AI Features
Generative Fill
Select an area, press G, and describe what you want. Morph generates 3 variations using AI. Pick the one you like, or regenerate for more options. The result is applied as a new layer so your original stays intact.
AI Object Remove
Press R, paint over the object you want to remove, and Morph fills the area with matching background. Works best on simple backgrounds and small-to-medium objects.
Select Subject
Press Alt+S to automatically detect and select the main subject in your image. This runs entirely in your browser using an AI segmentation model — no upload required. Use it to isolate a subject, remove a background, or start a targeted edit.
