AI Image Generator and Photo Editor
Pixlr AI turns text and reference images into new pictures and photo edits. Describe a scene from scratch or change an uploaded photo to create product images, portraits, and illustrations for your next project.
Generate from an Image or Start with Text
Choose image to image when you have a subject to work with. Choose text to image when you want to define the entire scene yourself.
Build a scene from a description
Describe what belongs in the frame: a subject, a setting, and a visual style. For example, a ceramic teapot beside a rainy window calls for a different image than a flat illustration of the same object.
How to Edit Photos with the Pixlr Photo Editor
Direct the edit with a clear reference and a focused instruction, then choose the result that fits your purpose.
Upload the image you want to change
Use a clear photo with the important details visible. If you are creating from text instead, begin with a description and choose a canvas shape for your intended layout.
Explain the change and what to keep
Name the new setting, color, style, or object you want. Also identify what should remain, such as a jacket’s cut or a package’s shape, so the instruction has a clear focus.
Review, download, or edit again
Check the result against your reference. Download a version you like, or use it as a reference for another edit. Return to the original if a variation moves too far from your intended subject.
Give Each Reference Image a Clear Role
An image can guide the subject, the style, or the scene. Choose a model with the reference capacity and output controls you need, then explain how to use each input.
Keep the subject recognizable
Use a product or portrait reference to guide shape and appearance. Mention the details that define it, such as the handle of a mug or a character’s hairstyle, rather than asking to copy every part of the photo.
Borrow a visual treatment
A reference can guide a color palette, illustration style, or lighting mood. State that you want its visual treatment applied to your subject, so the example’s objects do not become the main focus.
Place a subject in a new scene
Provide a room or landscape as a setting reference when supported. Describe where the subject belongs and its scale, such as a lamp on the side table rather than somewhere in the room.
Explain how references fit together
With multiple-image support, identify the person, outfit, and location separately. A short instruction assigning those roles is easier to follow than several images with no explanation of their relationship.
Prepare Your Image for Its Next Use
Finish the composition here, then choose an image-processing tool for the file your layout needs.
Need a larger version?
Download the selected result and upload it to the image upscaler for 2× or 4× enlargement. This is useful when the composition works but the image needs more pixels for its placement.
Enlarge your imageUse background removal to isolate the subject already in your picture. Choose transparent image generation when you need a new sticker, illustration, or other standalone PNG asset.
Pixlr AI Image Generator FAQ
Practical answers about reference images, editing instructions, and the files you create.
How do I generate an AI image from an existing photo?
Upload the photo in image-to-image mode and describe the result you want. You can keep its subject while changing the surroundings or style, or use the image as a looser visual reference. Select the available output settings, generate, and compare the result with your source.
What should I write in an AI photo editing prompt?
Specify the change, the subject it applies to, and the details to retain. For example, ask for a warmer lighting treatment while keeping the product’s color and label. For another revision, focus on the part that still needs work instead of adding several unrelated changes.
Can I combine multiple reference images?
Yes, with a model that supports multiple inputs. Follow the upload limit shown for your selection and explain each image’s role. A portrait, a clothing reference, and a room photo can guide different parts of the same composition.
How can I keep the same person or product across edits?
Start each variation with a clear reference and repeat the defining details in your instructions. Compare facial features, proportions, product shapes, and markings across results. Reference images guide consistency, but generated edits still need review when those details matter.
Can I create an image with words or a product label?
Include the wording and explain where it should appear. A short title or label gives you a focused result to inspect. Check spelling, letter shapes, and placement before using the image; writing can change during generation or later edits.
How do I choose an aspect ratio and resolution?
Choose the aspect ratio for the placement: portrait for a vertical post, landscape for a wide layout, or square for a balanced tile. Resolution controls pixel dimensions. Use the options available for your selected model, considering the final display size and any crop you plan to make.
Can I use the Pixlr AI image generator for free?
Yes. Try free image generation with a written idea or edit a photo you upload. Use an initial result to explore the look, then refine your instructions for the next version.
