- After selection, a pop-up will appear next to it and select Generative Fill.
- Then, type in what you want to add and click Create.
Users can Try Again or change their prompt. Use the arrows to browse and click Keep to add a choice.
Note: Generative fill will be available on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs for Windows Insiders in select markets. A Microsoft account is required, and availability may change by region.
Generative Erase
Generative Erase is a new AI tool for removing unwanted objects from an image. It fills the space, making the picture look like those objects were never there.
Let’s check how to use the Generatvie Erase tool.
- Select Generative Erase on the left side of the canvas with the eraser tool.

Click Apply to remove the object.
You can also use rectangular or freeform selection tools from the pop-up menu or right-click menu to specify areas for removal.
