Edit an image

Use a written instruction to change an image, select a particular area, or add space around its edges. Each result is a new image; the source stays available.

To start in a new chat, select the plus icon beside the message box, choose Attach files, and add an image. Ask Bearly for the change you want and send the message. The result opens in the image editor inside the conversation.

Edit from the image editor

1. Choose Edit image and a source

   Select Edit image in the action bar, then choose a thumbnail. Use Upload beside the strip to add another image. The selected source appears above the strip.

2. Describe the change

   Enter an instruction in What would you like to change? Name what should change and any details that should stay the same.

   Replace the daytime sky with a restrained pink-and-blue sunset. Keep the building, camera angle, and all signs unchanged.

3. Select a model to run

   Select Fast, Good, a featured or recent model, or a model in All models. Each click starts a separate result. You can try more models while earlier runs finish.

4. Choose a result to continue

   New images appear in the strip without replacing your working source or instruction. Select a result’s thumbnail when you want to use it for the next edit.

Refine suggests a revision to your instruction; Use this accepts it and Dismiss keeps your wording. Re-run repeats a selected result’s original instructions, model, and inputs. Choosing a model button uses your current instruction and selected source instead.

Change one area

Select Change area and choose the source image. Drag a rectangle over the area to change, or choose Select center. Enter the change you want, then select a compatible model to run it. To replace the selection, drag again; the × control clears it.

Choosing another image or switching actions clears the area selection. All models explains when a model does not support area edits.

Extend the edges

Select Extend edges and choose the source image. The editor shows space around all four edges. Describe what should fill that space, such as continuing the landscape or adding more room around the subject, then select a compatible model.

This action extends all four sides together. The final dimensions depend on the model.

Caution

Editing regenerates the picture. Even an area or edge edit may change details you wanted to preserve. Check faces, hands, text, product marks, proportions, and the edges around changed areas before using the result.

Inspect or recover an edit

Return to Edit image and select a result to use Copy image, Download, or View full size. On a computer, move over the image to reveal these actions; on touch devices, they remain visible. In the full-size preview, use the previous and next controls or press ← and → to move through the image strip.

• To change the source, select another thumbnail. Area edits need a new selection afterward.
• If model buttons are unavailable, check that you have a source, an instruction, and an area selection when needed. Open All models for compatibility explanations.
• If too much changed, return to the source and give a narrower instruction that names the details to preserve.
• If a source cannot be loaded, use Upload to add it again.
• For a failed or canceled run, select its thumbnail and Try again, or start a new attempt with another model. See Manage unfinished runs for cancellation and pending entries.
• If editing is unavailable throughout the chat, it may be read-only or image tools may be disabled by your organization.

To use several sources in one result, see Combine images. To start from a description, choose Create image or see Generate images.
