Freepik Retouch: Edit your AI images with real-time inpainting

AI is the greatest multitasker, we get it. It seems like there’s nothing it can’t do, right? Well, almost. AI has revolutionized the digital creation game, but even the most perfect creation sometimes needs a bit of a touch-up. 

It all starts with a prompt, right? Well, there’s no prompt that covers an entire image unless you’ve got the Midas touch with AI. There’s always something a bit off or just out of place in those images. That’s where a little extra touch is needed—and that’s why Freepik Retouch has now taken the lead in making real-time AI photo inpainting a thing. 

Let’s take a look.

The AI every AI needs

Retouch is the newest leap forward in editing. It does exactly what it promises: retouching. It changes what you don’t like, removes what’s extra, and adds what’s missing. Sounds easy, right? You might think it’s aimed only for pros, but the truth is, anyone can use this tool.

Image editing has been around for decades, but traditional photo retouching can be a real challenge. Retouch is here to speed up the process without sacrificing quality. It’s like giving AI a boost with even more AI. You might wonder how that works without getting too paradoxical. Think of it like this: instead of the AI making decisions for you, it’s more like an assistant, giving you more control and making everything easier.

How easier? You may ask. Here’s how it works.

Inpainting made easy for everyone

It all starts with you deciding what you want to tweak. Grab the lasso tool for the big, obvious stuff, or the brush for the tiny, nitpicky details. Once you’ve selected the area, just type in what you want to change or add. Want to remove something? Just leave it blank. The command is understood!

Then, the change comes alive in real time. Retouch gives you a bunch of options to choose from. You just pick the one that looks best, and bam—your image is transformed. Repeat this process as much as you need until you have the picture you envisioned.

Common fixes with Freepik Retouch

We’ve already seen how versatile and easy this tool is. And you might be wondering what you’d even want to edit in an AI-generated photo. Well, we believe that even the most perfect photo has room for improvement. 

Let’s look at some common editing challenges that usually take forever but can be done in a click with Retouch.

Changing facial expressions

Make sure everyone in the image is smiling for that perfect shot. Select the brush tool, highlight the faces, and prompt the expression you need. It’s a quick way to ensure everyone looks the way you need.

Try changing clothes or hairstyles too!

Adding decorative elements

Enhance room photos with stylish decor like paintings or plants. Lasso over the area, describe the decor you want, and see it instantly added. It’s an easy way to add some flair to your AI images.

Creating hot food effects

Make your food photos look more appetizing by adding steam to hot dishes. Select the dish with the brush, prompt the steam effect, and voilà—steamy deliciousness.

Removing unwanted objects 

Eliminate distracting elements from your creations. Simply lasso the object and it’s gone in a click. It makes your images look cleaner and more polished.

Adding clouds to city photos

Give your cityscape photos a dramatic touch with some cloud cover. Highlight the sky with the brush, prompt for clouds, and see the sky transform.
