Get started

Open your browser and go to AIE AI Object Replacer. Upload your own image or try a free sample provided by the site. AIE supports JPEG, JPG, PNG, BMP, and WEBP file formats.

Click Upload and choose your image, or select a sample to test it out. Pick the editing mode that fits your workflow. You will see two tabs on the left side labeled Auto and Manual.

Auto mode

The Auto mode is text prompt based. In the Search for box, type the object you want to remove like lamp, dog, or tree. In the Replace with box, type what you want the AI to generate in its place like vase, cat, or bush.

Click Generate and give it around 10 seconds to process. AIE will return multiple options. Pick your favorite or click Generate more if you are not happy with the result.

Example prompts you can paste:

search_for: "lamp"
replace_with: "vase"

search_for: "dog"
replace_with: "cat"

Manual mode

You can also try the Manual mode if you want more control. Click Try manual or manually select the Manual tab at the top. This mode lets you mark the exact area to replace before prompting.

Selection tools

Use the Brush tool with an adjustable brush size for precise selection. Paint over the object until it is fully covered. If you prefer, switch to the Rectangle tool, then click and drag to mark the object.

Resize and rotate the rectangle with the on screen handles for a tight fit. Make sure the entire object is inside your selection. A clean selection helps the AI place the new object convincingly.

Generate and compare

After selecting the object, type a prompt for what you would like to replace it with. Click Generate to see the AI results. On the left panel, you will find a History of all generated images.

Click between entries in History to compare Auto versus Manual results. This makes it easy to pick the version that matches your intent. Repeat the step and adjust prompts or selection if you want a different look.

Example prompt after a manual selection:

replace_with: "potted cactus"
style: "photo realistic, natural shadows"

Download
