AI Photo Editing: Best Tools and Techniques

AI has revolutionized photo editing, making professional-quality edits accessible to everyone. Tasks that required expert Photoshop skills — like object removal, sky replacement, and portrait retouching — are now one-click operations.

Adobe Photoshop's Generative Fill

Photoshop's Generative Fill is the most powerful AI photo editing feature available. Select an area, describe what you want, and the AI generates photorealistic content that seamlessly blends with the rest of the image.

This feature alone is worth the Creative Cloud subscription for photographers and designers who need to modify images regularly.

Free AI Photo Editing Alternatives

If Photoshop is out of your budget, several free tools offer impressive AI editing capabilities. Clipdrop by Stability AI offers background removal, relighting, and upscaling. Fotor's AI features include one-tap enhancement, object removal, and style transfer.

For mobile editing, Remini excels at enhancing old or low-quality photos, and Lensa offers AI-powered portrait editing.
