Inpainting lets you regenerate specific parts of an image while keeping the rest intact. This is useful for correcting details, replacing elements, or making creative changes without starting from scratch. How to use inpainting:
  1. Select an image on the canvas.
  2. Click the Edit area button in the top toolbar.
  3. Choose a selection tool: Lasso, Brush, Area, or Wand.
  4. Highlight the part of the image you want to change.
  5. Enter a new prompt describing the desired update.
  6. Click Recraft to apply the edit. The selected area will be replaced based on your prompt while the rest of the image stays the same.

Tips for better results

  • If the selected area is too small, the change may be subtle or unnoticeable. Select a larger area for more effective inpainting.
  • Inpainting works best on images resolutions of 1024 pixels or smaller. For larger images, Recraft automatically downscales before editing. The result will be returned at the supported resolution of 1024 pixels.
  • After multiple rounds of inpainting, image quality may begin to degrade. If that happens, try reverting to an earlier version and batch several edits together in a single step.
