AI Image Editing Comes to Bolt
Bolt added a significant new capability to its paid plans: AI-powered image editing directly inside the Bolt chatbox, powered by the Nano Banana model.
How It Works
When an image is present in a project, users can select it and describe the specific modification they want — whether a color adjustment, layout tweak, or stylistic change. Nano Banana applies the edit to only the described portion, preserving the rest of the design intact.
Availability and Token Usage
AI image editing is available on all Bolt paid plans and uses tokens from the user's existing plan allocation — no additional per-use charge.
Why It Matters
By embedding image editing directly into the development workflow, Bolt reduces the context-switching overhead that typically interrupts AI-assisted building. Instead of exporting, editing externally, and re-importing, users describe the change and continue building.
