Any aspect ratio
Subject taking a spontaneous selfie on a rooftop terrace at golden hour, holding the phone at a slightly raised angle against a vivid sunset sky in coral, amber, and soft violet. Wearing an open black linen shirt over a white ribbed tank, paired with high-waisted cream wide-leg trousers. Dark hair loose and wind-tousled, backlit into a soft glow. Gold pendant necklace and rings catching warm light. Rooftop setting with terracotta planters, string lights, and a low concrete edge overlooking a city skyline in silhouette. Natural wide-angle feel, face softly lit by reflected sunset light, warm cinematic atmosphere.

Best practices when using AI Image Editor for object removal
Work from the highest-resolution source available
Better input resolution gives the model more context and usually cleaner, more realistic fills. If needed, run your image through AI Image Upscaler first.Remove the largest, most disruptive elements first
Big objects affect lighting and geometry. Clean those up before fine details like wires or small logos.Check edges, reflections, and shadows
For product or portrait work, zoom in to verify that edges, reflections, and shadows look consistent. If something feels off, regenerate.Respect rights and consent
Use this template on assets you own or have rights to. When removing people or brands from images, ensure this aligns with your agreements, platform policies, and local regulations.
When to choose this template vs other Magic Hour tools
Use this AI Image Editor template when:
- You want to keep the original style and lighting as much as possible
- You need “invisible” edits that look like the photo was shot that way
- You’re doing precise cleanup rather than full restyling
Consider starting instead from:
- AI Background Generator if you want a completely new setting
- AI Art Generator or AI Illustration Generator if you want stylized or illustrated outputs
- AI Face Generator or Avatar Generator if you’re creating entirely new identities rather than editing existing photos
Use this template as a reliable building block in your production workflow: remove what doesn’t belong, keep what matters, then connect it with the rest of Magic Hour’s tools to go from raw asset to finished creative in a single environment.
