Quick answer
Inpainting is AI photo editing that regenerates a selected part of an image while leaving the rest untouched — removing an object, replacing a background, changing an outfit, or fixing a flaw. You indicate the region (or describe the change in text) and the model fills it with content that matches the surrounding lighting, perspective, and style.
Inpainting is the core mechanic behind most "AI photo editor" features: object removal, background swaps, sky replacement, and clothing changes are all the same operation pointed at different regions.
Modern instruction-based editors like Nano Banana have made the mask optional — you can simply write "remove the car in the background" and the model identifies and edits the region itself.
VdoBloom’s image edit tool works this way: upload a photo, describe the change in plain language, and generate the edited version.
VdoBloom starts you with 10 free credits — enough to put this into practice with no card required.
