Edit Instagram Stories with Meta AI: Transform Your Look Instantly

New Delhi: Meta has launched its new AI-powered 'Restyle' feature, which makes photo and video editing super easy right within the app. Now what is the need for outside apps? Completely change the look of your story with just a few taps and a smart prompt. This tool is powered by Meta AI, which handles lighting, background, or even objects. 

How to edit photos with Restyle, step by step?

This tool is best for photo lovers! Tap 'on profile,' and select a photo for the story. The restyle icon will appear on the top right of the editing screen—click on it. Now choose 'Add,' 'Remove,' or 'Change.' Type a prompt, such as 'Make the background sunset orange' or 'Add fairy lights to the sky.' The more detailed the prompt, the better—try 'add warm golden sunlight' instead of 'make it brighter.' Check the preview, hit 'Done,' and post! This AI is an expert in sky change, hair color, and removing photobombers.

How will Restyle be used in video stories?

The method for video is a little different but equally simple! Select the video in Story, and tap the Restyle icon in the editing tray. There are preset effects like 'Snow,' 'Rain,' or 'Cinematic Lighting'—just choose and apply. You can also play from prompts, such as 'convert video to anime style.' Meta says it is perfect for short videos, and if you specify mood or composition in the prompt, the result is wow! Right now the focus is on photos, but upgrades for videos will also come soon.

How to share an edited story with Restyle—is it free?

Sharing is double the fun! Add the 'Add Yours' sticker to your AI-edited story. When friends tap, they can also apply the same effect to their story—the trend will begin! And good news: this tool is completely free. No premium subscription or Meta AI plan needed. Just update to the latest app and get started. Privacy debates are also going on, because the content can be used for AI training, but Meta says users will have control.

Why is this feature a game-changer? 

Friends, with Restyle your creativity will skyrocket—try anime, watercolor, or 8-bit styles. Adam Mosseri showed it in the demo, and now real users are sharing in Reels. But keep the prompt specific; otherwise, the result may be general. There is a craze for stories in India; this feature will prove to be a hit.
