image-to-image AI / Step Image Edit 2
Image-to-image AI for controlled transformations
Use an existing image as visual context, then guide the transformation with text. Step Image Edit 2 can retain the important structure while changing the scene around it.

How to use image-to-image AI
A clear source image and a specific instruction give Step Image Edit 2 the context it needs for a controlled result.
- 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.
- 02
Describe the exact change
State what should change, what must stay intact, and the intended crop or format. Concrete constraints reduce unwanted edits.
- 03
Review, refine, and export
Check subject identity, text, edges, lighting, and composition. Tighten the prompt and generate again before downloading the final image.
