AI Editing

​

Overview

AI Editing is built for revising text in your note. Select a passage to improve clarity, change its length, or adjust its tone while keeping its meaning and surrounding context. You review the suggestion before applying it.

​

Edit Text

1. Select the text you want to edit
2. Choose an editing option
3. Review the suggested text
4. Apply or copy it

If you cancel a suggestion by mistake, press Cmd+Z (Ctrl+Z on Windows) immediately to restore it without generating it again.

​

Editing options

• Smart rewrite: Improve clarity while preserving the meaning
• Shorten: Remove repetition and extra words
• Lengthen: Add explanation based on the selected text
• Revise: Fix grammar and typos
• Deslop: Reduce generic or exaggerated AI-style phrasing

​

Custom editing with Cmd+J

Select text and press Cmd+J to open the custom instruction field. Enter a specific request, such as “Make this concise while keeping the formal tone.”

​

Choose a Model

You can change the model used to edit selected text. See Models and Reasoning for the available options.

​

AI Editing vs. Rephrase

Rephrase is designed for short passages and gives you several alternatives. Use AI Editing when you want to adjust length, revise text, or give a custom instruction for the selected passage.

​

Editing Example

Smart rewrite can change “The meeting will take place on Tuesday next week” to “The meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday.” The meaning stays the same, but the sentence is more direct. Before applying a suggestion, check that it preserves your intent and facts.

Generate an Image in Your Note

On the desktop web app, create an image from a prompt at the place where you want it to appear, review the result, then insert it into your note.

1. Open the + menu or type / in your note, then choose Generate image
2. Describe the image you want, such as “A wide view of the ocean at sunset”
3. Review the generated image
4. Enter another instruction if you want to adjust the result
5. Choose Insert this image to add it to your note, or Cancel to discard it

The first prompt and each follow-up prompt create a new image and use credits. Generations recorded as failed by the server don’t use credits. If the app stops waiting before processing finishes, a generation that later completes can still use credits. See Plans & Pricing for details. If you leave or reload the note while an image is being generated, reopen the same note within 24 hours to review an uninserted result. Results closed with Cancel or Esc aren’t restored. The generation placeholder and result are visible only to the person who started the request. Collaborators see an empty placeholder.

​

Adjust an Image That Supports Your Writing

When an image in your note needs to match the writing better, you can adjust it without leaving the editor. Keep the text in view while you describe the change, review the preview, then decide whether to replace the original.

1. Select or hover over an image to show its toolbar, then choose Edit
2. Enter a free-form instruction, such as “Change the background to a sunset”
3. Review the generated image preview
4. Enter additional instructions if you want to refine the result
5. Choose Replace with this image to update the image in your note, or Cancel to discard the result

Each image-editing instruction, including the first and any follow-up instructions, creates a new result image and uses credits. Credits are not refunded if you discard a result instead of replacing the original. See Plans & Pricing for details. The original image stays unchanged until you choose Replace with this image. It also stays unchanged if the edit fails.

Image editing requirements

• You can edit images uploaded to a note or created in Inki and inserted into a note. Images from external links cannot be edited.
• PNG, JPEG, and GIF source images are supported. GIFs are edited as a still image using their first frame.
• Each instruction creates one PNG result image. Inki automatically chooses a square, landscape, or portrait result closest to the original image’s aspect ratio.
