What you’ll get
You’ll learn to quickly change specific parts of an image, like a person’s profile, an object, or their expression, using simple text prompts. This method uses Krea AI’s Identity Edit feature, which lets you make precise changes without needing complex tools like masks or inpainting, keeping the rest of the image (background, lighting) consistent.
Tools you need
- Krea AI (freemium): An online tool for generating and editing images with AI, specifically for making identity and element changes.
Steps
-
Go to Krea AI: Open your web browser and navigate to the Krea AI website.
You should see the Krea AI homepage. You may need to sign up or log in to access the tools.
-
Access Identity Edit: Look for a feature or tool named “Identity Edit” or similar within Krea AI. The author used “Krea 2 Identity Edit LoRA v1.2”, so look for the latest version of this feature.
You should be on the Identity Edit interface, ready to upload an image.
-
Upload your image: Upload the image you want to edit. This will be your “before” image.
Your image will appear in the Krea AI editor.
-
Write your prompt: In the prompt box, describe the change you want to make. The author found that “one short sentence works way better than writing a whole paragraph.” The author doesn’t share their exact prompts, but here are examples based on their results:
Turn the seahorse guy to a profile view.Swap the snake for a scarf.Change the outfit and pose.Change the expression to happy.The AI will process your request and generate a new image with the specified changes.
-
Review and download: Examine the generated image. The author noted that the background and lighting stayed intact. If you’re happy with the result, download your edited image.
You will have a new image with your desired edits, ready to use.

Notes & variations
While Krea AI has a freemium model, other tools like Fooocus (free, open-source, runs locally) or some online Stable Diffusion interfaces might offer similar capabilities, though they might require more technical setup or different prompting techniques. A common mistake is writing overly long or complex prompts. The author found that “one short sentence works way better than writing a whole paragraph.” Keep your prompts direct and focused on the specific change you want. For better results, experiment with different short, clear prompts. If the first attempt isn’t perfect, try rephrasing your prompt to be more specific or to emphasize the key change you want to see.
