# Edit

Change, upscale, cut out and finish your images, one at a time or many at once.

## Overview

Use Edit to finish an image: change part of it, upscale it, cut it out or add effects. Every edit makes a new version next to the original, so you can try a bigger change without losing the image you started with.

Choose **Edit** in the sidebar and pick an image from your library, or open any image's menu and choose **Edit**.

You can also change an image without the editor. On **Create**, attach the image as a [reference](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/reference-images) and write the change, then what must stay. Nano Banana 2 recolored the Halvard wrapper this way, once in cloudberry orange and once in pine green, and left the contour lines, the lettering and the light alone. These come back as new images in the feed, not as versions in the editor.

**Original**

![A Halvard chocolate bar in a cobalt wrapper printed with white contour lines, lying across an old atlas open at the coast of Norway, three squares of dark chocolate showing at one end.](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/bar.webp)

*Prompt: "A Halvard chocolate bar lying across an old atlas open at the coast of Norway, the fine white contour lines on its wrapper running on into the map's fjords. Uncoated cobalt paper, "HALVARD" along it in a tall cream serif, the wrapper cut short so one square of dark chocolate shows. Hard window light, a few crumbs." Model: Nano Banana Pro.*

**Cloudberry orange**

![The same Halvard bar and atlas with the wrapper turned cloudberry orange; the contour lines, the lettering, the chocolate and the light are unchanged.](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/cloudberry.webp)

*Prompt: "Change only the wrapper's paper to cloudberry orange. Keep the contour lines, the "HALVARD" lettering, the chocolate, the atlas and the light exactly as they are." Model: Nano Banana 2.*

**Pine green**

![The same Halvard bar and atlas with the wrapper turned deep pine green; the contour lines, the lettering, the chocolate and the light are unchanged.](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/pine.webp)

*Prompt: "Change only the wrapper's paper to deep pine green. Keep the contour lines, the "HALVARD" lettering, the chocolate, the atlas and the light exactly as they are." Model: Nano Banana 2.*

## The editor

The editor holds one image and all its versions, in a strip along the bottom. Select a version to see it, and the next tool you run starts from that version. To compare a version with the one it came from, choose **Single**, **Split** or **Side by side** under the canvas.

The run button shows the price first: **Free**, or a number of credits. Everyone in the workspace sees your edits and can keep working on them.

## Ideogram Edit

Use it to change one thing and keep everything else. Describe the change, such as "make the coat yellow", and [Ideogram 4.5](https://batchbanana.com/docs/models/ideogram) repaints only that. Add up to 4 reference images to show what you want added.

**Quality** sets the price per image: 2 credits at **Very low**, 7 at **Low**, 14 at **Medium** and 47 at **High**. Images over about 2.4 megapixels come back a little smaller.

## Upscale

Makes an image bigger, with five models to choose from. Most offer 2x or 4x.

![The Upscale tool with its Model menu open, listing Creative, Precision, Real-ESRGAN, Recraft Crisp and Crystal.](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/upscale.light.webp)

| Model         | What it does                           | Credits |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------- |
| Creative      | Invents detail as it enlarges          | 20      |
| Precision     | Keeps the detail that is already there | 15      |
| Real-ESRGAN   | Fast, with optional face enhancement   | 3       |
| Recraft Crisp | Clean edges on flat art and type       | 5       |
| Crystal       | Keeps detail, slower                   | 5       |

Use Precision when the image is already right and only needs to be bigger. Use Recraft Crisp on logos, icons and lettering.

## Remove background

Cuts the subject out onto a transparent background. The editor runs **BiRefNet** by default, at 2 credits; it holds up on more than one subject. **Magnific**, at 5 credits, gives tighter edges on a single subject.

**Remove background** in an image's menu runs Magnific, at 5 credits.

## Effects

Eighteen effects in four groups, **Color**, **Texture**, **Artistic** and **Distortion**, from Film Grain to Risograph and Halftone CMYK. They run in your browser and cost nothing. Choose **Save version** to keep the result. Effects work on one image at a time.

## Slice

Cuts a sheet of icons or sprites into separate files. Slice by **Shapes** or by **Grid**, up to 256 slices from one sheet. Slicing is free. On a busy background, Slice offers to remove the background first, for 2 credits.

## Stickers and print sheets

**Sticker** turns an image into a die-cut sticker. Pick a **Finish**: **Classic**, **Holographic**, **Glitter**, **Puffy** or **Clear**. Stickers are free. An image that still has its background gets it removed first, at 2 credits.

The landmark stickers in [Geolingo](https://geolingo.app/), a geography game we built, were made this way. Nano Banana 2 drew each icon, like this Big Ben; **Remove background** cut it out, and **Sticker** added the die-cut white border.

**Generated**

![Game icon of Big Ben in warm stone with a dark slate spire and two clock faces, on plain cream](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/big-ben.webp)

*Prompt: "Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), London, as a single standalone landmark emblem for the Western Europe stop: a slender Gothic clock tower with its recognizable clock face, upper pinnacles and pointed roof, in gentle three-quarter view." Model: Nano Banana 2.*

**Background removed**

![The same Big Ben icon cut out on a transparent background](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/big-ben-background-removed.webp)

*Tool: Remove background.*

**Sticker**

![The cut-out Big Ben as a die-cut sticker with an even white border around the tower](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/big-ben-sticker.webp)

*Tool: Sticker.*

From a stack of stickers, **Print sheet** lays out up to 64 of them on a **Letter** or **A4** PDF with a cut line for your printer.

## Edit many images at once

In the library, point at a date and choose **Select all**, or Shift-click the images you want. Then choose **Edit** in the bar at the bottom. You can also open a stack and choose **Edit**.

![The Edit 18 images window with Remove background chosen on the BiRefNet model, and the line 36 credits in all.](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/edit/edit-many.light.webp)

Pick **Ideogram Edit**, **Upscale**, **Remove background** or **Sticker**. The window shows the total before you start, and the results land in your library as one stack. One run takes up to 256 images, or 40 with a tool that costs credits.

[Agent](https://batchbanana.com/docs/create/agent) can run the same edits from a chat. Ask it to "remove the backgrounds from all of these, then make them stickers", and it does both in one go.
