Adapt one of these editing instructions to your own uploaded photo.

IMAGE EDITING QUESTIONS

ChatGPT Photo Editor FAQ

Everything you need to know about reference editing, credit consumption, and rights.

Is the ChatGPT image editor free to try?

New accounts receive 12 starter credits upon signing in with Google, to try image generation and editing. Try one square low-quality generation or photo edit without signing in, with at most one reference. This is one shared trial, not one of each. Usage and capacity limits apply.

Can I edit only one part of a photo?

Describe the element to change and the details to preserve. This is reference-based editing, not a brush-mask tool. Inspect the rest of the image because other details can change.

Can the editor keep the same face?

A clear reference and focused instruction can help preserve a subject. Identity consistency is not guaranteed, so compare facial details with the original after each edit.

Does a failed edit use credits?

Confirmed failed tasks return reserved credits automatically. Uncertain provider results stay held while their status is checked. Avoid submitting a new task just because the first one is taking longer.

Can I use an edited image commercially?

Check permissions for your references and rights in the output. ImgKick does not guarantee uniqueness, copyright ownership or clearance of third-party rights. Review the Terms before commercial use.

How does the ChatGPT photo editor use my uploaded image?

Your photo is a reference for the next image. Describe what should change and what should stay. The result is a new output, so compare it with the original before using it.

Can I change a background without changing the product?

Upload the product photo, request the new setting, and specify which shape, label and colors to preserve. Check those details in the result; reference editing cannot guarantee an unchanged product.

What file types can I upload to the ChatGPT photo editor?

Upload a PNG or JPEG reference. The workspace accepts up to four references for eligible signed-in edits; the free guest preview accepts one. Check the upload control for the current size limit.
