How it works

Upload your car photo

Drop your automotive image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Exterior shots, interior details, and engine bay photos all work. The car should be clearly visible and well-framed.

Expect: Simple edits like background swap: 30-40 seconds. Complex fixes like paint enhancement plus background plus reflections: 45-60 seconds and may need refinements.
Describe the edit you want

Type your instruction: 'replace background with clean studio showroom' or 'enhance the paint to look glossy and freshly waxed.' Be specific about what you need. No marking needed—the AI understands automotive terms like 'paint', 'wheels', 'headlights', and 'interior.'

Tip: Mention the car's color for better results: 'make the red paint look deep and glossy' guides the AI to enhance the specific paint finish.

Copy one of these to get started:

Showroom background for listings replace background with a clean grey studio showroom floor and backdrop, keep natural car reflections
Try This →

Enhance paint and finish enhance the car paint to look deep, glossy and freshly waxed, bring out the metallic flake
Try This →

3 more prompts

Dramatic car photography look give this car photo a dramatic automotive look with moody lighting, deep shadows, and cinematic color grading
Try This →

Interior detailing photo enhance this car interior photo, make the leather look rich and clean, improve the dashboard lighting
Try This →

Remove scratches and minor damage remove the visible scratches and minor paint chips from the car body, blend the repair naturally
Try This →
Review the result

Check that paint reflections look natural, body lines are preserved, and details like badges, wheels, and trim are intact. Zoom in on complex areas like grilles, mirrors, and window edges.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific areas like wheel rims, chrome trim, or body panel reflections need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most car photo edits produce clean results on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—cars with clear outlines against distinct backgrounds rarely need them.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which part of the car you meant from description alone. This happens when the car blends with a similarly colored background.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS part specifically.' Use them when the car color is close to the background color.

Car body lines or proportions look distorted

Why: Background replacement can shift the perspective if the AI interprets the car shape differently in the new setting.

Try: replace background but keep the car shape and proportions exactly as in the original photo

Try This →

Tip: 'Keep proportions exactly' prevents the AI from adjusting the car's perceived shape to match the new scene.

Reflections on the car look wrong after background change

Why: The original background reflections on the car body don't match the new studio or outdoor background.

Try: replace background with studio showroom and update the reflections on the car body to match the new environment

Try This →

Tip: 'Update reflections to match' tells the AI to recalculate car body reflections for the new setting.

Wheels or chrome trim look flat after editing

Why: The AI enhanced the paint but treated shiny metallic surfaces the same way, removing their natural sparkle.

Try: enhance the car paint but keep the chrome trim and wheels with their natural metallic shine and reflections

Try This →

Tip: Separate paint and chrome in your prompt—they need different treatments for realistic results.

License plate or badges are blurred or changed

Why: The AI interpreted small text and emblems as part of the background or as artifacts to clean up.

Try: keep all badges, emblems, and text on the car exactly as they are, only change the background

Try This →

Tip: If you want to blur the plate intentionally, say so: 'blur out the license plate for privacy.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the car before describing the edit I want?
