Changelog

A running log of what's changing inside MODCAR.ai— new tools, improvements, and small details we couldn't resist polishing.

Clean up car photos without rebuilding the car

A new studio that removes windshield writing, dealer stickers and visible license plates from a photo you already have, while the body, paint, lighting and background stay as they were.

  • A third studio, built for small precise corrections instead of full modifications
  • Windshield writing, phone numbers, stickers and inspection labels removed on request
  • Visible license plates cleared before a photo goes onto a listing
  • Up to three reference images when an instruction needs a visual target
  • Failed edits refund their credits automatically

Most car photos fail on one detail. A price written across the windshield in grease pencil. An auction sticker nobody peeled off. A plate you would rather not publish. The car is fine, the light is fine, the shot is fine — and reshooting it costs an afternoon.

One photo, one instruction

Upload the photo you already have and describe the single change: remove the white phone number from the windshield, clear the front plate, take the mud off the lower panels. Say what should stay unchanged too — glass reflections, dashboard, paint, background — and the editor works inside that boundary. No masking, no cloning, no layers. Four starting prompts are built in if you would rather not write one.

Plates, glass and leftover labels

The three jobs it was built for: clearing a readable registration plate and rebuilding the bumper area behind it, wiping handwritten text off a windshield without flattening the reflections, and pulling dealer stickers, inspection labels and temporary decals off the body. Each edit costs 10 credits, and if one fails, the credits come back to your balance on their own.

When words are not enough

Some details do not survive a description — a specific wheel, a trim material, a lamp design. Add up to three reference images alongside the car, say which detail to borrow from each, and the editor has something to aim at. The first image is always the car being edited; the rest are only guides.

Smaller things

  • The products menu in the top navigation now previews each studio with an image and a one-line description, so it is clearer what each tool does before you click.
  • The photo editor has its own slot in the mobile tab bar, next to car mods, bike mods and background replacement.

Motorcycle modification for your own bike

Upload one photo of your motorcycle and preview exhausts, handlebars, paint, fairings and wheels on it — the same studio as the car tool, now for two wheels.

  • A second studio, built for motorcycles
  • Eleven categories of parts, from exhausts to luggage
  • Bikes get their own garage, separate from your cars
  • Background replacement now opens with before/after samples

Picking parts for a bike usually means imagining them. A slip-on exhaust looks right on the shop's demo model, but your bike is a different colour, a different year, and parked in your garage. The motorcycle studio puts the parts on your bike instead.

Your bike, not a demo model

Upload one photo — any angle, straight off your phone — and the AI works from that. Swap an exhaust, change the bars, try a different seat, and it's still your bike underneath, down to the plate and the garage floor. Each render takes about 30 seconds.

Parts, paint, or a whole build

Eleven categories to pull from: exhausts, handlebars, seats, fairings, windscreens, wheels, lights, luggage, graphics and paint. Stack as many as you like, or start from one of six style packs — cafe racer, scrambler, streetfighter, touring, track day, bobber — and adjust from there. If nothing in the catalogue matches what you had in mind, describe the part yourself and it gets added.

A separate garage

Bikes live in their own garage, apart from your cars. Saved builds and custom parts are counted separately, so starting on two wheels doesn't cost you a slot in the car studio.

Smaller things

  • The background replacement tool now opens with three before/after samples — a sedan, a truck and a bike. Drag across any of them to see what it does before uploading a photo of your own.

Background replacement for car photos

Upload a batch of car photos, pick a showroom or studio background, and download the whole set with the cars left exactly as you shot them.

  • Replace backgrounds on up to 20 photos at once
  • The car itself stays untouched
  • Five backgrounds built in, or upload your own
  • Download the finished batch as a ZIP

Photos taken on a lot rarely look like they belong in a listing. There's a fence, a power line, someone's van parked behind the car. The new background tool swaps all of that out in one go.

One background across a whole batch

Drop in up to 20 photos, pick one scene, and every car comes back against the same backdrop — so a row of listings looks like it was shot in the same place. Rename the files if you need to, then download the batch as a ZIP.

The car stays the car

Most tools cut the vehicle out and paste it onto a backdrop, which is where mirrors, glass and wheel arches start to look wrong. This one rebuilds the scene around the car instead, so what you photographed is what you get, scratches and all. If you'd rather have the lighting blended into the new surroundings, there's a second mode for that.

Bring your own showroom

Five scenes come built in: dark showroom, bright showroom, industrial studio, outdoor dealership and studio grey. On a paid plan you can upload a photo of your own floor and use it as a background from then on.

Clearer pricing plans

Refreshed the pricing page so each plan spells out exactly what you get, including an at-a-glance renders-per-month estimate.

  • Rewritten benefit lists for every plan
  • Approximate renders-per-month shown on each plan
  • Plainer descriptions for one-time credit packs

We gave the pricing page a copy pass so it's easier to see what each plan includes before you pick one.

Clearer plan descriptions

Hobby, Garage and Studio now spell out their benefits in plain language — how many cars you can save, watermark-free 2K downloads, full catalog access, and commercial licensing or priority queue where they apply. The one-time credit packs also make it clear that credits never expire and stack on any plan, including Free.

Renders at a glance

Each plan now shows an approximate number of renders per month based on its credit allowance, so it's easier to size the right plan for how much you build.

Faster public pages

The home, pricing, blog, and legal pages now load noticeably faster, with lighter brand imagery across the site.

  • Public pages load faster and feel instant on repeat visits
  • Lighter logo and preview imagery for a quicker first paint
  • Clearer alt text on the home page for screen readers

Faster public pages

We changed how the site builds its public pages, so the home page, pricing, blog, and our legal pages now load noticeably faster and feel close to instant on repeat visits. You should notice it most on a fresh visit or a slower connection.

Lighter imagery

The brand logo and the watermark on your AI previews are now smaller and quicker to download, and the home page comparison images were resized to load faster while staying sharp on high-resolution screens.

Smaller things

  • Added descriptive alt text to the home page feature images so screen readers can describe them accurately.
