The editing suite includes: Refine (inpainting — users brush over an area and describe a replacement via text prompt, launched March 2024); Extend (outpainting — expands an image to new aspect ratios by filling in surrounding areas, launched 2024); Remove Background (AI automatically detects and removes the background of an image, producing a transparent PNG); Replace Background (removes and replaces a background with a new AI-generated or solid-color scene); and Product Shot (users upload a product photo, the AI removes its background, and generates a new scene around it, launched November 2024). A 'Keep look and feel' (seed-locking) feature was added in February 2025. All tools are powered by a custom model built in partnership with Bria and are available on the iStock website and via API.
