Real before & after

Change one part of the picture; keep the rest as the reference

Each pair changed only what was requested while the locked person or product guided the result.

The control other tools hide

You don't pick a model. You pick what survives.

Most img2img tools give you one abstract “strength” slider. We turn it into decisions a human actually makes.

Keep — hard constraints

Locked items become explicit model instructions — and a region mask when you paint one. The AI regenerates the whole image using your photo as the reference, so compare locked details with the original before you publish.

  • Face — it's still the same person. Identity reference plus face-region protection.
  • Subject — the product, pet or object keeps its shape, logo and key details.
  • Composition — pose and layout stay put via structure and depth control.
  • Text & Logo — the model is told to keep lettering and logos as they are; fine print can still change, so check it.

Change — creative freedom

One tap per intent. Each chip compiles into a structured instruction with the right negative constraints.

  • Style — anime, watercolor, film, 3D, oil paint and 40+ more.
  • Background — a new scene behind an untouched subject.
  • Outfit — swap clothing while the person stays the person.
  • Lighting — golden hour, studio, neon night, overcast.

Subtle

Light touch: tone, light, small edits. Routed to precise editing models.

Balanced

The default. Obvious change with stable identity and layout.

Creative

Big reimagining. Structure loosens — fine details may drift, on purpose.

Three steps

From photo to finished image in under a minute

Upload & auto-detect

Drop any JPG, PNG or WebP. We recognize portraits, products, sketches and interiors, and pre-lock what usually matters for that kind of image.

Lock, describe, set strength

Toggle what to keep, tap what to change, pick Subtle, Balanced or Creative. No denoising values, no seed numbers, no model menus.

Compare, download, iterate

Slide before/after, download free with no added visible watermark, then keep editing the result with plain language — no re-upload needed.

One-tap starts

Prompt templates that fill the tool for you

Tap any template — it configures keep, change and strength, then scrolls you back to the studio.

Complete guide

Edit part of a photo without Photoshop

Generative Fill in Photoshop lets you select an area and describe what should appear there. Keepframe offers a lighter browser version of the same idea: paint the region you want changed, or lock the face, subject, composition or text that must stay, then describe the edit in plain words. It needs no install and no account for the first result.

In short

Generative Fill Alternative on Keepframe: upload one photo, choose what must stay (face, subject, composition or text and logo) and describe the change. Your first standard result is free with no sign-up, no credit card, no app and no added watermark; after that it is 5 credits per image ($6 buys 10). The AI redraws the image using your photo as the reference, so compare locked details before you publish.

Generative Fill Alternative: what you get

Free to tryFirst standard (about 1K) result free as a guest — no sign-up, no credit card, no app download. Failed generations don't count.
After the free result5 credits per standard image. One-time packs: $6 for 50 credits (10 images) or $12 for 125. Plans: $9/month for 100, $19/month for 250; credits carry over.
WatermarkNo visible watermark is added. The model provider's invisible provenance mark (SynthID) is not removed.
How the original is keptLocks become explicit instructions to the image model (Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Image); a painted region becomes a mask. The image is regenerated with your photo as the reference. Exception: for background changes, "Keep subject pixels exactly" cuts your original subject out in your browser and pastes those pixels back unchanged — same price.
Best forQuick partial edits in the browser — a new background, an object change or a lighting fix — without a Photoshop subscription.
Not the right tool forPixel-exact compositing on layers, precise hair masks or large batches; Photoshop is better there.

What you can make

Replace a background

Lock the person or product and describe a new setting. Good for social, profile and ad images.

Change one object

Paint over the object and describe its replacement — a different chair, a new color for a jacket, a cleaner table top.

Fix lighting and mood

Keep composition and subject, then ask for golden hour, softer studio light or a night scene.

How to get a controlled result

A three-step workflow for Generative Fill Alternative

Upload one photo

Use the highest-quality version you have; the result follows the source closely.

Paint or lock

Paint the area to change, or switch on the locks for everything that must stay.

Describe and compare

Write the change in one sentence, generate, then compare kept areas against the original before you use it.

Prompt examples

Copy one as a starting point, then change only the details that matter to your image.

  1. Replace only the painted area with a mid-century wooden armchair; keep lighting and perspective consistent.
  2. Change the background to a bright minimalist studio; keep the person's face, hair and clothing.
  3. Remove the clutter on the painted table area and continue the wood surface naturally.
  4. Relight the scene as warm golden hour without changing the subject or composition.

Common problems and fixes

Use these checks before increasing change strength or adding more instructions.

Edges look soft. Paint slightly wider than the object and use Subtle strength.
The kept area changed. Turn on the matching lock and say exactly what must not change.
You need exact pixels. Use a layer mask in Photoshop or another compositor — generative editing redraws the image.

Honest limits

What AI still gets wrong — and what we do about it

No “100% accurate” promises. Here's the truth, and the workaround.

Faces can drift at Creative strength. If it stops looking like you, drop to Balanced or Subtle — Face lock works hardest there.
Hands and fingers remain the hardest thing in AI imaging. Keep them out of the change region when you can.
Tiny text and fine logos may blur or change. Turn on Text & Logo lock and compare them against the original before publishing.
Complex textures like lace, fur or micro-patterns can simplify. Subtle strength preserves them best.
Big scene swaps can nudge edges of the composition. Lock Composition and expect minor boundary shifts, not layout changes.
Failed generations happen. Timeouts and moderation blocks are labeled clearly and never consume your free quota.
FAQ

Questions, answered straight

Yes for quick edits: your first standard result is free in the browser with no sign-up, no credit card and no app. After that it is 5 credits per image ($6 buys 10). Photoshop is still better when you need layers and pixel-exact masks.

Yes. Paint a region to limit the change, or lock Face, Subject, Composition or Text & Logo so the model is told to keep them. The image is regenerated, so compare kept areas with the original.

No. Everything runs in the browser on desktop or phone.

No visible watermark is added. The model provider's invisible SynthID provenance mark is not removed.

Layer-based compositing that keeps original pixels untouched, precise hair masks and large batch workflows. Use Photoshop when every original pixel must survive.
