How to use AI background changing

A clear source image and a specific instruction give Step Image Edit 2 the context it needs for a controlled result.

  1. 01

    Add a source image

    Choose a clear image with the main subject visible. Start without an image only when you want to generate a new scene from text.

  2. 02

    Describe the exact change

    State what should change, what must stay intact, and the intended crop or format. Concrete constraints reduce unwanted edits.

  3. 03

    Review, refine, and export

    Check subject identity, text, edges, lighting, and composition. Tighten the prompt and generate again before downloading the final image.
