Overview
Paint by Text is an AI-powered tool designed to interpret written instructions to edit photos. It allows users to input text commands, and the AI then applies the instructions on the image, potentially opening up an entirely new way of interacting with photo editing software.
The tool is part of a demonstration project powered by the InstructPix2Pix platform, an implementation of text-to-image conversion that allows users to create specific transformational effects on the images.
As a result, the more specific the text instructions are, the better the end result. Paint by Text offers a unique tool for developers, photographers, and anyone interested in AI applications for photo editing.
It is open-source and hosted on GitHub, and developers interested in learning how it was built and contributing to its code can access the README and the repository.
Besides, the project is hosted on the Replicate platform, known for supporting developers in the AI and machine learning field, and it's also powered by Vercel, a popular deployment and development platform.
While Paint by Text is primarily demonstration software, it represents a fascinating intersection of creative expression and AI technology.

55,47025Released 3mo agoFree + from $9.99/moSix months ago I was building some landing pages and found myself wasting way too much time downloading stock photos, cropping them, resizing, rehosting... the whole thing felt broken. I looked around for a tool that just let me describe the image I wanted and get it in the right format instantly—but nothing really existed. So I built Inliner AI. Now when I need an image, I just write what I want directly into a URL like this: https://img.inliner.ai/my-project/panda-playing-guitar-on-stage_1200x750.png Hit enter and boom Inliner generates an original AI image, intelligently cropped, resized for the web, and served instantly via CDN. Need a quick edit? Just append it to the URL: .../remove-the-guitar_900x750.png No uploads, no UI, no waiting. You can also upload your own products, people, or logos and compose them into generated scenes. For more control, there's a Studio web GUI where you can play with prompts and dimensions and compare variants side by side before committing. Where this gets really powerful is when you show your LLM how to use these URLs. Once it knows the pattern like: https://img.inliner.ai/my-project/xxx-yyy-zzz.png It can generate, tweak, and iterate on image assets dynamically, right inside your prompts or your code. Everything stays self contained in the link. We also include copy/pasteable instructions for Claude, GPT, Cursor, and more so you can wire this up in minutes. If you're building a product, designing a page, or just prototyping something new try it out and let me know what you think!
