CraftVis
You describe the change, the AI edits the image — no Photoshop, no layers.
By Thiago Lourenço Martins
An AI that edits photos the way you'd explain it to an intern
CraftVis is an AI image editing and generation website: you upload a photo (or start from scratch), type in plain language what you want changed — swap the background, fix the lighting, remove an object — and get a ready result back. Think of it like a neighborhood optician fixing your glasses: you describe the problem in plain language, and the person who understands the craft handles it. No layers, no masks, no selections required.
The time you get back when nobody opens Photoshop just for one post
Friday, 6pm, the post needs to go out today. The product photo came out crooked, the background is cluttered, and the designer already left. You know this scene.
Upload the image, describe the change, download the result. Where there used to be layer menus, selections and brushes, now there's one typed sentence.
Five times a social media manager would open CraftVis in a normal week
- Swap a product photo's background before posting
A real photo, a cluttered background. Ask for a "white studio background" or an "autumn scene" and it comes out already sized for the feed.
- Generate variations of the same product for a carousel
One photo becomes three or four versions with different settings, without booking a new photo shoot.
- Polish a rough thumbnail draft
That crooked artwork you made on your phone turns into a presentable video cover, without opening a real editor.
- Test 2 or 3 ad directions before a client sign-off
Instead of describing the idea in a meeting, you show three ready variations — and the client picks by looking, not imagining.
- Refresh an old brand asset without recreating it from scratch
That two-year-old banner gets a new palette and mood while keeping the composition that already worked.
From raw image to ready file, without a new tab
- Go to craftvis.com and click "Start For Free"
No card required — the "No Credit Card" badge is right there on the homepage.
- Pick the "AI Image" tab in the generator
To edit an existing photo, click the upload area and add the file. To create from scratch, stay on "Text to image".
- Write your request in the text box
Plain language, up to 5,000 characters — for example, "swap the background for a white studio."
the "Improve Prompt" button rewrites your request with more detail, if you want - Pick an AI model
Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2 and others show up as options — each one interprets the request differently.
- Click "Generate for free"
The result shows up in a few seconds, ready to compare with the original.
- Download the version you like
Or generate again, tweaking the wording of your request.
A ready-made request to paste into the text box
Replace this photo's background with a minimalist pastel-toned studio setting, keeping the product exactly as it is — same position, same color, same shadow. Adjust the lighting to be even, with no harsh reflections. Deliver it in a square format, ready to post on the feed.
You get the same photo, with a new background, already sized for a post — without opening a separate editor.
Tips & common mistakes
Do this
- Ask for targeted changes (background, color, one object) instead of "redo the whole image" — the result stays closer to what was already good.
- Test the same request across more than one model (Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2, for example) — the difference in results can be big.
- Upload a sharp, well-lit photo — the model works better from a good source than trying to guess a poor one.
Avoid
- Expecting Portuguese screens — today CraftVis only exists in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German and Chinese, no PT-BR.
- Assuming this month's credits roll over — subscription credits reset every billing cycle.
- Subscribing to the entry plan assuming it'll be enough — Starter has 4,000 credits a month, and daily posters tend to hit the ceiling before month's end.
Test it with a real photo from your feed
Grab a product photo or asset you already have saved on your phone and upload it to CraftVis. Ask it to change only the background, keeping everything else exactly the same.
It worked if, in under 2 minutes, you have a new version ready to post — without opening any other program.
Our take on CraftVis
score 3.9 out of 5
I asked it to swap a product photo's background for a more neutral setting, and the result came out good on the first try — no annoying sign-up, no card. It's the kind of tool that saves your Friday-at-6pm crunch. It just doesn't speak Portuguese yet — the whole interface is in English — and if you post every single day, the entry plan burns through credits fast. For occasional image edits, the free plan already delivers. For daily use, keep your card handy.
Tested and checked against official sources on July 29, 2026.
What works in its favor
- A genuinely free plan, no card required to start — you can try it today
- A 3-step flow (upload, describe, download) with zero learning curve
- Several AI models in one place (Nano Banana, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2, Seedance 1.5 Pro, Seedream 5 Lite) to compare results
- Commercial use unlocked on paid plans, with a 7-day refund window for subscribers who change their mind
Where it falls short
- No Portuguese interface — today it only exists in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German and Chinese
- Pricing only in dollars, with no conversion option
- Monthly subscription credits don't roll over — they reset every billing cycle, per CraftVis's own pricing FAQ
- Heavy users (daily posting) tend to outgrow the Starter plan fast and need to move up to Creator or Studio
Who CraftVis actually helps
Worth it if you…
- Run a brand's social media and need to turn a product photo into a post without waiting on a designer
- Run a small e-commerce shop and want to test a different background or setting without a new photo shoot
- Are a freelancer or agency who wants to show 2 or 3 creative directions before locking in with a client
Think twice if you…
- Need a fully Portuguese interface — CraftVis doesn't have that option yet
- Need fine editing with layers, masks and manual adjustments — Photoshop and Lightroom still win here
- Post multiple times a day and don't want to keep an eye on credit consumption
How much CraftVis actually costs
Is it free? Yes — you can try it without a card, with a free daily credit allowance. Paid plans are only in US dollars (CraftVis doesn't show a real/BRL price) and buy more monthly credit, not an extra feature.
$0 — a daily credit allowance with no card required, good for occasional use.
$9.90/month — 4,000 credits a month, 60 days of cloud storage, commercial use unlocked.
$24.90/month — most popular. 10,000 credits a month, 90 days of cloud storage.
$79.90/month — 34,000 credits a month, 120 days of cloud storage, for heavy production or agencies.
Important detail: there's also a one-time credit pack option, with no subscription and no expiration — but the site doesn't show that pack's price upfront. Official prices in US dollars, straight from CraftVis's pricing page, checked on July 29, 2026 (subject to change).
Other doors when CraftVis doesn't fit
When you need to build the whole post layout — text, layers, frame — not just edit the photo
When the request is a vector, icon or brand illustration, not a real photo to retouch
When the niche is real estate and what you need is redesigning an empty room, not a product
When the post needs the right text rendered inside the image itself, with no garbled letters
What first-time users ask
Is CraftVis actually free?
You can try it with no card: the homepage gives you a free daily credit allowance to generate and edit images. For unlimited or heavy commercial use, paid plans start at $9.90 per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The site itself shows a "No Credit Card" badge on the homepage. A card is only needed if you decide to subscribe to a paid plan.
Does it work in Portuguese?
Not yet. Today the CraftVis interface exists in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German and Simplified Chinese — with no Portuguese option.
Does it work on mobile?
It works through your phone's browser, since it's a website — there is no dedicated app announced by the company. For describing edits calmly and comparing results, a computer is still more comfortable.
Can I use the generated images commercially?
On paid plans, yes — CraftVis includes commercial use on the Starter, Creator and Studio subscriptions. On the free plan, check the Terms of Use before applying it to client work.
Do leftover monthly credits roll over?
No. Monthly subscription credits reset every billing cycle, according to CraftVis's own pricing FAQ. If you want credits that never expire, you need to buy a separate credit pack.
Every day, a new tool explained.
