Edit photos by typing what you want

Kiln Photo's AI panel lets a language model drive the editor for you. It looks at your layers, finds the right commands among the editor's 500+ tools, and makes the edit with real, editable layers, so you can adjust or undo anything it did.

Open the editor Your instruction goes from your browser to the AI provider you pick. Kiln never sees it.

How to edit photos with AI prompts

  1. Click Open the editor above, or open your photo with File › Open.
  2. Click AI in the bar on the right edge of the editor.
  3. Choose a provider. OpenRouter lets you sign in with a free account and use models marked Free; Puter gives you a free allowance for Claude, GPT and Gemini; you can also paste your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google Gemini key, or run a model in your browser.
  4. Pick a model, type what you want (for example Add the title “Summer Sale” at the top in bold white text), and click Run.
  5. Watch the steps it takes. If you don't like the result, click Revert AI changes to undo everything that run did.

Tips

  • Be specific about colours, sizes and positions: a 40 px white border, text in the bottom third.
  • The AI can also find and add free public-domain photos: try put a mountain landscape behind everything.
  • Bigger models follow instructions more reliably. Models that accept images can also look at the canvas to check their work.

Questions

Is it free?

Kiln doesn't charge anything. OpenRouter's free models allow 50 requests a day (more after a one-time top-up), Puter has a free allowance, Google's Gemini API has a free tier, and in-browser models are free and unlimited.

Can I use my ChatGPT or Claude subscription?

Not directly: Claude subscriptions can't be used by other apps, and ChatGPT sign-in is limited to selected partners for now. You can reach Claude and GPT models through OpenRouter or Puter, or with an API key.

Does the AI generate new pixels?

No. It edits with the editor's own tools (adjustments, filters, text, shapes, layers and free public-domain images), so every change is a normal, editable step.
