Photo editing prompts that start with your photo.
Say what to change, what to keep, and how the result should look. Copy a starter below or open it in the editor, then adapt it to your image.
Plans start at $19/month. Three free edits after sign-up: your own uploaded photos, edited with Muse Image. Everything else needs a paid plan. Commercial use is included on paid plans.
A simple prompt structure
Change one thing. Keep specific details. Describe the light, color, or finish.
“Make it better” leaves the result open-ended. “Replace the background with a pale wall; keep my face, hair, and shirt unchanged; use soft window light” gives the editor a clearer job. Constraints help, but do not guarantee exact preservation.
Change a Photo Background with AI
Change the background of a photo with a short instruction. Describe the setting, light, and what should stay unchanged.
Replace the background with a warm, softly lit studio. Keep the subject, its shape, colors, and position unchanged. Match the shadows to the new setting.
Check: Inspect hair, glass, and other fine edges at full size.
See the guide with tested examplesChange a Photo Background to White
Replace a busy photo background with a simple white setting. Start with your image and a ready-to-use instruction.
Replace the background with plain white. Keep the subject, its shape, colors, and position unchanged. Remove surrounding objects. Keep only a subtle natural contact shadow beneath the subject.
Check: Check white and translucent objects for lost edges.

Start with a scan or a clear photo of your print. Ask for a restrained restoration that repairs wear while keeping the character of the original.
Restore this photo: repair scratches and fading, improve clarity, and preserve faces, clothing, composition, and the original black-and-white tones. Keep natural film grain. Do not invent details in damaged areas.
Check: Treat reconstructed detail as a guess, not recovered evidence.

If a result is close, change one instruction: “keep the new background, but soften its shadow.” If the subject has drifted, return to the original and make a smaller edit. For an old photograph, retain its grain and tones before trying a more creative variation.
These are suggested starting instructions, not a benchmark of model performance. Inspect your own result at full size, especially faces, labels, and fine edges.
