Edit images directly in the Files tab

GAEditorReleased Oct 2026Plan not verifiedSource: docs.lovable.dev

Edit images directly in the Files tab is Lovable's Editor feature: You can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab.

You can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab. Open the image and select Edit , then draw over an area and describe the change, pin a comment where you want something changed, erase what you want removed, or remove the background. Lovable saves the result as a new file next to the original.

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

  1. Stand it up from scratch

    You have read the record and want Edit images directly in the Files tab working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

    Set up Edit images directly in the Files tab in this project — you can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

    Expected outcome

    A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

  2. Decide whether it fits your project

    Worth five minutes before you wire anything in. Edit images directly in the Files tab sits in Editor, and not every project needs it.

    I am building the project in this workspace. Given that Edit images directly in the Files tab you can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab, tell me honestly whether it fits what I am building, including the cases where I should not use it. If it does fit, give me the single smallest first step.

    Expected outcome

    A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.

  3. Brief your team on it

    Someone has to explain the change to the people who will live with it. This produces that note.

    Write a short note for my team about Edit images directly in the Files tab in Lovable — you can now mark a change directly on an image in your project's Files tab. Under 120 words: what it is, what changes for us, and what we should do about it this week. Plain language, no hype, no bullet padding.

    Expected outcome

    A note you can paste into chat as-is. Read it once for anything overstated before you send it.
