How SoftOrbits’ prompt-based image editing software helps beginners achieve professional results
SoftOrbits was founded by Eugene Ustinenkov in 2006 as a software development company focusing on image data processing. Starting as a small team of enthusiasts, the project grew to become one of the leading niche companies, with more than 300,000 users as well as over 1,000,000 yearly downloads.
Following SoftOrbits’ core philosophy of providing beginners access to expert-level photo editing tools, the team’s recent introduction of AI to seven of its utilities marks a huge step towards increasing the accessibility of the hobby. In 2025, SoftOrbits integrated prompt-based editing capabilities in its AI Photo Editor, making it one of the most advanced and user-friendly tools available to photography enthusiasts.
“As soon as we heard of the first neural networks and their capabilities, we knew we had to use them in our products. It took a bit of time for the technology to become advanced enough, admittedly, but now it provides reliable outcomes and understands user intent perfectly. Our team always focused on user-friendliness and accessibility, and there is nothing quite as simple as telling the software what to do and enjoying the result,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits, Candidate of Technical Sciences.
AI Photo Editor and its new functionalities
While the team has only introduced new AI features at the end of last month, AI Photo Editor has already experienced massive growth in popularity, with downloads increasing by over 20%. It comes as no surprise: the current version of AI Photo Editor is an incredibly comprehensive tool capable of numerous different image editing tasks — the opportunities are only limited by the user’s imagination.
“We believe that our main audience is users who need a quick, affordable, simple, and effective solution to photo editing issues, so AI Photo Editor is mostly suited for content creators and marketing teams, as well as for personal photo enhancement. However, we’ve had positive feedback from professional photographers, graphic designers, and digital artists, so you might consider the tool to be universally helpful,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits with 10+ years of software development expertise.
On its website, SoftOrbits showcases several examples of what an AI-powered editor can achieve: from making the skies more sunny and adding various objects to the landscape to converting photos into anime drawings. Here are some of the most popular features among users:
SoftOrbits AI Photo Editor Features Smart portrait enhancement The AI is capable of perfecting portraits with natural-looking enhancements.

Flexible background manipulation AI Photo Editor can change the photo’s setting instantly according to any user prompt. Removing unwanted backgrounds or replacing them with any scene imaginable has never been this easy.
As of today, SoftOrbits AI Photo Editor provides customizable AI preferences, clear non-destructive editing capabilities, high-resolution support up to 8K, multi-format export feature, and RAW file support. This makes it one of the most reliable tools in the market, and the team only plans to improve it further.
“Natural language recognition is unparalleled when it comes to users with no photo editing expertise. Now, there’s no need to learn complex software or spend hours watching tutorials — just say what you need, and the tool will do the rest. We believe that nothing comes even close to that level of intuitiveness, speed, and quality as this, and we are focused on regularly updating and improving AI Photo Editor to make it even better,” says Eugene Ustinenkov, CEO of SoftOrbits and AlarmFront.
The future of Softorbits AI Photo Editor
The team behind SoftOrbits already has several plans to upgrade the AI Photo Editor, especially focusing on developing the batch processing feature with customizable prompts. This reflects the company’s history — back in 2010, SoftOrbits was the first team in the world to offer software for batch removal of date stamps, watermarks, and logos from photos and videos.
“Batch processing has always been the signature feature of SoftOrbits’ software, so we absolutely will add it to the AI Photo Editor in the future. However, this is just one of our current goals. The next big step is switching our marketing model to SaaS, ensuring immediate access to our tools and removing hardware requirements,” says Hannes Jansen, writer and editor at SoftOrbits.
