images and write the change you want in prompt. Use the same endpoint as for image generation. There is no edit mode, mask, or strength setting: the prompt says what to do with the images, whether that is changing a detail, restyling, or combining them.
How an edit request works
This edit changes one bird in a flock:
Combine several references
With more than one image, give each a role and refer to it by its position inimages. Here, image 1 is the subject and image 2 is the style:
aspect_ratio: "auto" follows the first reference, so the result is landscape like the temple. Put the image whose aspect ratio you want first, or set aspect_ratio. Multi-reference editing covers roles, ordering, and larger compositions.
When to use boxes
Start with a written instruction. Add box rows when several similar objects match the description, or when you need to specify a position or size. Boxes can identify an element in a reference and its intended position in the output.What an instruction can change
Each tab below sends the same input image with one instruction. The four edits are separate requests, not a chain.Guides in this section
