Replace Anything

What is Replace Anything?

Replace Anything is an AI framework for swapping elements in images while maintaining visual quality. It can change backgrounds, swap faces, update clothing, and more in photos of people, products, or pets. The workflow: select the part of the image to keep (or upload a black-and-white mask image), type what you want to create or upload a reference image, and hit “Run”.

The framework balances generating new content with preserving the identity of selected objects. It keeps chosen identities consistent and understands distinctions — such as between a person and their clothing — so replacements match expectations.

Who created Replace Anything?

Replace Anything was developed by the Institute for Intelligent Computing, part of Alibaba Group.
