Step1X Edit
Step1X Edit is a powerful AI-powered image editing model that modifies images based on simple text instructions. Describe what you want to change — hair color, clothing, background, objects — and the model applies precise, targeted edits while preserving the rest of the image.
Why It Stands Out
- Instruction-based editing: Edit images using natural language commands.
- Precise modifications: Changes only what you specify, preserving everything else.
- Prompt Enhancer: Built-in AI-powered prompt optimization for better results.
- Negative prompt support: Exclude unwanted elements for cleaner outputs.
- Fine-tuned control: Adjust guidance scale and inference steps for precise results.
- Affordable pricing: High-quality edits at just $0.03 per image.
- Reproducibility: Use the seed parameter to recreate exact results.

Pro Tips for Best Quality
- Use clear, specific instructions — "Change hair color to red" works better than "Make it different."
- Keep instructions focused on one or two changes at a time.
- Use negative prompts to prevent unwanted side effects.
- Lower guidance scale (2–4) for subtle changes, higher (5–7) for more dramatic edits.
- Fix the seed when iterating to compare different instructions on the same base.
Notes
- Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
- Processing time varies based on current queue load.
- Please ensure your content complies with usage guidelines.
