Getting Started with VeilPix

Step 1: Upload Your Image

VeilPix supports multiple image formats including JPEG, PNG, and HEIC. Simply drag and drop your image or click to browse. The app automatically converts HEIC files from iPhone for optimal compatibility.

Step 2: Choose Your Editing Mode

🎨 Retouch Mode

Perfect for removing objects, enhancing details, or making localized edits.

⚡ Adjust Mode

Global adjustments like brightness, contrast, and color correction.

🎭 Filter Mode

Apply artistic filters and style transformations.

✂️ Crop Mode

Precise cropping with aspect ratio controls.

Step 3: Craft Effective Prompts

The key to great results with Google Nano Banana is writing clear, specific prompts. Here are proven strategies for better outcomes:

✅ Good Prompt Examples

  • "Remove the person in the red shirt from the background"
  • "Make the sky more dramatic with golden hour lighting"
  • "Enhance the subject's eyes and smooth skin naturally"
  • "Add warm, cinematic color grading"

❌ Avoid These Prompts

  • "Make it better" (too vague)
  • "Fix everything" (unclear objectives)
  • "Change the whole image" (too broad)
  • "Add something cool" (non-specific)

Advanced Techniques

Layered Editing Workflow

For complex edits, use VeilPix's history system to build upon previous edits. Start with global adjustments, then move to specific retouching, and finish with creative filters.

  1. 1. Global Corrections: Fix exposure, contrast, and color balance first
  2. 2. Object Removal: Remove unwanted elements from the scene
  3. 3. Enhancement: Improve specific areas like eyes, skin, or details
  4. 4. Creative Effects: Apply artistic filters or mood adjustments
  5. 5. Final Polish: Make subtle refinements and adjustments

Privacy-First Editing

VeilPix processes all images locally in your browser using Google Nano Banana, ensuring complete privacy:

Tips for Professional Results

🎯 Be Specific

Instead of "improve the photo," try "brighten the subject's face and add warm lighting to create a golden hour effect."

🔄 Iterate Gradually

Make small adjustments rather than dramatic changes. Use the undo/redo system to compare results.

📸 Start with Quality

Higher resolution, well-exposed images produce better AI editing results. Garbage in, garbage out applies to AI too.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-editing

Less is often more. Subtle, natural-looking edits are usually more effective than dramatic changes.

Ignoring Context

Consider the entire image when making edits. Changes should feel natural within the scene's lighting and style.

Rushing the Process

Take time to review each edit. Use the before/after preview to ensure you're improving the image.
