Upload & Edit Your Images on Caimera

Caimera’s Upload & Edit tool lets you bring in any image you have the rights to use whether it’s from an older campaign, a recent photoshoot, or a quick shot you just captured and make precise edits using Caimera’s tools. Instead of reshooting content, you can refresh and repurpose visuals you already love. Upload your image, make the adjustments you need, and instantly give it a new look, updated styling, or a different creative direction.

Here's a quick video showing how to use the Upload & Edit Tool:

🔧 Perfect For

Replacing an outfit or part of an outfit while keeping the same model and image setting.
Adjusting arm or leg placement for better symmetry or flow.
Refining garment styling details.
Enhancing image composition without disrupting the overall scene.

Step 1: Open Upload & Edit from the left navigation rail, or from the tool switcher at the top-left of the Editor. The rail sits collapsed as a slim column of icons and expands when you move your pointer over it.

Navigate to the Upload and Edit tool on the left sidebar

Step 2: Upload your input image and make sure that you confirm that you have the legal right to use and modify the image.

Upload the Image

💡 You can bring images in from more than your desktop: every dropzone also accepts Paste from your clipboard, Add from Library (your saved Generations, References and Products), and Google Drive from the More dropdown.

Step 3: Once you've added your image, reviewed the condition tick it, and click on the Upload & Start Editing button.

Crop, zoom and rotate before you generate

Click the circular edit icon on any uploaded image to open the image editing modal. There you can:

Crop with precision boundaries, rendered from the full-resolution source image.
Zoom up to 3x.
Rotate smoothly from -180° to +180°.

Corner brackets and edge tick markers help you align and centre the subject. Saving applies the change to your workspace straight away while keeping the original source data intact. The same modal is available across Recolor, Apply Print (Print Designer), Fabric Pattern Designer, Image Padding, Add Product, and multi-image dropzones.

**Step 4: Your updated images will appear in the History **section.

You can use Edit This Image to add specific garments or elements—like bags, shoes, or accessories—by uploading them through the “+” button. The tool also lets you adjust styling, remove or add pieces, change the fit or length of existing garments, fix hands, or even modify the model’s pose or expression using simple prompts.

Step 9: Download it by clicking on the "Download" button and choose the file format and quality you need.

The download options popover also lets you:

Add AI disclosure — either an official AI disclosure (EU) label (AI, AI generated or AI modified) drawn into the bottom-left corner, or a text watermark in your own wording. Leave Colour on Auto to let Caimera pick the black or white version that stands out.
Add image metadata — embed XMP subject keywords so disclosure information travels with the file.
Save it elsewhere — send the file to Google Drive, GlobalEdit or Bynder instead of your disk.

Placement prints made here export as SVGs with independently selectable connected shapes, preserving the original canvas size and background. Choose the Graphic prompt type for those; sketch outputs use the dedicated sketch SVG export instead.
