Inpaint · Mask, Describe, Blend

Paint anything in, or out. No visible seam.

Mask any part of a photo, describe what should appear there, and SparkStation's Inpaint generates content that blends seamlessly into the rest of the image, matching lighting, perspective and texture instead of leaving an obvious patch.

1 How It Works 2 What People Prompt 3 Who It's For

What is AI inpainting? A tool that lets you mask a chosen area of an image and replace it with new, AI-generated content that blends seamlessly with the rest of the photo, instead of leaving a visible seam or patch. SparkStation's Inpaint pairs a mask with a short text description of what should appear in that area.

How it works

Mask the area, describe the fix, generate.

Upload your image

Add the photo you want to edit, drag, drop, browse or paste with Ctrl+V.

Mask the area

Paint over the part of the image you want to change.

Describe what should appear there

Type what you want in the painted area, an object to add, or what should fill the space if you're removing something.

Generate

SparkStation blends the new content into the masked area seamlessly.

💬 Real prompt patterns

It works on a short description, not a full paragraphA few real prompt patterns Inpaint handles well

Inpaint doesn't need an elaborate prompt, a short, direct description of what belongs in the masked area is usually enough, whether you're adding something or filling a gap left by removing something. A few real examples of the kind of prompt that works:

"Add a clock here" "Place a rose" "A decorative item" "Place a bunch of bananas" "Ghost"

Real output

Real prompts, real before/afters.

Why it works better

A clone-stamp patch versus a masked, described fill.

✕ A manual clone/patch tool

Requires manual pixel-level editing skill
Struggles to invent new content, only copies existing pixels
Visible seams when lighting or texture doesn't match

✓ SparkStation Inpaint

Describe what you want in plain language, no manual skill needed
Generates genuinely new content, not just copied pixels
Matches lighting and perspective to blend seamlessly

Who it's for

Anywhere a photo needs a targeted, not total, edit.

🧹

Removing unwanted elements

Take an object, person or distraction out of a shot and fill the space convincingly.

➕

Adding elements

Put something into a scene that wasn't there originally, a prop, a detail, a decoration.

🎨

Concept & storyboard work

Test how a change to one part of a frame reads before committing to a full re-generation.

Inpaint is one of several targeted edit tools in Image Studio.

Answers

AI inpainting, in brief.

What is AI inpainting?

AI inpainting lets you mask a chosen area of an image and replace it with new, AI-generated content that blends seamlessly with the rest of the photo, instead of leaving a visible seam or patch.

Can I use inpainting to remove an object from a photo?

Yes, mask the object and describe what should appear in its place (the background behind it, for example), and SparkStation's Inpaint fills the masked area with content that blends into the surrounding image.

Can I use inpainting to add something to a photo?

Yes, mask an area and describe what you want to add there, such as a specific object, and SparkStation generates it in place, matching the surrounding lighting and perspective.

Do I need to write a prompt to use Inpaint?

Yes, after masking the area you want to change, you describe what should appear there in a short text prompt. SparkStation uses that description to generate the replacement content for the masked area.

What can I upload to Inpaint?

Any photo or image you want to selectively edit, Inpaint works on a chosen region of the image rather than regenerating the whole thing.
