Why this exists
When someone asks "can you make this in a different color or material," you shouldn't have to physically produce it just to find out if they'll say yes. Circledit exists to answer that question with a photo trustworthy enough to quote from — not a rough AI guess.
Chat-based image editors only have your words to work with: they have to guess which part you mean and which exact shade, and they redraw the whole image doing it, so everything else drifts a little too. Circledit removes both guesses — you circle the exact region and attach the exact reference color — and restores everything else from your original file, pixel for pixel. That precision is what makes the output usable in front of a buyer, not just a fun edit.
Quick start
Circledit has one workflow, and it's the same for every kind of edit:
- Upload a photo — it becomes your base image.
- Pick a tool (Box, Arrow, Point, Curve, or Sketch) and mark the region you want changed.
- Type an instruction for that region — as short or as detailed as you like.
- Repeat for as many regions as you want, each with its own instruction.
- Hit Generate. Every marked region is edited in one pass; everything else is left exactly as it was.
No account is required to try this — open the app and upload a photo to get three free edits immediately.
Annotation types
Pick whichever tool matches the shape of what you're pointing at. They all work the same way underneath: mark a region, write an instruction, and the region carries that instruction into the edit.
A rectangle around an object or area — the default for most edits (swap a color, remove an object, replace a material).
Points at a specific spot without covering it — useful when the target is small or partly hidden under something else.
A single location — for edits that don't have a meaningful size, like "add a small logo here."
An outline you trace — for reshaping a boundary (a new hemline, a new silhouette edge) rather than a rectangular area.
A freehand line or symbol — for adding a decorative line, a stitch pattern, or a shape that doesn't correspond to an existing edge.
Reference images
Any circled region can have a reference image attached to it, instead of (or in addition to) a text instruction. Attach a photo of the exact color, material, or logo you want, and the region carries that reference into the edit. This works better than describing a color in words — "this exact green" beats three sentences about hue and saturation.
Reference images are scoped strictly to the region they're attached to. They never apply as a general style reference for the rest of the photo.
Multiple edits in one pass
You are not limited to one circle per generation. Mark five regions, give each a different instruction, and Circledit resolves all five in a single generation — not five separate ones. This is the core mechanic: instead of a menu of pre-built tools ("remove background", "recolor", "add object"), Circledit has one tool that you point and describe as many times as you need.
Why the rest of the photo doesn't change
Most AI image editors — including general chat-based tools — regenerate the entire image even for a small, localized request. The result usually looks close to the original, but close is not the same as unchanged: texture, exposure, and fine detail drift slightly across the whole frame, and that drift compounds if you edit the same photo more than once.
Circledit's generation pipeline treats the model's output as a proposed patch rather than a final image. After generation, the areas you didn't mark are restored from your original file — not approximated, restored — so a product photo you edit five times in a row keeps the same fidelity outside the edited regions on round five as it had on round one.
Writing good instructions
- Be specific about the target, not the mechanism. "Change the strap to burgundy leather" works better than "make it look nicer."
- One instruction per region. If a region needs two unrelated changes, split it into two overlapping annotations rather than combining both asks into one sentence.
- Use a reference image for exact colors or materials rather than trying to name them precisely.
- Mention scale for additions. "Add a small tag" and "add a large tag" produce different results — say which you mean.
Free trial, quota, and pricing
- Guest trial: 3 free edits, no signup, small watermark on exports.
- Registered free: 10 cumulative free edits (your 3 guest edits count toward this), still watermarked.
- Paid plans: start at $9.9/month for 100 edits with no watermark, up to a fair-use cap of 20 edits/day. See the pricing section for current tiers.
Usage is always counted from completed generations — a cancelled or failed generation never counts against your quota.
Troubleshooting
The result doesn't match what I asked for
Try narrowing the annotation to just the target area, and split compound instructions into separate regions. If a specific color or material matters, attach a reference image instead of describing it.
Generation failed or timed out
This doesn't count against your quota — only completed generations do. Retry; if it keeps failing on the same photo, the file may be too large or an unsupported format (PNG, JPG, and WebP are supported).
I've used all my free edits
Guests get 7 more free edits by signing up with an email (10 total). After that, paid plans remove the cap and the watermark.
