Phota Edit

Phota Edit is an AI-powered image editing model that transforms photos using natural language instructions. Describe the change you want — swap clothing, alter backgrounds, adjust styles, add or remove objects — and the model applies precise, context-aware edits while preserving the rest of the image. Supports multiple input images, batch output, and flexible aspect ratio control.

Why Choose This?

Natural-language editing Describe your edit in plain text — no masks, no manual selections, no technical knowledge required.
Multi-image input Upload multiple reference images to provide richer visual context for complex edits.
4K output support Generate high-resolution edited results for print, production, or archival use.
Flexible aspect ratio control Output in auto, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:4, or 9:16 to match your target platform.
Multiple output formats Export in JPEG, PNG, or WebP for any downstream workflow.
Batch output Generate multiple edited variations in a single run using the num_images parameter.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
prompt	Yes	Text description of the desired edit.
images	No	One or more source images to edit (URL or file upload). Click Add Item for more.
resolution	No	Output resolution: 1K (default) or 4K.
num_images	No	Number of edited output variations to generate per run. Default: 1.

How to Use

Write your prompt — describe exactly what should change in the image (e.g., "Change the man's clothes to beach casual wear and put on sunglasses.").
Upload your image(s) — provide one or more source images via URL or drag-and-drop. Click Add Item to add more.
Select resolution — 1K for standard output, 4K for high-resolution results.
Set num_images (optional) — generate multiple variations in one run.
Choose aspect ratio — use auto to preserve the source ratio, or select a specific format.
Choose output format — jpeg, png, or webp based on your delivery needs.
Submit — generate and download your edited image.

Pricing

Resolution	Cost per Image
1K	$0.09
4K	$0.18

Billing Rules

1K: $0.09 per image
4K: $0.18 per image (2× base price)
Total cost = cost per image × num_images

Best Use Cases

Fashion & Apparel — Swap clothing, accessories, or outfit styles on model photos without reshooting.
E-commerce — Edit product images to showcase different colors, settings, or variants from a single source.
Marketing & Advertising — Update visual assets quickly — change backgrounds, props, or styling to match campaign needs.
Portrait Retouching — Make targeted appearance changes while preserving the overall look and feel.
Creative Concepting — Rapidly iterate on visual ideas and styling directions for client review.

Pro Tips

Be specific and descriptive in your prompt — the more detail you provide, the more accurate the edit.
Upload multiple images when you want the model to reference additional context, such as a target style or specific elements.
Use 4K output for final production assets and 1K for rapid iteration and testing.
Use PNG output for lossless results when editing images with text, graphics, or sharp edges.
Enable sync mode in API workflows where you need the result returned directly without polling.

Notes

Only prompt is required; all other parameters are optional.
Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible if using links rather than direct uploads.
Please ensure your content complies with WaveSpeed AI's usage policies.

Phota Edit API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/phota/edit with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Phota Edit below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/phota/edit" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "resolution": "1K",
    "num_images": 1,
    "aspect_ratio": "auto",
    "output_format": "jpeg",
    "enable_sync_mode": false,
    "enable_base64_output": false
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("wavespeed-ai/phota/edit", {
        "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
        "resolution": "1K",
        "num_images": 1,
        "aspect_ratio": "auto",
        "output_format": "jpeg",
        "enable_sync_mode": false,
        "enable_base64_output": false
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "wavespeed-ai/phota/edit",
    {
    "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light",
    "resolution": "1K",
    "num_images": 1,
    "aspect_ratio": "auto",
    "output_format": "jpeg",
    "enable_sync_mode": false,
    "enable_base64_output": false
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Phota Edit API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Phota Edit API?

Phota Edit is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Phota Edit transforms existing images using natural language instructions. Supports up to 10 reference images, 1K and 4K resolutions, and batch output up to 4 images. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Phota Edit API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/phota-edit.

How much does Phota Edit cost per run?

Phota Edit starts at $0.090 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Phota Edit accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `enable_base64_output`, `enable_sync_mode`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/phota-edit.

How do I get started with the Phota Edit API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Phota Edit outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
