Image Tools

Stick Studio includes fast image-editing tools so you can clean up assets without leaving the browser-based editor.

Crop and resize quickly

Use crop and resize to tighten composition before you start stacking more edits.

Crop early so later text or overlay placement stays consistent.
Match the crop to the final canvas use case instead of editing blind.
Recheck quality after large size changes.

Remove backgrounds and clean up images

Background removal works best when the source image is already reasonably clean.

Use the highest-quality version of the source asset when possible.
Crop tighter around the subject before running removal on cluttered scenes.
Zoom in to review edges before placing the image over a new background.
Retry with a cleaner source if the subject edges look soft or noisy.

Adjust and enhance

Simple adjustments usually outperform aggressive edits.

Start with basic cleanup before piling on filters.
Use auto-enhance as a first pass, then fine-tune manually if needed.
Compare the edited result against the original at the final export size.

Generate or replace backgrounds with AI

AI tools move faster when the direction is simple and controlled.

Start with a clear subject and a specific visual goal.
Make one meaningful change at a time instead of stacking too many prompt ideas.
Review the output in the full canvas, not just in isolation.

Export checks

Before final delivery:

Confirm the export size matches the destination.
Use transparent-background options only when the export format supports them.
Run one quick test export before a client or team handoff.

When results still look wrong

If the image tool result still feels off:

Try a cleaner or larger source image.
Simplify the crop before running the tool again.
Check Troubleshooting before contacting support.
