Learn how to edit JPG mode images using AI chat

Last updated: January 15, 2025 • By PropAify Team

Editing JPG Images

JPG mode images are edited exclusively through AI chat prompts. There’s no manual visual editor—all changes are requested conversationally.

AI Chat Editing Only

Unlike SVG mode, JPG images don’t have a manual editor. All edits happen through conversation with AI.

Why Chat-Only?

JPG mode creates raster images with AI-interpreted content. The nature of these images makes conversational editing more effective than manual pixel manipulation.
