At a glance
Everything you need to know
Refine anything
Photos, AI art, mockups, sketches — upload any PNG/JPG up to 8 MB and re-style it with a plain-English prompt.
58 one-click art styles
Watercolour, oil painting, anime, pixel art, Pixar 3D, vaporwave… one tap redraws the image while keeping the subject and composition.
3 sticker quick actions
Vinyl Die-Cut (white stroke on black), Cartoon / Kawaii Pop (bold ink + vibrant fills), Vintage / Retro Distressed (weathered aged-vinyl).
Text banner wrapper
Type a phrase and arc it over the top (Arcing Curved Text) or set it in a classic ribbon across the bottom (Solid Ribbon Banner).
Black background fix
One click flattens everything outside the white border to pure #000000 — no artifacts, halos, or color leaks.
Version history
Every version is saved — browse thumbnails, jump between versions, branch from any point, and download any of them.

Stickers
3 quick actions + background fix
Below the refine box, the Quick actions turn any image into a finished sticker — each prompt is finely tuned and runs on the currently selected version.
- Create Sticker (Vinyl Die-Cut) — clean, modern die-cut graphic: isolated subject, thick uniform white stroke, flat solid black background.
- Cartoon / Kawaii Pop — bold black ink linework and vibrant solid fills (no gradients), thick white die-cut border on solid neutral gray.
- Vintage / Retro Distressed — clean white border with a subtle weathered, scratched texture mimicking aged vinyl, on solid black.
- Black Background — the background fix: flattens everything outside the white border to pure #000000 with no halos or color leaks.

Add words
Text banner wrapper
Under the sticker styles, type your phrase (e.g. “CODE EVERY DAY”) and pick one of two layouts — your text is quoted verbatim into the prompt.
- Arcing Curved Text (Clean & Compact) — the text arcs over the top in bold white capitals with a thin black outline; the white border expands to wrap illustration + text as one unified shape.
- Solid Ribbon Banner (Classic Pop Art) — a solid-white ribbon with black outline rests across the bottom, holding your text in a friendly black font — highly readable even at small print sizes.

Walkthrough
How to use Image Refine
Upload your image
Any PNG or JPG up to 8 MB — the aspect ratio auto-detects and snaps to the nearest preset.

Refine it — three ways
Type a prompt, tap one of 58 art styles, or run a sticker quick action.
Add a text banner
Type a phrase and arc it over the top or set it in a ribbon across the bottom.
Fix the background
Flatten everything outside the white border to pure black if the backdrop came back messy.
Browse versions
Your original is v1; every run adds a version — flip with Prev/Next or the thumbnails.
Download
Save the selected version as a PNG (mobile-friendly, works on iPhone).
Tips
Good to know
Everything is versioned. Your original upload is v1; every refine, art style, sticker, banner, or background fix appends a new version. Go back to an earlier version and run something different to branch — the old branch is replaced, favourites stay until you overwrite them.
Chain the workflows. Sticker (v2) → text banner (v3) → black background (v4) — or try two sticker styles from the same version and compare them side by side. The pencil button beside every action loads its prompt into the refine box for tweaking first.
Auto aspect-ratio detection. On upload, the ratio snaps to the closest preset matching your image — you can still change it manually before refining.
Banner text is quoted verbatim. Spell it exactly as you want it printed; the banner buttons stay disabled until you type a phrase.
Credit cost — each run (prompt, art style, sticker, banner, or background fix) costs the same as a standard generation.
