Photopea offers a Magic Replace tool that uses AI to replace a selected area of a photo with new content generated from a user-supplied text prompt. The feature was launched in May 2023 and is available to all users, with heavier use requiring premium credits.
Details
Magic Replace accepts a user-drawn selection on an image and an optional text prompt as inputs. The AI then generates new visual content matching the prompt and blends it seamlessly into the selected area. This is comparable to Adobe Photoshop's generative fill feature. The underlying AI is powered by Dezgo and uses generative models. Free users can access it by watching ads; premium subscribers use AI credits (3,000 per month). Photopea announced interface and model improvements to the tool in 2024.
