Edit your image with Instruct: make smart changes using text

Instruct lets you edit an existing image using natural language. You can upload one or more reference images — depending on the model — and describe what you want to change. The system will generate a new version based on your instruction.

You can use it to change the color of an outfit, remove an object, adjust lighting, switch the season, or make many other types of edits.

How to use it

Option 1 – Upload an image from your device

1. Click Reference image in the prompt panel

2. Upload one or more reference images (depending on the model)

3. Set Mode = Reference

4. Choose Method = Instruct

5. Write your instruction in the prompt field

6. Choose a style model for editing. We recommend using Nano Banana for best results  

7. Click Create Image

Option 2 – Use an image from your project

1. Hover over an image in your project

2. Click the Remix button that appears

3. The image will load into the prompt panel automatically

4. Mode will be set to Reference and Method to Instruct by default

5. The model will automatically switch to Nano Banana, but you can change it to GPT Image or any other model that supports Instruct

6. Write your instruction in the prompt

7. Click Create Image

How it works

The uploaded or selected images become the reference for generation. Your text instruction is used to make targeted changes to that image.

Only three Base Models support Instruct:

• Nano Banana

• Nano Banana Pro

• GPT Image

• Flux.1 Kontext

All other models — including Base Models, Artist Styles, and Private Styles — do not support Instruct.

Make sure the aspect ratio of your reference image matches the generation frame. Otherwise, the image may be cropped or resized.
