Give images a studio-grade edit — simply by asking AI
Advanced image editing. No experience needed.
Detailed photo edits using simple text prompts
Built for beginners with limited editing experience and pros who want a faster workflow, simply ask Kapwing's AI to edit your image in seconds.
With auto-prompt enhancements, speak to our assistant like you're asking a friend, or use technical camera directions like a photographer — the AI adapts to both for maximum results.
Each AI edit is photorealistic, matching your original upload and preserving subtle style details for consistent results.
No limits. Just creativity.
Make subtle fixes like removing glare or correcting closed eyes, add accurate text in complex fonts, or go bold with dramatic style changes — from oil painting to line art or turning real photos into 3D cartoons.
Whether you're designing for marketing, education, or just unhinged fun, Kapwing’s online Image Editor offers unlimited artistic styles to match your goals.
Graphic design at your fingertips
Generate and customize detailed graphics, from posters to illustrations, with editable text, icons, logos, and image design elements.
Edit history allows you to view past versions, helping all creators save time, avoid 'editing' frustration, and create polished images with the skill of a graphic designer.
From idea to final image — instantly
With an AI Image Generator built into the editor, you can create images from scratch using simple text prompts.
Update, enhance, edit, or imagine entirely new visuals for adverts, marketing campaigns, and branded content.
And once you’ve landed on a favorite edit — whether it’s a signature aesthetic or branded effect — you can save it as a Custom Kai for reuse anytime.

What image file types does Kapwing support?

What is Text to Image and Image to Image?
Kapwing supports both Text to Image and Image to Image.
Text to Image means generating an image from scratch using only a written prompt. For example, typing “a sunset over a mountain lake in watercolor style” will produce a brand-new image based on that description.
Image to Image means transforming or editing an existing image with AI. Upload one or more photos, then use prompts to change styles, adjust details, or merge elements
What makes a great AI image prompt?
Use natural language to edit your photo — start with clear verbs like “add,” “make,” “write,” “remove,” “combine,” or “give.”
For best results, apply edits one at a time. AI performs more accurately when given specific, singular instructions. For example, if you want to remove the background and add a logo, submit each request separately.
If you're not sure what to write, Kapwing’s AI Assistant can help refine your prompt. You can also explore our AI image prompt guide for more tips and examples.
