What does the AI Clay effect change?

AI Clay reinterprets the photograph through a guided AI transformation, preserving important identity and composition cues while creating the requested visual result. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with AI Clay?

Choose AI Clay for creative identity-preserving transformations, targeted edits that are difficult to mask by hand, or portrait and product cleanup when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains ambiguous low-resolution subjects, hidden facial features, or requests that require inventing exact factual details not present in the source.

About the AI Clay effect
