Multi-image editing with Kontext Max for complex, reference-driven changes.
The best image results come from specific composition, style, and lighting language. Be explicit about what should be in frame and what should feel dominant.
Best results start with a precise subject, composition, and style direction.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Edit Multi | Base image + reference image(s) + prompt | Reference-driven edits with Kontext Max quality |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Base image | Your upload | Image to edit |
| Reference(s) | One or more (check Pixio) | Style or content reference |
| Prompt | Your text | What to change and how to use the reference(s) |
| Edit strength | Low–High (check Pixio) | How much to change vs preserve |
| Credits | Plan-based | Check model card in Pixio |
Credits are plan-based; check the model card in Pixio for your plan and cost per image.
[What to change] + [how to use the reference(s)]. Be explicit (e.g. "apply the color grading of the reference to the base", "merge the style of reference 1 with the subject of the base"). Base and reference(s) define inputs; prompt defines the edit.
"Apply the warm, golden-hour lighting and color palette of the reference to the base image. Keep the composition and subjects of the base."
"Change the base to match the artistic style of the reference. Same subject and pose, new style."
"Use the reference for background style; replace the background of the base with that look. Preserve the subject."
"Combine the character from reference 1 with the setting of reference 2. Coherent lighting, Kontext Max quality."

Tell the model what should dominate the frame first.
Use lighting language early; it changes everything downstream.
When editing, describe what stays, not just what changes.
References help when continuity matters more than novelty.
A strong image prompt defines the subject, composition, lighting, and finish instead of leaving them implied.
Use precise visual language to control subject, composition, lighting, and style from the start.
Preserve the useful parts of the image while steering the rest with masks, references, or prompt edits.
Bring in reference images or LoRAs when consistency is more important than exploration.
Kontext Max Editing Multi is strongest when the visual brief is specific about framing, style, and what should read first.
Use it for campaign images, product shots, subject consistency, or polished concept work.
When editing, say exactly what changes and what must remain untouched.
Lock the subject, composition, and lighting direction before you chase style nuance.
Use references or edits when the same subject, style, or layout has to survive across versions.
Once the frame works, refine only the weak areas instead of rewriting the whole composition.
Finish strong compositions by scaling them without rebuilding the frame from scratch.
Use editing tools after the initial generation when the composition is right but the details still need polish.
