What is an AI image editor?

An AI image editor is an online tool that uses artificial intelligence to edit photos based on text prompts. Instead of manually adjusting layers, masks, or sliders, you describe the change you want and the AI generates an edited image. Magic Hour's AI image editor works entirely in your browser with no software download or sign-up required.

How does the AI image editor work?

Upload a photo, type a text prompt describing the edit you want, and click Edit image. The AI analyzes your image, understands the prompt, and produces an edited version. It uses advanced image generation models to make realistic, natural-looking changes. No brushing, selecting, or masking needed.

What kinds of edits can I make?

You can remove or add objects, swap backgrounds, retouch portraits, change hair color, adjust lighting, apply artistic style transfers (anime, Pixar, sketch, cyberpunk, vintage, and more), add text or captions, and transform the overall mood of an image. The editor handles both subtle retouching and bold creative transformations through simple text prompts. To animate the finished image, download it and upload it to our image to video generator.

What image formats are supported?

You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, JP2, TIFF, and BMP files. Edited images can be downloaded as high-quality files optimized for web, social media, or print.

How do I write effective prompts for better results?

Start with one main change and identify its location. For example: "Remove the person on the left. Keep the other person and background unchanged." For product photos, specify which logo, label, shape and colors to preserve. Check the result before downloading: AI editing can change unintended details, and exact preservation is not guaranteed. See the full editor guide for more examples and troubleshooting.

Can I use my edited images commercially?

Yes. Paid subscribers, credit-pack customers, and customers with separately agreed paid usage-based billing arrangements hold full commercial rights to their edited images. You can use them for ads, social media, e-commerce listings, client work, and branding. Users without one of these paid arrangements can use outputs for personal, non-commercial purposes.

Is my data safe? Are my images stored?

Magic Hour does not use your prompts, uploads, or generated outputs to train AI models. Automated systems and contracted service providers process content only to provide, secure, and support the service. Magic Hour may use aggregated or de-identified usage data that excludes your prompts, uploads, and outputs to debug and improve the product. Magic Hour personnel do not routinely review customer content; authorized access is limited to support, security, legal, or policy needs. Retention varies by workflow, and you can delete saved assets from your account.

Can I use the AI image editor on any device?

Yes. The editor runs entirely in your web browser with no app download or installation needed. It works on desktop, tablet, and mobile across Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

How long do edits take?

Processing time varies by model, image resolution, edit complexity, and current demand. You can generate multiple variations and compare the results.
