Free AI photo editor

Free online AI image editor. Remove backgrounds, erase objects, upscale, vectorize, convert formats, or edit by prompt — every tool in Recraft Studio. Production-ready on first pass.

Trusted by designers at

Remove or replace any background

Cut a clean subject from any photo or design with the AI background remover. Transparent PNG, brand-color fill, or a new generated backdrop — pick what fits the asset and keep editing on the same canvas.

Erase unwanted objects from a photo

Recraft's AI eraser removes people, props, signs, and stray pixels, then fills the gap so the edit reads as untouched. Best used when you need a clean shot from imperfect source material.

Upscale image quality and resolution

Push images up to 4K resolution without softening detail. The AI image upscaler sharpens edges, recovers texture, and gets visuals ready for hero banners, product shots, and large-format print.

Edit a photo with a natural language

Describe the change in plain language. The natural language image editor interprets the edit and renders it on the same canvas.

Convert image file formats

Need a different file type? The image converter swaps JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF, and TIFF in seconds.

Vectorize an image to SVG

Convert PNG or JPG into editable vector paths with the SVG converter. Logos, icons, and illustrations stay crisp at every size.

Recolor, outpaint, crop

Recolor a palette to match brand guidelines, outpaint to extend the frame for a new aspect ratio, or crop image. The fundamentals stay one click away — useful when you're not redoing the shot, just finishing it.

How the AI photo editor works

Three steps from source image to production-ready asset — free, online, in Recraft Studio.

1

Upload or generate.

Drop a photo into Recraft Studio, or start from a text prompt with the AI image generator. Both land on the same canvas.

2

Edit endlessly.

Remove backgrounds, erase objects, upscale, vectorize, convert formats, or edit by prompt — every tool sits on the side panel.

3

Download in any format.

Export as PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, or WebP. Production-ready.

FAQ

What is an AI photo editor?

An AI photo editor uses machine learning to handle complex edits — background removal, object erasing, upscaling, vectorization, format conversion, and prompt-based edits — in seconds, often in a single click. Recraft brings all of these tools onto one canvas in Recraft Studio.

Which photo edits can I make with Recraft?

Remove or replace backgrounds, erase unwanted objects, upscale to print-ready resolution, vectorize raster images to SVG, convert formats, edit by prompt, recolor palettes, outpaint to extend the frame, and crop — all from the same canvas.

Is Recraft's AI photo editor free?

Yes. A free Recraft account includes up to 30 image generations and edits per day, with no watermarks. For higher daily limits and commercial rights, see Recraft pricing.

Do I need design experience to use the AI photo editor?

No. Each tool is one click or one prompt away. The canvas walks you through the workflow with built-in instructions and how-to videos, and the output is production-ready without manual touch-ups.

Which file formats does the AI photo editor support?

Recraft imports JPG, PNG, WebP, PDF, TIFF, and SVG, and exports the same formats plus Lottie.

Can I edit photos with a prompt instead of clicking tools?

Yes. Describe the change in plain language and run it through Recraft's natural language image editor — without leaving the canvas.

Can I use edited photos for commercial work?

Yes, on paid plans. Free accounts include up to 30 generations and edits per day with non-commercial use; paid plans add commercial rights and higher daily limits. Full details on Recraft pricing.

Does Recraft have an API for AI photo editing?

Yes. The Recraft API exposes background removal, image upscaling, vectorization, and image-to-image editing for production workflows.

Which is the best AI photo editor?

The best AI photo editor depends on the job: background removal, object erasing, upscaling, vectorization, format conversion, or prompt-based edits. Recraft brings all of these into one canvas, with output that's consistently close to production-ready — less iteration than tools that only do one thing well.
