AI-powered tools have changed the way we deal with our work. Be it day-to-day redundant work or something related to creativity, and when it comes to creativity, one such area where AI has made significant advancements is the AI Image Inpainting feature.
Image inpainting is a technique that can restore missing or damaged regions in an image by using information from the surrounding pixels.
It can be used for various image processing tasks, such as removing unwanted objects, enhancing old photos, filling in gaps, or creating artistic effects or adding new objects to an existing image.
Let’s talk about 5 such tools that can be used for Inpainting. Some of them do come with a credit-based free trial and few come under subscription. We will show their working results, which will help you choose better.
Top 5 tools for AI Image Inpainting
Following are the top 5 AI Image Inpainting tools:
- Midjourney
- Adobe FireFly (Beta)

1. Midjourney
Midjourney recently released a feature called Vary(region) on its discord server which acts as an Inpainting feature.
We have tested this feature multiple times and it works like magic. Sometimes the result might be different than what you expect, but there is nothing that can’t be fixed and this is probably our favourite choice.
Keep in mind, that this comes with a subscription. Earlier there used to be trials, but no more free trials on the Midjourney server. Now, you have to buy their subscription which ranges from $10-$60/ month depending on your usage.
e.g. prompt: Asked Midjourney to replace the selected image in the middle with a Hot air balloon.
