How it works

  1. Upload your press photo

    Drop the photo for your press release or media kit—founder headshot, product shot, team photo, or event image. Phone photos, casual shots, anything that needs publication quality.

    Expect: Simple enhancements: 20-30 seconds. Complex transformations: may need refinement.
  2. Describe publication quality needed

    Type 'create publication-quality professional photo for press release' or 'remove clutter and enhance for media use.' The AI understands media context—'make it look trustworthy for journalists' or 'professional enough for major publications.'

    Tip: Journalists prefer authentic photos over overly polished ones—aim for 'professional' not 'perfect.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Founder headshot for press release create publication-quality professional headshot, remove messy background, enhance for media use
    Product photo with amateur background remove cluttered background, create clean professional product shot suitable for publication
    Event photo with casual phone quality enhance quality and professionalism for press coverage, make it publication-worthy
    Team photo for company announcement create professional team photo suitable for business press, clean background and lighting
    2 more prompts
    Low-resolution web photo for print media enhance resolution and quality for print publication use, improve sharpness and detail
    Promotional photo with branding remove excessive branding and promotional elements, create neutral press-worthy photo
  3. Review for media credibility

    Check that background is professional and relevant. Verify lighting looks natural. Ensure nothing looks fake or heavily edited. Journalists spot over-processing and may reject photos.

  4. Download high-resolution for media

    Save at highest quality (300 DPI minimum for print publications). Include photo credit and caption in your media kit.

    Tip: Provide multiple versions: horizontal and vertical crops for different publication layouts.

Quick answers

How specific should my prompt be to get a good Fix photos for press releases result on the first try?

One sentence is usually enough: 'Fix and improve this photo.' If the first result is off, refine with details — color, position, lighting, or what to keep. Each pass takes 20-45 seconds and runs separately, so you can compare. Free first edit per week, no signup.

What makes a press photo acceptable to journalists?

Journalists look for: (1) Professional quality without looking fake, (2) Clean backgrounds without clutter, (3) High resolution (300 DPI for print), (4) Neutral presentation without promotional elements, (5) Authentic representation (not heavily manipulated). They prefer real photos that look professional over obviously synthetic perfect images.

Can I use AI-enhanced photos in press releases?

Yes, with transparency. Removing backgrounds, fixing lighting, and quality enhancement are standard practice (photographers do the same). Don't misrepresent reality—adding fake elements, manipulating context, or creating false representations breaks journalism ethics. Enhancement to present reality professionally is fine, fabrication is not.

What resolution do press photos need?

Print publications need 300 DPI minimum. Online-only outlets can use lower resolution (150-200 DPI). Provide the highest resolution you can—publications often crop or resize. Include file specs in your media kit so journalists know what they're getting.

Should I remove all branding from press photos?

Remove promotional elements (sale tags, NEW badges, price callouts). Keep subtle branding if it's part of the story—company logo on building, product packaging. Publications want neutral photos, not ads. When in doubt, provide two versions: neutral and with branding, let journalists choose.
