Edit by prompt

Edit by prompt is the most powerful and versatile tool of all. It lets you add and remove objects, retexture surfaces, change lighting and landscapes, and even shift camera angles.

There are no selection tools, so you have to describe changes using words. The instructions can be in any language, not just English.

Prompting and common use cases:

Prompt format

In general, your prompts should start with a verb (add/remove/replace/show/make etc.), describe the specific part of the scene you're referring to, and the expected change.

Example prompts

• Adding an object: "add a black linear pendant light above the kitchen island"

• Adding an object from a reference image: "add the armchair from the attached image on the left side of the sofa"

• Adding lights: "add strip lights under the cabinets"

• Removing an object: "remove the shrubs from the left side of the patio"

• Replacing an object: "replace the plant on the coffee table with a monstera in a clay pot

• Replacing an object with a new one from a reference image: "replace the dining chairs with the ones from the attached image"

• Changing textures: "replace the countertop material with carrara-style quartz"

• Changing textures based on a reference image material: "apply the material from the attached image to the roof"

• Changing the mood: "turn it into a dusk scene, soft window glow"

• Changing landscapes: change the cityscape to Marina Bay Sands"

• Shifting camera angles: "show the building from a bird's eye view"

• Matching materials: "make the front door the same material as the window frames"

• Shifting sunlight direction: "make the sunlight to be from behind the camera"

• Adding imperfections: "add some very small irregularities to the lawn"

Best practices

• Be specific with your descriptions. "Add a plant" might result in adding a random plant in a random location. "Add monstera in a clay pot by the wall on the right" will produce much better results.

• You can change multiple things at once in your render, as long as the editing instructions aren’t too complicated. Making changes one by one is more reliable though.

• If some elements of your scene are getting changed, be explicit in your prompt about keeping them unchanged, e.g. "...keep everything else unchanged" or "...maintain all other aspects of the original image".

• The tool doesn't "remember" your previous edits, so mentioning them in your prompts won't work.

• You can control the intensity of changes by adding words such as "slightly, very, etc.", e.g. "make the sofa color slightly darker."

• We recommend using the "enhance area" tool to improve people generated using the "edit by prompt" tool.

• To control the sunlight direction, mention it in relation to either the camera ("sunlight coming from behind the camera") or the main subject of the scene ("sunlight coming from the right side of the building").
