Every creative project has an “almost right” moment.

You’ve found the perfect stock asset. Well… almost.

The composition is right, but you need a different crop. The image is exactly the right style, but there’s a distracting object in the background. The stock video has the perfect camera movement, but you wish the scene had continued just a little longer or taken the story in a different direction.

For years, solving those small problems meant breaking your creative flow. Download the asset. Open another editing tool. Make the change. Export it. Return to your project.

But most of the time, you didn’t need a different asset. You just needed the right one.

That’s why we built Envato’s Edit with AI.

Instead of treating stock assets as fixed downloads, Edit with AI turns them into creative starting points that you can personalize without leaving Envato. Whether you’re adapting an image for a campaign, building on a stock video, or making quick creative refinements while you’re still browsing, Edit with AI helps you keep moving instead of switching tools.

What is Envato’s Edit with AI?

Edit with AI is an AI-powered editing experience that helps creatives personalize supported stock assets without leaving Envato.

Rather than starting from a blank prompt, Edit with AI begins with professionally created stock assets and offers simple ways to adapt them to your project.

That might mean reframing an image for a different format, removing distractions, replacing text, recoloring artwork, or building on a supported stock video by using it as the creative starting point for something new.

Instead of replacing professional stock with AI, Edit with AI combines the best of both. You start with professionally created assets, personalize them with AI, and continue creating without leaving your workflow.

Every supported asset becomes more flexible, more reusable, and ultimately more valuable.

How Edit with AI helps you personalize stock

Edit with AI is designed around the kinds of creative adjustments professionals make every day.

Personalize stock images

Editing stock images with AI lets you quickly adapt assets without opening another editing application.

Depending on the asset, you can:

  • reframe for different aspect ratios
  • replace or update text
  • expand images
  • recolor assets
  • make prompt-based creative edits like change the lighting or swap out a character

These are often the small changes that previously interrupted your workflow, even though the asset was already close to what you needed.

Build on stock videos

Editing stock video with AI can also become creative starting points.

Instead of generating footage from a blank prompt, you can use a short section of a supported stock clip as a visual reference and build on it with AI. It’s a different way of thinking about stock video—not as a finished asset, but as the beginning of a new creative idea.

This is particularly useful when you’ve found footage with the right movement, pacing, or emotion but need something that fits your project more closely.

Creatives commonly use this workflow to:

  • create matching B-roll
  • bridge scenes
  • extend visual ideas
  • generate variations while maintaining a consistent visual style

Rather than replacing stock footage, you’re unlocking more creative possibilities from it.

Why start with stock instead of generating from scratch?

Many AI tools begin with an empty prompt. Envato’s Edit with AI begins with professionally created stock. That difference matters.

Professional stock already gives you thoughtfully composed imagery, production-quality video, and assets created by experienced artists and creators. Instead of asking AI to invent everything from scratch, you’re giving it a strong creative foundation to build on.

That often means faster results, more predictable outputs, and less time refining prompts.

Envato’s Edit with AI isn’t about replacing professional stock.

It’s about helping you get even more value from it.

Stay in your creative flow

The best creative tools don’t interrupt your workflow.

They remove friction from it.

That’s the idea behind Envato’s Edit with AI.

Instead of treating stock assets as fixed downloads, Edit with AI helps you personalize professional stock while you’re still creating. Whether you’re refining an image, adapting an asset for a new campaign, or building on a stock video to create something new, every supported asset becomes a more flexible creative starting point.

Because sometimes you don’t need a different asset. You just need the right one.
