About Stability AI Inpaint

Stability Inpaint is Stability AI's masked editing service: you provide an image, mark a region, and describe in text what should appear there. The rest of the picture is left as it was. It is used to swap an object, remove a flaw, or rework one area of a composition. For whole-image restyling, the Control and Style Guide services fit better.

Where it works well

Edits stay inside the masked region, so the surrounding composition remains as delivered.
A plain-language instruction drives the change; no manual retouching tool is needed.
Suits repeat jobs such as replacing a product or removing a distraction across many photos.

When to choose another model

It needs a mask, so batch use requires a way to produce masks automatically or by hand.
Large masked areas give the model more freedom, which makes a clean match with the original picture harder.

FAQ

What is Stability Inpaint for?

Changing a selected region of an image from a text instruction. You mask the area, describe the replacement, and the model fills it while the unmasked pixels remain part of the composition.

What inputs does it take?

An image, a mask marking the area to change, and a prompt describing what should be there. Its catalog operation is image edit, so the source picture is always required, and the mask decides exactly which pixels may be replaced.

Can it extend an image beyond its borders?

This listing is for masked edits inside the picture. Stability offers outpainting as a separate edit tool for extending a canvas, so do not expect border expansion here; treat Inpaint as a way to rework existing content.

Why does my edit look different from the surrounding photo?

Smaller masks and prompts that name the lighting and material of the scene blend best. Very large masks give the model more to invent and make seams more likely.

Does it generate images from text alone?

No. It always needs an input image and a mask to work on. For text-only generation, use Stable Image Core for everyday drafts or Stable Image Ultra when realism and fine detail matter for the result.

How much does Stability AI Inpaint cost?

On TokenLab, Stability AI Inpaint costs $0.05 per image. The pricing table above shows the full breakdown. Rates depend on the billing unit, specification, and usage. Compare matching conditions in the model's detailed pricing; a single rate does not determine the total cost.
