AI Image Glossary
Every term you'll run into, explained in plain English — plus the tool that does it.
AI Headshot
A professional-looking portrait generated or enhanced by AI from a casual photo. Used for LinkedIn, resumes, and company pages. → LinkedIn Avatar, Resume Photo
Upscaling
Increasing an image's resolution with AI that invents plausible detail — turning a small or blurry image into a sharp, larger one. → Image Upscaler
Background Removal
Isolating the subject of a photo and deleting everything behind it — essential for product listings and profile pictures. → Background Remover
Inpainting / Object Removal
Erasing an object or person from a photo while the AI fills in the gap with matching background. → Object Remover
Style Transfer
Applying the visual style of one image or art movement to another — turning a photo into anime, an oil painting, or pixel art. → Photo to Painting, Anime Avatar, Ghibli Style
Photo Restoration
Repairing scratches, fading, and damage on old photographs — often with colorization of black-and-white originals. → Photo Restoration
Img2Img (image-to-image)
Generation that starts from your photo instead of a blank canvas — the AI transforms it while keeping the composition. Most Crevisto photo tools work this way. → Scene Remix, Cartoon Portrait
Text-to-Image
Generation from a written prompt with no input photo. Crevisto tools wrap this in presets so you describe less and get more predictable results. → Logo Maker, Event Poster
Credits (pay-per-use)
A prepaid unit you spend per generation instead of a monthly subscription. On Crevisto, credits never expire — $2 buys 10. → Pricing
BYOK (bring your own key)
Using your own AI provider API key (e.g., OpenRouter) inside a tool, so generations bill to your provider account instead of credits. → BYOK guide
Virtual Try-On
AI that renders clothing, hairstyles, or tattoos onto your photo so you can preview changes before committing. → Outfit Try-On, Hairstyle Preview, Tattoo Preview
Product Photography (AI)
Studio-quality product images generated from a plain photo — new backgrounds, lighting, and context without a shoot. → Product Studio, Product Lifestyle
