Getting Started- Using the Prompt Field in Restore AI

The Prompt field lets you guide how your photo is restored or regenerated. Think of it as giving simple instructions to refine the result—whether that's correcting details, changing elements, or cleaning up distractions.

Key principle: Use clear, natural language. Short, direct instructions tend to work best.

Editing People
You can adjust how people look, including clothing, features, and even age.

Examples

"The man on the left is in the army, his uniform should be green."
"Change the eye color to blue for the last woman in the second row."
"Change the peoples ages to be in their 20's."
"Open the eyes of the man."

Tips

Be specific about position — use terms like left, right, front row, back row, etc.
Call out individual people when possible to avoid ambiguity.
Keep instructions focused — limit to one or two changes per sentence.

Editing the Background
You can modify or enhance the scene behind your subject.
Examples

"Blur the background."
"Replace the sky with a sunset."

Tips

Use simple descriptions like "blur," "soften," or "replace."
You can combine changes (e.g., blur + new sky), but keep wording clear.

Removing Distractions
Clean up unwanted elements to improve the overall image quality.
Examples

"Remove the construction scaffolding."
"Remove the lens flare."
"Remove the reflection on the glass."

Tips

Name the object directly — be explicit about what should be removed.
Avoid vague terms like "fix this"—specify exactly what should go.

Working with Text
You can add, remove, or modify text within the image.
Examples

"Change the name of the boat to 'Vacasa.'"
"Remove the text on the banners."
"Add the text label 'Battle of the Bulge' to the bottom right corner."

Tips

Use quotation marks for exact text you want to add or change.
Specify placement when adding text (e.g., "bottom right corner," "top left").

General Guidance
Best Practices

Keep prompts concise and specific — clarity improves results.
Focus on what to change, not how to do it — let the tool handle the execution.
Combine edits strategically — a good prompt might include multiple related changes.

Important to Remember

Each time you regenerate, the tool starts with the original photo, not the previous generation results. Keep all your edits in the prompt field.

Example of a Complete Prompt

"Blur the background, replace the sky with a sunset, and remove the scaffolding."

The clearer your instructions, the better your results. If you're not getting the desired outcome, try breaking down your edits and making your language more specific.
