The 7 Free-ish Photo Tools Hiding in Gendia (and When to Use Each)

I spent about a month generating images in Gendia before I noticed the Tools tab, which is embarrassing, because half of what I'd been re-generating from scratch could have been fixed in one click for 10 credits.

There are eight of them. They're not generators: you hand them a photo you already have and they change one thing about it. That distinction matters: editing is far cheaper than regenerating, and it doesn't disturb everything that was already right.

If you've searched "remove background from image AI", "누끼 따기", or "upscale photo without losing quality", they're all here.

The eight, and what they cost

Tool	What it does	Credits
Background remover	Cuts the subject out, transparent background	10
AI background change	Replaces the background with a described one	20
Object remover	Paint over something; it fills in behind	20
AI photo retouch	Skin, blemishes, general clean-up	20
Photo restoration	Repairs old, damaged or faded photos	20
AI image resize	Reframes to a new aspect ratio, inventing edges	20
Photo enhancer	Upscales 2× or 4×, adds real detail	46 / 185
Smart Layers	Splits an image into separately editable layers	60+

Everything except the enhancer and Smart Layers is a flat 10 or 20 credits. That's cheaper than almost every image model on the platform, so when the fix is small, fix it rather than rolling the dice on a fresh generation.

When to use which

Background remover: 10 credits

The cheapest thing on Gendia and probably the most useful. Product on a white background, subject cut out for a poster, a logo lifted off its backing.

It gives you a genuine transparent PNG, not a white rectangle. That matters the moment you drop it onto a coloured layout.

AI background change: 20 credits

Different job from the one above. You describe the new background and it swaps it in, keeping your subject's lighting roughly consistent. Use it when you want the product in a scene rather than floating on nothing.

Object remover: 20 credits

Mask the thing you don't want and it reconstructs what was behind. Power lines, a stray hand in frame, a logo you can't use, the reflection of the photographer.

Works best on things with simple backgrounds behind them. A person standing in front of a plain wall vanishes cleanly; one standing in front of complicated architecture is harder.

AI photo retouch: 20 credits

Skin and general clean-up. Portraits, model shots, anything where the shot is right and the surface needs help.

Photo restoration: 20 credits

Old family photos, scans, faded prints, tears and creases. This is the one I'd point a non-technical person at first, because the before/after is startling and it needs no skill at all.

AI image resize: 20 credits

Not a crop. It reframes: you ask for a different aspect ratio and it invents the extra edges plausibly. A 16:9 hero becomes a 9:16 story without cutting your subject in half.

Genuinely useful when one shot has to serve Instagram, YouTube and a website banner.

Photo enhancer: 46 or 185 credits

Upscaling, 2× or 4×, and it adds real detail rather than just making the file bigger.

Watch the price here. 4× costs four times 2×, because it's billed on output megapixels and 4× produces four times as many. If 2× reaches the size you need, take 2×, I've paid 185 for something 46 would have covered more than once.

The chain that does most product work

Here's the order I use for a product photo, and it costs 60 credits end to end:

Step 1: Cut it out (10)

Background remover. Now you have the product on transparency, free of whatever kitchen table it was shot on.

Step 2: Put it somewhere better (20)

Background change, describing the setting you want. Studio seamless, marble surface, soft daylight.

Step 3: Clean up what's left (20)

Object remover for a stray reflection, or retouch if a surface looks rough.

Step 4: Size it up, once, at the end (46)

Enhance 2× when everything else is settled. Never in the middle, you'd pay to upscale detail you're about to change.

Sixty credits, from a phone photo to something usable. A single Nano Banana Pro generation costs twice that and gives you a different product rather than yours.

Smart Layers: from 60 credits

The newest of the set, and by far the most expensive, because it isn't one operation: it's one render per layer. It takes a finished composition and hands back its pieces, each separately movable and restylable.

Worth it when you need to keep editing an image rather than change one thing about it. Full guide.

The mistake worth avoiding

Don't regenerate when you can edit. If an image is 90% right, a 20-credit tool fixes the 10% and leaves the rest alone. Generating again produces a new image where the bit you liked has also changed, and you pay full price to discover that.

This is the single habit that most changed how far my credits go.

Try them

Open the tools and start with the background remover on any photo on your phone: it's 10 credits and the result tells you immediately whether the rest is worth your time.
