FAQ

How do I make sure only the object changes?

Say where it is (top left, behind the table) and add “keep everything else the same”. One change per edit works best.

Can I remove a watermark?

Only edit photos you have the right to change. ChatUp’s content rules apply to every edit. Read the Terms.

Can I add something in its place?

Yes. Describe what should fill the space, and the editor puts it there to match the light and angle.

Do I need a plan?

Yes. Making and editing images is part of a paid ChatUp plan. Plans show their limits before you choose one. See plans.

Can I use the results commercially?

Under ChatUp’s Terms you keep the rights to what you create, including commercial use, as long as you follow the Terms and the law. Read the Terms.
