Image Workspace

An AI image workspace that turns your words into pictures — even if you can't draw

What is the Image Workspace tool?

An AI image workspace that turns even a hopeless doodler into a pro. Just describe the picture you want in words, and the AI draws it for you — and anything you don't like, you can fix right on the spot. Turn a rough sketch into a photorealistic image, erase only the unwanted part of a photo, or extend an image's background sideways — no Photoshop skills needed, just ask in plain words.

Type @vpaint and a dedicated editor opens in a new tab, where you can go from generating an image all the way to fine editing in one place.

Key Features

This tool splits broadly into "make it with AI" and "refine it yourself."

  • Generate from text (Generate): Describe a scene like "a seaside at sunset" and the AI creates a new image.
  • Transform your sketch or photo with AI (Edit): Ask to turn a rough drawing or an imported photo "into photorealistic" or "into watercolor," and it converts to that look. Even a clumsy doodle becomes a finished picture.
  • Fix just a part (Inpaint): Paint over only the area with an unwanted person or object, and it naturally removes or replaces just that part.
  • Extend beyond the image (Outpaint): Naturally continues a cropped background in any direction to widen the frame.
  • Make infographics: Automatically generates content as an infographic with title, sections, and icons.
  • Professional editing tools: It also has the features of a regular image editor — brushes, erasers, layers, filters — so you can fine-tune AI results in detail.

When can you use it?

The Image Workspace tool is especially useful in these situations.

  • When you want to turn a scene in your head into an image, regardless of drawing skill
  • When you want to turn a rough sketch into a convincing finished image
  • When you want to cleanly erase or change only an unwanted part of a photo
  • When you want to widen a cropped photo's background for a broader frame
  • When you want to organize conversation content or material into an at-a-glance infographic

How to use it

Starting from chat — @vpaint

Depending on how you enter @vpaint in the input box, you can use it in 3 ways.

1. Open a blank editor

Enter @vpaint alone and a blank editor opens in a new tab. Use this when you want to start by drawing or uploading an image yourself.

2. Generate an image from a description

Add a description after @vpaint and the AI creates an image and opens the editor.

  • @vpaint a lighthouse over a seaside at sunset
  • @vpaint turn the conversation above into an infographic (organizes it as an infographic)

3. Load and edit an internet image

Add an image address (URL) and an edit instruction after @vpaint, and it loads that image and edits it automatically.

  • @vpaint https://example.com/photo.png change the background to a night sky

Adding an image inside the editor

There are 3 ways to bring your own image into the editor. Unlike in chat, no URL is needed here.

  • Pick a file with the Upload image button
  • Copy & paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V)
  • Drag and drop a file onto the screen

Transforming an added image with AI

  1. In the Layers list on the right, click to select the image layer you want to change.
  2. Write the style or change you want in the AI box. (e.g., "turn it into watercolor")
  3. Press the Edit button and the selected image changes to that style.
