SDXL Inpainting
SDXL Inpainting on Pixio fixes or replaces only masked regions; the rest of the image stays unchanged. Use it when you need to edit a specific area (e.g. object, background, face) with a prompt while preserving the rest of the image.
Use this when
- You need to edit only part of an image using a mask (selected region) and a prompt.
- You want localized changes (replace an object, fix a face, change the background) with SDXL quality.
- You need inpainting (mask-based fill/edit) rather than full-image transformation.
- You prefer Stable Diffusion XL for inpainting and may have SDXL workflows.
- You want precise control over what changes: only the masked area is regenerated.

Prompt structure
[What to put in the masked region]. Describe only the content for the masked area (e.g. "blue sky with clouds", "a vase of flowers", "same person, smiling"). Match lighting and style to the rest of the image for a seamless result.
Example prompts
"Blue sky with soft clouds. Match the lighting of the scene."
