What is this tool?

Brand Studio fits marketing and e-commerce teams whose job is editing product and campaign images precisely, such as placing a product into a scene or replacing one region of a picture, more than one-off prompting. The plan split is the decision: Free, Creator and Core are single-seat, and the features that make it a brand tool (brand guidelines and custom brand models, multi-step production plans, SSO, unlimited seats) are Enterprise-only. Credits reset monthly without rollover, and Stability's knowledge base does not say what an image or edit costs in credits.

Read full overview

You sign in at brandstudio.com with a Stability AI account, generate an image or upload one, and refine it with editing tools, including Precision Inpainting for targeted replacement and Product Insertion for placing a product into a scene, before saving it to a project Library.

Plans are monthly subscriptions that renew until cancelled: Creator ($19, 2,000 credits a month) and Core ($50, 6,000 credits) are single-seat, and Enterprise is priced on request. Credits reset each billing cycle without rollover and paid plans can buy top-ups. The free trial has no time limit and ends when its credits run out, though Stability's own pages give two different sizes for it.

Stability AI's terms (effective 30 September 2026) say you keep ownership of your inputs and the outputs, to the extent the law allows, and must check outputs are accurate and lawful before using them. By default Stability may use inputs and outputs to improve its services, including training its models, unless you opt out, and prompts sent to third-party models may be shared with those providers.

Is this right for you?

Choose this if
  • Your work is editing product and campaign images, such as placing a product into a scene or replacing one region, rather than generating one-off pictures
  • You want one subscription that reaches several image models, with Core choosing the model for each task
  • You run an enterprise brand team that needs brand guidelines and custom brand models applied to every generation, with SSO and unlimited seats
Consider alternatives if
  • Several people need seats or brand controls without an enterprise contract: Free, Creator and Core are single-seat
  • You budget per image: Stability's knowledge base does not say how many credits an image or edit costs, and unused credits do not roll over
  • You don't want your prompts and images used for model training by default; Stability AI's terms require you to opt out
  • You may want money back after cancelling: Stability says refunds for cancellations are generally not issued

Key features

What you can actually do with this tool.

Generate, then edit

Start from a prompt or an uploaded image and keep working on it with outpaint, remove and inpaint, style presets, style-reference guides, adjustments and upscaling.

Precision Inpainting and Product Insertion

Replace one part of an image guided by a reference or a sketch, or place a product into a new scene, the two tools that suit product and campaign work.

Several models behind one prompt

Prompts are routed across Stability's own models, such as Stable Diffusion, and third-party models, or you pick the model yourself; Core adds Curated Model Routing, which chooses per task.

Brand Central and Producer Mode (Enterprise)

Enterprise teams store brand guidelines, logos and custom brand models that steer every generation, and plan multi-step productions; SSO and unlimited seats come with it.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this tool, answered.

What happened to DreamStudio?

Stability AI renamed it Brand Studio. dreamstudio.ai redirects to brandstudio.com, Stability's knowledge base refers to 'Brand Studio (formerly Dream Studio)', and you sign in with a Stability AI account. It was relaunched on 8 April 2026 as a creative production platform for brands.

Is there a free version?

There is a free trial with a one-time credit allotment and no time limit; it ends when the credits are used. Stability's pages disagree on its size: 500 credits in the plan overview and credits FAQ, 1,000 credits in the getting-started guide.

Who owns the images I make?

Stability AI's terms say you keep ownership of your inputs and of the outputs, to the extent the law allows, and that you are responsible for checking outputs are accurate and lawful before using them.

What happens to my credits if I cancel?

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle and credits stay usable until then; monthly credits never roll over, refunds for cancellations are generally not issued, and the account stays accessible afterwards.
