Quick answer
What is an AI image editor?
Kenerate AI is a free AI image editor that works with a prompt: upload a photo, describe the change — new outfit, new background, night to day, a different style — and the rest of the picture stays the same. A free account gets 25 credits, and seven models edit on the free plan, including Flux 2 Dev (3 credits an edit, so up to 8 edits) and Qwen Image 3.0. Seedream 5.0 Pro, GPT Image 2.5 and Nano Banana 2.1 use one-time credit packs. Edit Studio adds 14 tools such as brush-based Change Region, and downloads have no watermark.

FAQ
AI image editor questions
10 questions
What is an AI image editor?
An editor where you describe the change in words — new outfit, new background, different lighting — and AI makes it while keeping the rest of the picture. Instruction-based editing was popularised by InstructPix2Pix, and today's models also read several reference images at once. Kenerate adds Edit Studio brush tools for edits that must stay inside a boundary.
Link to this answerIs the AI image editor free?
Yes, to start. A free account gets 25 credits, and seven models edit images on the free plan: Flux 2 Dev, Flux 2 Klein, Flux 2 Flash, Flux 2 Turbo, Qwen Image 2.0, Qwen Image 2.0 Pro and Qwen Image 3.0. A Flux 2 Dev edit costs 3 credits, so the sign-up credits cover up to 8 edits; it isn't unlimited. After that, one-time packs start at $15 for 1,300 credits and never expire. Edited images download without a watermark.
Link to this answerWhat is the best free AI image editor?
On Kenerate's free plan, Qwen Image 3.0 makes the most precise prompt edits (about 10 credits with one photo, up to 3 images), and Flux 2 Dev is the cheapest at 3 credits an edit. Flux 2 Flash takes up to 4 images. For the best face and detail retention, Seedream 5.0 Pro needs a one-time credit pack. Downloads carry no watermark.
Link to this answerHow do I edit an image with a prompt?
Upload the photo, then write one sentence that says what to change and one that says what to keep — for example “Replace the beach with a Paris street at night. Keep the woman, her dress and her pose unchanged.” Pick a model (Flux 2 Dev or Qwen Image 3.0 on the free plan), generate, and edit the result again if one detail is off. For a change that must stay inside one area, brush it in Edit Studio.
Link to this answerWhich model is best for editing?
Seedream 5.0 Pro and GPT Image 2 keep faces and details best, and every before-and-after on this page is a Seedream 5.0 Pro edit at 2K. GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst take up to 16 reference images, Nano Banana 2.1 up to 14, and the GPT models are great with text. Flux 2 Dev and Qwen Image 3.0 are on the free plan.
Link to this answerCan I combine two photos?
Yes. Upload both and say which image gives what — “the woman from image 1 in the street from image 2” — then list what to keep, such as faces, pose and light. Seedream 5.0 Pro takes up to 10 images and GPT Image 2 up to 16. Refer to images by number every time, because the model changes whatever you don't pin down.
Link to this answerCan I edit just one part of a photo?
Yes. In Edit Studio, Change Region lets you brush an area and describe the change, so only that area is repainted and the image keeps its size. Magic Eraser removes whatever you paint over. Brush tools beat text edits when the change must stay inside a boundary, or when a small area keeps changing with a plain text instruction.
Link to this answerCan I edit photos of other people?
Only with their permission, and never to make explicit or misleading images of real people. Every before-and-after on this page is an edit of one of our own images. If you edit a photo of a friend or family member, ask them first, and switch on Private to keep the result out of the public feed.
Link to this answerDoes it add a watermark?
No. Edited images download without a watermark on free and paid credits alike, whether you used a text edit in the generator or an Edit Studio tool. You can finish in Edit Studio first — remove the background, upscale up to 8K or convert to JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF — and the file stays clean.
Link to this answerCan I use the AI editor without signing up?
Editing needs a free account, because every edit runs on credits tied to it — there's no anonymous mode. Sign-up is free and instant, a new account starts with 25 credits, and there's no subscription: after the starter credits you buy one-time packs that never expire. Downloads carry no watermark either way.

How instruction-based editing works, prompts that keep what matters, and when to use a brush.

How instruction-based editing works
Instruction-based editors were popularised by InstructPix2Pix, which trained a model to follow written edits like “make it snow” while keeping the rest of the image [1]. Today's models go further: they read several reference images at once and keep faces, clothing and composition steady when you tell them to.
How to edit an image with a prompt
The model changes whatever you don't pin down, so a good edit prompt has two parts — the change and the keep:
- Say what to change first, in one sentence: “Change her red satin gown to a black velvet gown with long sleeves.”
- Then list what to keep: “Keep her face, hair, pose, the staircase and the lighting exactly the same.”
- Name the new thing precisely — colour, material, time of day — rather than “make it better”.
- One change per prompt. For several changes, edit the result again instead of writing one long prompt.
- For two images, refer to them by number: “the woman from image 1 in the street from image 2”.
- If a small area keeps changing, switch to Change Region in Edit Studio and brush just that area.
Text edits vs brush tools
Text edits are fastest for whole-image changes — style, lighting, outfit, background. Brush tools in Edit Studio are better when the change must stay inside a boundary, or when you want to erase something without touching the rest. Starting from a blank page rather than a photo? The AI image generator is the better tool.
