## Steps
1. Sign up free — Create an account and verify your email — you get 25 credits. Adult edits are for users 18 and older.

3. Describe the change — Write one clear instruction and say what to keep: “Change the red dress to black velvet. Keep her face, hair and pose.”
4. Compare, keep private, download — Check the result against the original, switch on Private if you don't want it in the public feed, and download — no watermark.

## In depth

### How text-instruction editing works
Classic editors need masks and layers. Instruction-based editors take the image plus a sentence and redraw only what the sentence asks for. The idea was popularised by InstructPix2Pix in 2022, which trained a diffusion model on pairs of images and written edit instructions so it could follow a request like “make it winter” without per-image tuning [1].
Today's models go further: Seedream 5.0 Pro and GPT Image 2 accept several reference images at once, so you can put a person from one picture into the scene of another. When you need pixel-level control, a brush mask (Change Region in Edit Studio) limits the change to the area you paint.

### Getting edits that keep the face
Identity drift is the most common complaint. What helps:
- Say what must stay: “keep her face, hair and pose exactly the same”.
- Change one thing per run — outfit first, then background.
- Work at 2K when the face is small in the frame.
- Compare with the original before you download; run it again if the face has shifted.

### Open vs closed models for adult edits
Every closed model reaches Kenerate through its provider, and providers keep their own safety filters: GPT Image (OpenAI), Nano Banana (Google) and Seedream (ByteDance) may decline explicit edits even though Kenerate doesn't block adult themes. Open-weight models such as Flux 2 Dev, which is also on the free plan, follow the instruction more literally.

### Keeping adult edits private
Switch on Private in Advanced settings before you generate and the edit stays out of the public feed. Adult-flagged results show blurred in your own gallery grid, and results are deleted after 7 days unless you save them to the cloud — download what you want to keep. Only edit fictional characters or images you created yourself.

## FAQ
Q: Is there a free 18+ AI photo editor?
A: Yes, to start. A free Kenerate account gets 25 credits. Free-plan accounts can edit with Flux 2 Dev and Qwen Image 3.0; Seedream 5.0 Pro and GPT Image 2 need a one-time credit pack, and credits never expire.

Q: Is there an 18+ photo editing app to download?
A: There's nothing to install. Kenerate runs in your phone or computer browser — open kenerateai.com/app/image, upload a photo and type the change.

Q: What can I change with a text instruction?
A: Outfits, backgrounds, hair colour, lighting, time of day and art style, or add and remove objects. Edit Studio adds brush tools — Change Region, Magic Eraser, Remove BG, Upscale and more.

Q: Will the edit keep the face the same?
A: Usually, if you say so in the prompt (“keep her face, hair and pose”) and change one thing at a time. Seedream 5.0 Pro and GPT Image 2 hold identity best; always compare with the original.

Q: Which models work for adult edits?
A: Kenerate doesn't add an adult-content filter, but closed models — GPT Image, Nano Banana, Seedream — run their provider's own filters and may refuse explicit edits. Open-weight models such as Flux 2 Dev follow the prompt more freely.

Q: Can I edit a photo of someone else?
A: Not into sexual or nude content — that isn't allowed on Kenerate. Edit fictional characters or images you made yourself. Kenerate's filter also blocks prompts involving minors.

Q: Are my edits private?
A: Turn on Private in Advanced settings to keep an edit out of the public feed. Adult-flagged results show blurred in your gallery grid, and results are kept for 7 days unless you save them to the cloud.

Q: Does it add a watermark?
A: No. Free and paid edits download without a watermark.
