# Edit Image
> With ImagineArt’s Image Edit feature, you can guide the AI to make specific changes to your images using text-based prompts. Powered by the latest AI models.
## What is Image Edit?
**Image Edit** is an AI-powered tool designed to help you make detailed edits to your images through simple text descriptions. Whether you need to change lighting, adjust colors, remove unwanted objects, or even add new elements, Image Edit allows you to give specific instructions to the AI, which then generates high-quality results based on your prompts.
## How to use Image Edit
1. Open [ImagineArt](https://www.imagine.art/image) and select **Edit Mode**.
2. \*\*Add an image to be used as a reference: \*\*Upload the image you want to edit or simply drag it into the "+" box. This will serve as the reference for the AI to make edits based on your description.Choose an editing model from the options below.
3. \*\*Choose an image editing model: \*\*Select from various available models (e.g., **Nano Banana**, **Seedream v4**, **ChatGPT Edit**) depending on the level of detail and style you need.
4. \*\*Write the editing prompt: \*\*Now, write a detailed description of the changes you want to make. Be specific about what you want altered—whether it’s adjusting brightness, adding objects, or changing the composition.
5. \*\*Choose aspect ratio and generation settings: \*\*Select the aspect ratio (e.g., square, landscape, portrait) and any other settings that match your project’s needs.
6. \*\*Click Create: \*\*Once everything is set, click **Generate** to let the AI process your image and apply the changes based on your prompt.
Be specific in your edit prompt. Instead of "change the background," try "replace the background with a sun-drenched Tuscan vineyard at golden hour." Precision helps the AI understand exactly what you want.
