Editing in Photoroom gives you the flexibility to transform images exactly the way you want — whether you prefer fast AI-powered changes or precise manual control.


This article provides an overview of both approaches and what you can do with each.


Editing with AI

Photoroom's AI Tools let you create or change an image by using a text description (prompt) and a variety of settings.

With AI-powered editing, it's easy to:

  • Create a new image from a text description

  • Make changes to existing images

  • Add AI-generated backgrounds

  • Add AI-generated objects in your photos

  • Create realistic product photos

  • Make variant product images, with products shown in a different color and from different angles

  • Show products in realistic scenes

  • Show products in minimalistic studio-style shots

  • ... and much more!

There are dedicated AI Tools for creating different types of images, such as Virtual Model, Flat Lay, and Ironing for clothing and Recolor for changing the colors. You can find these in the AI Tools menu.

You can also edit images manually in the main editor, including images that you created with Photoroom's AI.

Note: AI features require AI credits.

Editing manually with image editing features

The Photoroom editor lets you make manual changes to your designs, so that you can edit with more precision.
