AI Image Annotation Editor
When a generated image is almost right, do not rewrite the whole prompt. Draw arrows, circle problem areas, add short notes, and send the visual feedback into GPT Image 2 for the next revision.
What is an AI image annotation editor?
An AI image annotation editor lets users draw arrows, circle problem areas, add freehand marks, and write short notes directly on an image. The tool sends both the clean source image and the annotated reference to GPT Image 2 so the final output follows the visual feedback without keeping the annotation marks.
Annotate and generate the revised image
Upload an image, click the problem areas, write the changes, and generate the revised image in one workspace. Credits, queueing, downloads, and sharing stay in the same flow.
Annotation edit generator

Click to add changes
Click an area and write what should change.
Click a problem area on the image.
Revision list
No changes yet. Click the image first.
The canvas is free; generation uses GPT Image 2 credits.
Upload an image, then click the canvas to add changes.

Best when one image is close, but several specific details need revision.
Useful for generated image review, product retouching, design feedback, and client comments.
The annotation canvas does not spend credits; credits are used when GPT Image 2 generates the revised image.
When should you use annotation editing?
Use annotation editing when the image direction is mostly right, but several visible details need specific changes such as color, lighting, object cleanup, layout, or text placement.
When should you use inpainting?
Use inpainting when one exact masked area needs to change, such as removing an object, repairing a hand, or replacing a small background region.
When should you rewrite the prompt?
Rewrite the prompt when the whole image direction is wrong and you need a new subject, style, composition, or scene.
AI image annotation editor
- Best for
- Best for images that are close to the target but need multiple concrete corrections.
- Not for
- Not ideal for changing the entire subject, identity, or composition.
AI inpainting
- Best for
- Best for one clearly selected area that should be regenerated.
- Not for
- Not ideal for explaining several scattered review comments.
Prompt-only regeneration
- Best for
- Best for exploring a new direction, style, subject, or composition.
- Not for
- Not ideal when the image only needs a few precise fixes.
AI annotation editing vs inpainting vs prompt-only editing
Use this table to decide which workflow fits the image revision you need.
| Decision point | Annotation editor | Inpainting | Prompt-only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of issues | Several issues in several places | One selected area | Whole direction is wrong |
| Input method | Arrows, circles, pen marks, text notes | Mask brush | Text prompt |
| Best use case | Review, retouching, campaign revisions | Object removal, blemish repair, local replacement | New style, new scene, new composition |
| Final image marks | Annotations are removed | Mask is removed | No visual marks |
Choose annotation editing
When you can point to several specific problems on the image and want to preserve most of the original result.
Choose inpainting
When one exact region needs to change and the rest should stay as stable as possible.
Choose prompt-only generation
When the current image misses the subject, composition, style, or overall direction.
Made for real image feedback
Inpainting is great for one selected area. Annotation-guided editing is better when users need to explain several problems in one pass.
Generated image review
Circle bad hands, text issues, composition problems, background mistakes, and color changes before generating the next version.
Product photo revision
Mark label alignment, reflections, shadows, packaging edges, and background changes for more polished product visuals.
Design feedback
Review posters, covers, interiors, and social graphics the same way you would brief a designer.
Client communication
Turn vague feedback into specific visual instructions that GPT Image 2 can follow.
Annotation editing examples
Product visuals, interiors, campaign posters, and social graphics can all move faster when feedback is drawn directly on the image.
Product annotation edit
Mark label, reflection, shadow, and background issues for a more premium product image.
Interior feedback
Use arrows and circles to direct furniture, lighting, wall art, and palette revisions.
Campaign revision
Send multiple visual fixes at once instead of regenerating the entire direction repeatedly.
How to edit an image with annotations
Move from generated result to visual feedback to a revised image without leaving the page.
Upload or import an image
Start from a generated result or upload a source image that needs revision.
Draw annotations
Use arrows, circles, pen strokes, and text labels to mark every issue.
Send to GPT Image 2
The editor uploads the annotated reference and builds a revision prompt automatically.
Generate the revised image
Confirm the credit estimate and generate a clean final image without annotation marks.

AI Image Annotation Editor FAQ
Answers about arrows, circles, text notes, credit usage, and final image quality.
What is an AI image annotation editor?
It is a visual image-editing workflow where you mark an image with arrows, circles, drawings, and notes, then ask AI to revise the image based on that feedback.
How is this different from AI inpainting?
Inpainting usually edits one masked region. Annotation-guided editing lets you explain several requested changes across the whole image in one pass.
Will the red annotations appear in the final image?
No. The generated prompt tells GPT Image 2 to use the annotations as instructions and remove all marks from the final output.
Does the annotation canvas use credits?
No. Credits are only spent when you generate the revised image with GPT Image 2.
Keep refining images
Use inpainting for single-area edits, image-to-prompt for analysis, or the generator for a new direction.
