Edit Existing Images with AI in Vidu
Image editing AI is a tool for changing an existing image by using a source file and a text prompt to produce an edited output for cleanup, style changes, or asset preparation. It is useful when creators, marketers, or production teams need to compare edit directions before moving an image into video, reference, or campaign work, and Vidu helps you test that workflow.
Common Ways to Use Image Editing AI

Image Editing Decision Points in Vidu
Use this table to evaluate Vidu's source-image edits, prompt changes, and reference-guided adjustments before preparing a clean image for later creative production.
| Decision Area | Vidu Image Editing | Manual Or Generic Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Source image setup | Start with one uploaded image and a prompt that describes the exact edit. | Often requires moving files between editors, layers, and separate prompt tools. |
| Edit scope | Adjust objects, backgrounds, characters, or style from the same source frame. | Edits may be split across multiple apps or handled as isolated retouch tasks. |
| Reference guidance | Add a reference image to steer the look and keep the edit aligned. | Generic workflows rely more on manual matching and repeated visual checks. |
| Aspect and framing | Choose an aspect ratio that matches the target output before generating. | Framing is usually corrected later with crop, resize, or rework steps. |
| Output review | Check whether the new image keeps the main subject clear and the requested changes visible. | Review often focuses on whether the edit is acceptable after several manual passes. |
