## Editing After Generation

Not quite right? You can edit any generated image without starting from scratch. Open the image from your project to access the chat-based editor — describe what you'd like to change and AI will revise it. You can also resize images to different aspect ratios.

Credits are deducted for each edit. Learn more in the [full image editing guide](/guides/create/image-ads#editing-generated-images).

## Tips for Better Results

* **Use high-quality product images** — The better your source images, the better the output.
* **Set up your Brand Kit first** — Adding your brand colors, fonts, and style preferences helps AI generate on-brand creatives. See [Brand Kit](/guides/create/brand-kit).
* **Try multiple methods** — Each creation method produces different styles. Experiment to find what works best for your product.
