What AI lets me edit images using text prompts?
Mind Forge AI · Updated November 5, 2026
An instruction-based image editor lets you upload a picture and describe a change. Mind Forge AI supports text-directed editing and a separate local editing workflow for selected areas. Choose the workflow based on whether you want to alter the whole image or a specific object.
How to edit images with text prompts
- Upload the original image and describe the intended change with concrete nouns, colors and lighting.
- State what should remain: the person, product silhouette, camera angle or background. For a small replacement, select the area in the local editor.
- Compare the result with the original at full size. Make one focused revision at a time so it is easier to identify unwanted changes.
A prompt you can copy and adapt
Change the background to a softly lit grey studio. Keep the person’s facial features, hairstyle, clothing and pose. Match the new background lighting to the subject.
This is a suggested prompt, not a verified generation case study. Adapt it to your own source material.
Replace a background while keeping the subject
This is a workflow example, not a completed generation case study.
Prepare the source
Upload the original and specify both the desired background and what must remain unchanged. Keep the original file for a side-by-side review.
Choose the workflow
Use whole-image editing for a broad scene change. Use local editing with a selection when only a small object or region should change.
If the result goes wrong
Inspect hair edges, shadows and clothing patterns. If the subject changes, narrow the edit rather than treating a preservation instruction as a pixel guarantee.
Settings and costs you can check

Review the result and correct problems
Whole-image editing can alter details you asked to preserve. Local masking is more suitable when the boundary of the edit matters. Inspect edges, shadows and nearby text.
Costs and model selection
Reading this guide is free. Generation requires sign-in and sufficient credits. Costs vary with the model, output size, video duration and other settings. Review the workspace estimate before submitting; free browsing does not mean unlimited free generation. View pricing and credits
Will a prompt preserve every untouched pixel?
Do not assume that a general image-editing prompt preserves every pixel. Use the dedicated local editing workflow when preserving areas outside a selection is important.
