Inpainting & Object Removal: Perfect Your AI-Generated UI Designs
Have you ever generated a stunning UI mockup with AI—only to discover random artifacts, misplaced text, or overlapping icons that spoil the design? Whether you're dealing with an overzealous AI placement or an unwanted watermark, inpainting and object removal can quickly clean up your UI elements. In this post, you'll learn how to use our Element Editor to seamlessly remove unwanted objects and perfect your AI-generated interfaces.
Why Inpainting Matters for AI-Generated UI
Inpainting goes beyond a simple eraser tool. It intelligently fills in the gap after you remove an object by blending the surrounding area, so your UI remains consistent.
Key Benefits
- Polished Look: No more awkward cutouts or half-visible text.
- Time Savings: Instantly fix small design flaws without reworking the entire layout.
- High-Fidelity Results: Inpainting ensures the filled area matches your original background (or color scheme) for a professional finish.
Best Practices for Object Removal
One crucial tip for object removal is to slightly overselect the area you want to remove.
Selection Tips
- Drag the Corners Out: Add some extra space around the actual object—this margin helps the tool recognize and fill the edges smoothly.
- Avoid Clipping Good Elements: If your bounding box is too snug, the system may leave a visible 'edge' or partial outline.
- Aim for a Natural Fill: By giving inpainting enough room, you're less likely to notice where the fill begins or ends.
Step-by-Step Process
- 1Select the Unwanted Object: Click the element to highlight it or create a bounding box.
- 2Refine the Bounding Box: Expand edges to encompass extra background space.
- 3Use Inpainting: Confirm removal and let automatic filling occur.
- 4Repeat If Needed: Handle complex designs with multiple passes.
Common Use Cases and Troubleshooting
Understanding when and how to use inpainting effectively can transform your workflow.
Popular Applications
- Watermarks & Logos: Remove random brand logos or placeholder watermarks.
- Overlapping Buttons: Clean up multiple stacked buttons.
- Extraneous Text: Remove filler words or half-visible text.
- Background Clutter: Clear floating shapes or decorative elements.
Fine-Tuning Tips
- Layer Order: Remove top layers first to avoid revealing partial objects.
- Check for Sub-Elements: Make multiple passes for nested components.
- Complex Backgrounds: Handle gradients and patterns with expanded selections.
