Boogu Image Edit: AI Image Editor Online
Bottom line
Boogu AI image edit changes one photo from a plain-text instruction and keeps its shape, for a flat 3 credits. Open the Image Edit tool, select Boogu Image Edit, upload your image, and the exact credit cost appears before the edit runs.
Boogu Image Edit is the editing model from the open Boogu-Image-0.1 family (Apache-2.0), and on VdoBloom it is a low-cost way to change one photo with a sentence. Upload exactly one photo, write what should change (swap the outfit, replace the background, remove an object, restyle the picture, add a short line of English or Chinese text), and Boogu returns the edited photo in the same proportions. Each edit costs a flat 3 credits, about $0.15 at the Lite plan rate, and takes roughly 40 seconds.
It suits people who edit a lot of single photos and want the per-edit cost low: shop listings, social posts, quick fixes. Your 10 free signup credits cover three Boogu edits. A one-time 300-credit pack ($19.50, never expires) covers 100 edits; the Lite plan is $15 a month for 300 credits that reset each cycle.
It is edit-only: no text-to-image, no merging two photos. Below: the spec table, how the output size is decided, worked costs, the comparison with Muse Image, Seedream 5 Flash Edit and Flux Kontext Pro, where it runs, prompting notes and its known weak spots.
Boogu Image Edit specs at a glance
These limits come from VdoBloom's Boogu service and Image Edit configuration. The rule that matters most: one photo in, one photo out, in your photo's own shape.

How Boogu decides the output size
Boogu has no size or ratio menu because it draws over your photo at the photo's own size. VdoBloom prepares the photo first so every edit costs about the same to run, which is what lets the price stay at 3 credits. Each side is brought into the 512 to 2,048 pixel range and the whole image is held to about 1.5 megapixels, keeping the proportions.
| Your photo | What Boogu returns |
|---|---|
| 900 x 1350 portrait (1.2 MP) | Same size, unchanged |
| 4032 x 3024 phone photo (12 MP) | Scaled down to about 1414 x 1061 |
| Small 400 x 600 image | Enlarged so the short side reaches 512 px |
What Boogu costs: worked examples
Three credits per edit, flat. The dollar column uses the Lite plan rate ($15 for 300 credits, $0.05 a credit). On the one-time $19.50 pack an edit is about $0.20, and pack credits never expire.
| Edits | Credits | At the Lite plan rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | $0.15 |
| 3 (what the free signup credits cover) | 9 | $0.45 |
| 10 | 30 | $1.50 |
| 100 (what one 300-credit pack covers) | 300 | $15.00 |

Boogu vs Muse Image vs Seedream 5 Flash Edit vs Flux Kontext Pro
All four can change a single photo from an instruction and all are flat-priced. Boogu's place is a low-cost, one-photo editor that keeps your photo's shape and accepts long instructions. Muse is cheaper still but outputs a fixed 2K size and filters strictly. Seedream 5 Flash Edit and Flux Kontext Pro cost more and give you a ratio choice.
| Model | Credits | Input photos | Output shape | Content label |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Muse Image | 1 | 1 to 10 | Fixed 2K, auto picks the nearest of 8 ratios | STRICT |
| Boogu Image Edit | 3 | Exactly 1 | Your photo's own proportions | MODERATE |
| Seedream 5 Flash Edit | 4 | Up to 10 | 1K or 2K, chosen ratio | HOT |
| Flux Kontext Pro | 7 | Exactly 1 | 6 fixed ratios | MODERATE |

Where to run Boogu on VdoBloom
Boogu appears in the Image Edit model list as Boogu Image Edit.

How to word a Boogu edit
Describe one change in one sentence, and say what to keep: "Change the shirt to a navy linen shirt; keep the face, hair and background the same." For a new background, describe the place and the light: "Replace the background with a quiet beach at sunset, warm side light." For text, put the exact words in quotation marks and say where they go: "Write OPEN DAILY in white bold letters on the wooden sign." Keep text short; a few words render far more reliably than a sentence.
Two changes are better done as two runs (6 credits) than one long instruction. Because every edit is 3 credits, trying two or three wordings and keeping the best is cheap. Allow about 40 seconds per run when you plan a batch.
Limits and honest caveats
Boogu is an early release (version 0.1). Close-ups hold up better than group shots, small faces and complex poses can drift, and dense or small text is unreliable. It takes one photo only, so "put this product into that scene" jobs need a multi-photo editor such as Muse Image, Seedream 5 Flash Edit or Flux 2 Pro I2I. It cannot generate from text. Very large photos are scaled to about 1.5 MP before editing, so if you need a big print, upscale the result afterwards with the Image Upscaler. At about 40 seconds it is slower than several other editors on VdoBloom.
The MODERATE label means standard filtering; content VdoBloom prohibits is blocked on every model.
What creators use Boogu Image Edit for
- Swapping an outfit or a colour while keeping the pose, face and background.
- Replacing a cluttered background with a beach, an office or a plain studio backdrop for a listing photo.
- Removing a bin, a bottle or a passer-by from an otherwise good photo.
- Adding a short sign, label or caption in English or Chinese.
- Restyling a photo as a watercolour, comic panel or clay render at low cost per try.

Frequently asked questions
What is Boogu AI image edit?
Boogu Image Edit is the editing model from the open Boogu-Image-0.1 family. It changes one photo from a written instruction and returns it in the same proportions. On VdoBloom it runs in the Image Edit tool for 3 credits an edit.
How much does Boogu Image Edit cost?
3 credits per edit, whatever the photo size. That is $0.15 at the Lite plan rate. New accounts get 10 free credits, enough for three edits.
How many photos can I upload to Boogu?
Exactly one. Boogu edits a single photo; it cannot combine two pictures. For multi-photo jobs use Muse Image (up to 10) or Seedream 5 Flash Edit (up to 10).
What size is the edited image?
It keeps your photo's proportions. Photos with sides between 512 and 2,048 px and under about 1.5 MP come back at the same size; larger ones are scaled down first (a 4032 x 3024 photo becomes about 1414 x 1061) and very small ones are enlarged to a 512 px short side.
Can I choose an aspect ratio with Boogu?
No. There is no ratio or resolution setting because the output follows the shape of your photo. Crop the photo before uploading if you need a different frame.
How long does a Boogu edit take?
About 40 seconds. That is slower than several other editors on VdoBloom, so plan for it when editing a batch.
Can Boogu add text to a photo?
Yes, short English or Chinese text. Put the exact words in quotation marks and say where they go. Keep it to a few words; long or small text is a known weak spot of this early release.
Can Boogu generate an image from text only?
No, it is edit-only. For low-cost text-to-image, Muse Image is 1 credit and Seedream 5 Flash is 2 credits.
Is Boogu open source?
The model weights are published under the Apache-2.0 licence. On VdoBloom you do not need to install anything: VdoBloom runs it for you and you pay in credits.
Boogu or Muse Image for a single-photo edit?
Muse is cheaper (1 credit) but always outputs a fixed 2K size and filters strictly. Boogu (3 credits) keeps your photo's exact proportions, accepts instructions up to 9,000 characters and carries the MODERATE label, so it refuses fewer everyday edits.
