Best AI Image and Video Editing Tools in 2025 – Complete List
Things in the AI world change so fast that having a static list of the best tools is basically impossible.
Also, another challenge with creating such a list is that there are a plethora of AI image and video tools out there. So it’s not easy to fit them all into a single list.
What makes this list different than the others?
The list below has been created with the following two points in mind:
- It will always be periodically updated
- We will restrict the total number of tools to 10. Not more, not less. If a new AI tool comes in, it will take the place of an existing tool on the list. This ensures you are never overburdened with a lot of tools. You only see the best of the best.
So here we go:
Best AI Image Generation and Editing Tools
The best AI image tools are those that not only allow you to generate the image, but also allow you to edit them. Here are the top 5 in 2025:
1. Flux Kontext AI
Flux Kontext AI – Great for generating images where consistency is important, since it allows you to upload multiple reference images along with the prompt. Once the image is generated, you can also edit it by writing prompts. Check out our video below to see how it works:
2. Higgsfield AI Canvas
Higgsfield Canvas – Higgsfiled Canvas is the best tool when it comes to adding, replacing or modifying anything in an image using the method of inpainting along with a reference image. Check out our video below to see how it works:
3. Higgsfield AI Soul + Character
Higgsfield Soul is a great AI image generator when it comes to realism. But recently, Higgsfield also added the Character feature to it, which allows you to upload a few real life photos of a person to train Higgsfield Soul, so it can generate very real looking consistent characters. Check out our video below to see how this combination works:
4. Enhancor AI
Enhancor AI is the best at making AI images look more realistic. AI generated images, especially portraits, can often have that polished skin, which can make them look very fake. Enhancor AI has two tools – Upscaler and Enhance Skin, which can add real looking texture to the AI skin. It also comes with a lot of other AI image and video tools.
We’ll be releasing a dedicated tutorial on it soon. In the meantime, to get a quick idea of how it works, you can watch the video embedded below in the VEO 3 section — we’ve demonstrated Enhancor in that video as well.
5. ChatGPT AI 4o Image Generator
The ChatGPT 4o image generator started all this AI madness when it came out in March, 2025. Since then, the hype has gone down a bit, since other tools like Higgsfield and Flux Kontext came into the picture.
However, ChatGPT is still very good at creating images where realism is not that important. For example, it’s the best at creating loud/fantasy images, illustrations, graphic designing and even at editing images, as long as you don’t mind the image getting altered a bit. Check out the video below to see some use-cases:
Best AI Video Generation and Editing Tools
1. VEO 3
In July 2025, the image-to-video capability was added to VEO 3. And it instantly made it the number one AI video tool out there. Since it also has the ability to generate the audio for the video right from the prompt itself, it is currently undisputed. Check out our video below to see how this works:

2. Higgsfield AI Visual Effects
Higgsfiled AI is just amazing when you want videos with fancy camera movements and visual effects. The best part is that the visual effects don’t look cheesy at all. In fact they are so impressive that a lot of traditional VFX software are feeling the heat. Check out our video below to see how it works:
3. Kling AI
Kling AI was undoubtedly the number one before VEO 3 added the image-to-video capability. But Kling is still amazing as it’s way cheaper than VEO 3. Here is a video that demonstrates its power:
4. HeyGen AI
HeyGen AI is the best when it comes to creating AI avatars, i.e, making the person in an image talk via a transcript and lip syncing. Ever since HeyGen released the new Avatar 4 model, the realism in the avatars has gone to the next level with human-like emotions and gestures. Check out our video below to see how it works:
5. Pika AI
Pika AI is amazing when you want to quickly generate videos which are kind of light-hearted and fun and easy to create. It has loads of features that allow you to replace, add or modify anything in a video. The effects may not look too real but if your main aim is to generate something playful, it’s one the best.
