# About importing

Recraft Studio lets you bring your own images into the canvas. Imported images can be used across the platform’s tools, from mockups and vectorization to prompt-based editing and fine-tuning.

Once imported, your image can be used to:

* Generate a variation of the original visual
* Use as a reference for prompt-based generation
* Remove the background
* Vectorize raster images (e.g., PNG to SVG)
* Remix or edit specific areas with prompts
* Apply your image to a product mockup
* Extend the image using outpainting (frame tool)
* Create a custom style for consistent generation
* Upscale to increase resolution and detail

**Notes on imported and edited images**

* Only **original generated images** are saved to project history. Images that have been edited e.g., background removed or fine-tuned) will not appear in the project timeline.
* Imported images, whether added to the canvas or uploaded to create a custom style, are not used for training AI models.
* To reuse edited images, first **export them**, then **re-import** as needed.
* When importing an image, Recraft Studio may default to an external model to enable natural language editing.
