The problem

Image work breaks when every task lives in a different tool

A launch needs thumbnails, social cards, product crops, transparent cutouts, and style variants. When those jobs bounce between design files, background removers, upscalers, and prompt tools, the brand gets weaker with every handoff.

i.

Prompt tools do not know your brand.

The first image may look interesting, but the colors, typography, product framing, and campaign tone drift away from the rest of the launch.

ii.

Small cleanup work becomes a production queue.

Background removal, outpainting, upscaling, and ratio changes are simple asks, but they still slow teams down when each one needs a different app.

iii.

Images and videos split into separate worlds.

Teams create thumbnails, product cards, and social visuals outside the video system, then have to rebuild the same message and brand context again.

iv.

Every channel wants a different crop.

The same asset needs to work as a 16:9 thumbnail, a square social post, a tall story, and a clean product card without losing the subject.

Image Lab keeps generation, editing, cleanup, crop, and brand styling in one standalone studio.

The solution

Generate, edit, and clean up brand images

Image Lab understands prompts, uploaded images, brand direction, and output ratios in the same workspace. Create a new image, fix the parts that are wrong, remove the background, upscale the file, crop to the channel, and keep the asset on brand.

One prompt, upload, or rough image becomes a set of usable brand assets.

i

Start from a prompt or upload

Generate a fresh image, upload a teammate's asset, or reuse approved campaign context when you need a thumbnail, social graphic, or product card.

ii

Edit in natural language

Ask for inpainting, outpainting, element changes, background removal, upscaling, or a different visual style without rebuilding the file by hand.

iii

Export every ratio with the subject intact

Use semantic crop to create 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, or custom sizes while preserving the product, person, or key visual focus.

What makes it different

A real image studio, not a side panel in the video editor

Image Lab is for standalone visual assets. Use it when the output is a still image, a campaign graphic, or a polished source asset that may later feed a video.

Studio

Separate from the video pipeline

Open Image Lab when the job is an image, not a timeline. Generate and refine thumbnails, cards, social posts, and product visuals without creating a video first.

Edit

Natural-language image changes

Tell the agent what to fix: extend the background, replace an object, clean up text, change the style, or modify a specific region of the image.

Clean

Background removal and upscale

Turn low-resolution or cluttered source assets into cleaner, sharper files with transparent PNG support when the background needs to disappear.

Format

Semantic crop for every channel

Create multiple aspect ratios from the same image while keeping the subject, product, and important on-image text in the right place.

How it works

How Image Lab works

Use Image Lab like a focused production desk for still assets: prompt or upload, revise, clean, crop, and export.

Comparison

Image Lab compared with disconnected image tools

Most image tools solve one step. Image Lab keeps the prompt, edit, cleanup, crop, and brand direction together.

Capabilityngram Image LabPoint image toolsManual design workflow
Prompt image generation Generate inside a branded image workspace Often strong, but separate from brand context~ Requires prompts and manual import
Natural-language edits Inpaint, outpaint, and transform by asking~ Usually limited to one edit type× Manual masking and retouching
Background removal and upscale Clean and sharpen assets in the same flow~ Separate tools for each cleanup job~ Possible, but slow across many variants
Semantic crop to multiple ratios Crop while preserving the subject~ Mostly manual crop controls~ Designer chooses every crop
Brand-styled output Brand kit guides style, color, and tone× Brand has to be retyped or pasted Strong if a designer owns every asset
Fit with video campaigns Use still assets before or beside video work~ Exports must be carried into other apps~ Requires manual handoff and naming
