# Studio tools

The Studio's tools in full: Create Image, Create Video, Animate a Photo, Edit Image, Upscale, Remove Background and Spaces, with what each does, its controls and its credit price.

The Tools page lists seven tools. All of them need a signed-in account to run, and all spend from your one credit pool. The price shows before you run. See [What actions cost](https://www.uova.com/help/billing/costs).

## Create Image

Generates images from a text prompt, with an optional reference image. Opens at [/studio/create/image](https://www.uova.com/studio/create/image). See [Create an image](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/create-an-image).

## Create Video

Generates videos from a text prompt. Opens at [/studio/create/video](https://www.uova.com/studio/create/video). See [Create a video](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/create-a-video).

## Animate a Photo

Turns one image into a moving clip. It is the Create Video page in image-to-video mode, so it has the same controls, and it takes one start image only.

## Edit Image

Opens at [/studio/image-editor](https://www.uova.com/studio/image-editor). Drop or pick an image, choose a tool in the toolbar, set its options and apply it. Each tool has its own price, charged when you apply it. A picture larger than 1,024 px is scaled down to 1,024 px on its longest side when it enters the editor, and the edit models work at that size.

| Toolbar tool | What it does | Options | Credits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Edit with prompt** | Changes the picture from a written instruction. | Prompt, for example "add a lion in the corner". | 80 |
| **Inpaint / Retouch** | Repaints an area you paint over. | A brush from 5 to 100 px, and a prompt for what to fill in. | 100 |
| **Expand canvas** | Extends the picture beyond its edges. | Left, Right, Top and Bottom, 0 to 300 px each, with presets **Expand All**, **Widen**, **Taller** and **Extend Right**. An optional prompt for what to fill. | 170 |
| **Restyle image** | Applies a new look to the picture. | 12 styles (Oil Painting, Watercolor, Anime, Pixel Art, 3D Cartoon, Comic Book, Cyberpunk, Ghibli, Synthwave, Claymation, Lo-Fi, Vaporwave) or a custom style prompt, and a **Strength** slider from 40 to 100. | 74 |
| **Change camera angle** | Shows the subject from another angle. | **Rotation** 0 to 360 degrees, **Tilt** from -30 to 60 degrees, **Zoom** 0 to 10, and presets Front, Right, Back, Left, High and Low. A batch mode makes 12 angles at once. | 80 per angle |
| **Remove / Replace** | Removes or changes something you describe. | A prompt, for example "remove the person". | 147 |

If your balance is short, the editor says "Not enough credits. Need <N> but have <M>." before anything is sent. A failed edit is refunded. The result is saved to your [Library](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/library-and-downloads), and from the editor you can send the picture to **Upscale**.

## Upscale

The page is titled **Image Upscaler** and opens at [/studio/upscale](https://www.uova.com/studio/upscale). It enlarges an image with the Clarity upscaler. Drop an image or click to upload (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 20 MB), or choose one of your recent images.

| Control | Values | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Scale Factor** | 2x or 4x. These are the only two. | 2x |
| **Creativity** | A slider from 0 to 100%. Higher lets the model invent more detail. | 35% |
| **Resemblance** | A slider from 0 to 100%. Higher stays closer to the original. | 60% |

The price is the output size in megapixels times 55.1 credits, rounded up to a whole credit, so a 1 megapixel result is 56 credits and a 2 megapixel result is 111. The page shows it as **Cost: <N> credits** with your size and the result size, for example "1024x1024 to 2048x2048", and the same number is charged. The button reads **Upscale 2x** or **Upscale 4x**. When it finishes you see the original and the upscaled size, a **Download** button and **Upscale Again**, and the page notes how many credits were used.

> **No 4K target:** Upscale works by a factor of 2x or 4x on your image. It has no 4K setting, so the result is 2 or 4 times each side of the original, not a fixed resolution.

## Remove Background

The page is titled **Background Remover** and opens at [/studio/remove-bg](https://www.uova.com/studio/remove-bg). Drop an image or click to upload (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 20 MB). It cuts the subject out onto a transparent background for 50 credits per image. The result has a before and after slider, **Download PNG** and **Remove Another**. If your balance is below 50, the page says "Not enough credits. Need 50 but have <M>."

## Spaces

A node canvas where generations are chained. Opens at [/studio/spaces](https://www.uova.com/studio/spaces). See [Spaces](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/spaces).

## Where results go

Outputs from Upscale, Remove Background and Edit Image are recorded in your [Library](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/library-and-downloads), the same as generated images. The upload screens of Upscale and Remove Background also list your recent images so you can pick one without uploading it again.

## Limits

- The tools work on images. There is no video editor and no video upscaler.
- Audio is made only inside the [Lock-in agent](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/lock-in-agent).
- 3D model generation, voice cloning, face swap and lip-sync are not offered.
