Edit any photo with words — free AI photo editing
Type what you want changed — "add a golden sunset glow", "remove the stranger in the back", "make it look like a studio portrait" — and Magic Edit rewrites the photo. Brush over an area to change just that spot, or describe a whole-image transformation. Free to try, right in your browser.
BeforeAfter ✦Why switch to PixelGlows
Beyond background removal
Basic background removers cut subjects out — and that's it. Magic Edit changes anything you can describe: lighting, backgrounds, outfits, objects, mood. One tool instead of five.
Brush + words, not layers
Paint over the exact spot you want changed and type the edit. No masks, no layers, no Photoshop learning curve — the AI handles the blending.
Free to try, fair to keep
Guests get free Magic Edits every hour. Need more? Pay $0.99 per edit or go unlimited with Studio Pro — no forced Canva subscription.
Switching from another background remover
PixelGlows keeps the simple upload-and-done workflow you're used to — and adds tools most background removers don't have.
- Upload any photo — no account needed to try it.
- Type your edit in plain words, or brush over one area and describe the change.
- Download the result, or keep editing: each result can be the starting point for the next prompt.
- Automating your edits? The PixelGlows developer API includes 50 free calls a month.
How PixelGlows compares to remove.bg
remove.bg removes backgrounds — and stops there. PixelGlows is a remove.bg alternative that treats the cut-out as the first step: Magic Edit lets you relight, remove objects, swap scenes and restyle the whole photo with a text prompt and an optional brush. Guests can try it free every hour, and the developer API includes 50 free calls a month.
Questions
Is Magic Edit really free?
Yes — guests can run free Magic Edits every hour without signing up. Heavier use is $0.99 per edit with credits, or unlimited with Studio Pro.
How is this different from a basic background remover?
A basic background remover does one thing: cut out subjects. Magic Edit does that plus any edit you can describe in words — relighting, object removal, scene swaps, style changes — with an optional brush to target one area.
Do I keep the rights to my edited photos?
Yes. Your photos stay private unless you explicitly publish them to the PixelGlows gallery, and you can delete saved projects at any time.
Is there an API for Magic Edit?
Yes — the PixelGlows developer API uses a simple request format, includes 50 free calls a month, and bills per successful call after that. See the Developers page.
