Image to image

Keep the scene. Change the look.

Start from a photo and decide how much of it survives. The source stays on your device throughout the edit. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud.

Before you install

The practical details.

Can I generate AI images offline on an iPhone or iPad?

Yes. Install the app and download a compatible model while connected. Generation and supported photo edits then run on the device and continue to work in airplane mode.

Do my prompts or photos leave the device?

No. Onhand by ArkalEdge runs generation and editing on the device, with no cloud upload. Prompts, source photos, and generated images are not sent to a generation server.

Does Onhand require an account or subscription?

No account is required. A recommended model is free to use, and optional Pro access is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

Which Apple devices can run Onhand?

Onhand is built for compatible iPhones and iPads running iOS or iPadOS 26. Available memory determines which model packs and image sizes a device can run reliably.
