Our Q4 release delivers powerful AI tools that give you more control and flexibility over your visuals than ever before. This release isn’t just about adding new features—it’s about creating a streamlined experience that saves you time and resources, while elevating the quality of your images. Now, you can use multiple AI transformations together to remove, refine, and reshape images faster than ever. Clean up your visuals, scale them up, or tailor your content for multiple channels and global audiences to get the exact results you need. 

Object Removal: Clean Up Your Images in Seconds

Say goodbye to visual clutter with our intelligent object removal feature. You can now refine product shots, polish marketing visuals, and remove distractions with just a few clicks. Simply draw a rectangle around the object, and let our AI handle the rest—creating clean, professional images with ease, all without time-consuming edits. 

Here are some of the creative ways our customers are using this feature:

Our real estate customers are erasing unwanted elements from property photos such as personal belongings, mismatching furniture, or a general mess so that potential buyers can focus on the space.

Companies that recycle user-generated content in their marketing are finding it easier to edit photos and align them with their brand by removing items that don’t fit their aesthetic.

E-commerce customers are keeping their product photos clean and focused by removing distractions to ensure the spotlight stays on the product itself.

AI Composability: Create More with Less Effort

AI Composability unlocks a smoother, more efficient editing experience by combining multiple AI tools in a single workflow. This flexibility allows you to remove and replace backgrounds, eliminate objects, create image variations, and upscale without switching between design platforms. These AI features work seamlessly together via our API or in our Image Editor:

  • Object removal makes it easy to clean up your visuals by removing unwanted objects.
  • Generative fill extends, fills, and recreates images with context-aware AI that makes smart, aesthetic decisions to “uncrop” or fill in the blanks of your visuals.
  • Background replacement allows you to change the backdrops of your images through simple prompts to keep your existing images fresh and dynamic for any creative need.
  • Background removal highlights the prominent feature of your images and removes the background noise.
  • Super resolution intelligently upscales images up to 4x for unparalleled clarity and detail without any manual work.

Imagine being an e-commerce brand with a product image that you need to use across multiple campaigns throughout the year. By using these features together, you can easily create new variations of that same image for seasonal promotions or different platform requirements without ever having to source or create new images.
