How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour
You can recreate or adapt this template inside Magic Hour using the AI Image Editor in a few steps:
Open the AI Image Editor
Go to the AI Image Editor and upload the photo you want to transform (product, selfie, team photo, banner, etc.).Define Your Goal Clearly
Before editing, decide what this image is for:- Performance ad creative (Meta, TikTok, Google)
- Hero image or section art for a landing page
- Slide or deck visual for a pitch or investor update
- Social content (LinkedIn carousel, Twitter/X graphic, Instagram post)
A tight goal will help you make sharper decisions about what to remove, add, or emphasize.
Remove or Clean Up Distractions
Use the editor to erase:- Cluttered backgrounds
- Random objects or people
- Watermarks or overlapping UI elements
- Text that needs to be replaced
For heavier cleanup tasks, pair this with:
Replace or Enhance the Background
Turn a plain or messy photo into a polished scene that matches your brand or campaign.
Combine AI Image Editor with:- AI Background Generator for custom scenes
- Image Background Remover to isolate subjects
- AI Interior Design Generator for product-in-room or lifestyle visuals
- Architecture Generator for buildings, exteriors, or urban scenes
Once you’ve generated or cleaned a background, use the editor to seamlessly blend your subject into it.
Add On-Brand Elements and Details

- Product packaging variations or label concepts
- Merch, apparel, or outfit ideas with AI Clothes Changer or AI Fashion Generator
- Icons, badges, or callouts designed via AI Icon Generator or AI Logo Generator
If you don’t have assets yet, you can generate them first with the AI Image Generator or AI Art Generator, then compose everything together in the Image Editor.
Improve Quality, Sharpness, and Consistency
After you’ve done structural edits, finish with quality passes:- Sharpen and upscale using AI Image Upscaler
- Unblur key details with Unblur Image
- Restore or colorize legacy assets with Old Photo Restoration and Photo Colorizer
