AI image editor: reviews, statistics and news
Tools that change an existing picture with AI, from quick web editors to full photo editing software: remove an object or a background, extend or fill a scene, retouch a face, denoise, sharpen and grade a raw photo, upscale, or edit from a written prompt. Each one will be tested on the same set of photos for edit quality, prompt accuracy, speed, output resolution and what it costs.
Every AI image editor I follow
Every AI image editor I follow, in alphabetical order. None has been through my bench yet: each one is queued for the ten tests, and the first reviews appear here as they are finished. The statistics measure 68 of them each month. 19 more listed tools are not measured here: 2 are measured in the category of their main product, 16 sit on shared domains whose traffic is not their own and 1 lives on a domain whose traffic is mostly another product. Each of those is marked on its card.
