How to remix this template in Magic Hour
You can create your own version in a few minutes:
Open AI Image Editor
Go to the AI Image Editor.Upload a base image
Use a product shot, portrait, social post, or any reference image you want to transform.Describe your edit
In natural language, explain what you want changed. Examples:- “Remove the background and replace it with a modern office.”
- “Change the hoodie color to dark navy and add subtle studio lighting.”
- “Remove the person in the back, keep everything else the same.”
- “Turn this selfie into a professional LinkedIn-style headshot.”
Refine and iterate
- Generate multiple variants and keep the best.
- Re-run with slightly different prompts (“more cinematic”, “warmer colors”, “simpler background”) to dial in the look.
- Use the output as input for further transformations, or combine it with other Magic Hour tools.
Save and reuse as a personal template
Once you have a look you like, reuse the same prompt pattern with different images to create a consistent, repeatable workflow.
Example use cases (and how to build them)
1. Clean, consistent product photos
- Upload a raw product shot
- Ask the AI Image Editor to:
- Remove the original background
- Place the product on a neutral gradient, lifestyle scene, or flat color
- Enhance lighting and contrast while preserving product details
- Reuse the same prompt across an entire catalog to keep branding consistent.
Pair this with:
- AI Image Upscaler to increase resolution for marketplace or print
- Thumbnail Maker for YouTube, listings, or ads
2. High-quality social and ad creatives
Turn any raw image into polished creative:
- Start with a basic photo (your product, a founder, a customer scenario)
- Use the AI Image Editor to:
- Swap backgrounds (office, studio, outdoor, abstract)
- Add or remove props (laptops, phones, signage)
- Align lighting and color grading with your brand style
Then:
- Generate matching variations for A/B tests using the same prompt pattern
- Use AI Meme Generator or AI GIF Generator for attention-grabbing formats
3. Better profile photos, avatars, and team headshots
Start with any selfie or casual photo and turn it into something more polished:
- Upload a face photo
- In AI Image Editor, describe the new look:
- “Neutral studio background, soft lighting, business casual outfit.”
- “Cartoon-style avatar with similar face, simple colored background.”
To go further:
- Generate entirely new portraits with the AI Headshot Generator
- Create stylized avatars via the Avatar Generator or AI Face Generator
- Use AI Face Editor for subtle face adjustments
4. Content and brand experiments for startups
Founders and marketers can use this template as a rapid visual experimentation workflow:
- Upload a product screenshot or interface mockup
- Replace the background with different contexts: “startup office”, “conference stage”, “dark mode workspace”
- Quickly test visual narratives: product in use, hero shots, lifestyle imagery
- Reuse the same prompt structure whenever you update your product or messaging
Combine with:
- AI Image Generator or AI Art Generator to produce net-new concepts
- AI Background Generator for branded scene backdrops
- Comic Book Generator or Album Cover Generator for campaign-specific visuals

Tips for stronger edits and reusable “mini-templates”
You can treat your prompts as reusable mini-templates. A few practical patterns:
- Style + subject + purpose
- “Minimalist, high-contrast product photo of [subject] for a SaaS landing page hero section.”
- Lighting and mood
- “Soft studio lighting, warm tones, clean tech aesthetic.”
- Platform-aware
- “Mobile-first social ad creative, framed for vertical viewing, clear subject, simple background.”
Save these patterns somewhere you can quickly copy/paste, then just swap in the subject or context each time.
