens if I paint outside the area I want to change?
A: Use the eraser tool in the toolbar to remove unwanted parts of your mask before processing. The eraser lets you correct mistakes and refine the mask edges. You can also use the clear mask button to start over completely. Zoom in for precision when working near edges.

Q: Can I use inpainting on illustrations or digital art?
A: Yes. AI inpainting works on any image type — photographs, illustrations, digital art, graphic designs, and screenshots. The AI adapts to the visual style of the image, generating content that matches the art style, line work, and color palette of the original.

Q: Can I inpaint the same area multiple times?
A: Yes. If the first result is not what you want, re-upload the original image, paint the same area again, and try a different prompt, model, or resolution. Each attempt generates a fresh result. You can also adjust the mask size or shape for different outcomes.

Q: Is AI inpainting good for removing acne or skin blemishes?
A: Yes. Paint over blemishes, acne, scars, or skin imperfections with a small brush. The AI blends the area with surrounding skin tone and texture for a natural result. Zoom in for precision and use a brush size just slightly larger than the blemish.
