ThinkDrag: Semantic Drag-Based Image Editing with Visual Reasoning

We introduce ThinkDrag, a unified multimodal framework for drag-based image editing with visual reasoning.

Key points

  • Drag-based image editing provides an intuitive interface for spatially controlled image manipulation by allowing users to specify handle and target points.
  • ThinkDrag is trained to associate point constraints with meaningful object- and scene-level transformations, and can optionally produce an explicit reasoning trace that interprets the intended edit before image generation.
  • Drag Endpoint Markers, motivated by an analysis of cross-image attention, provide an explicit correspondence signal that grounds each drag in image space.
  • To support this framework, we construct a supervised dataset of semantic drag transformations paired with reasoning traces and introduce DragBench++, a benchmark targeting challenging drag-based editing scenarios with reference edit solutions.
