About Fulla
Last updated 11 November 2026
Fulla is a free, open-source Photoshop plugin for generative fill, made by Stéphane Depierrepont, a developer and photographer.
Who makes it?
Stéphane wrote his first lines of code on a TRS-80 and has been programming ever since. He has published open-source software since 2010, mostly in Go: about 150 public repositories on GitHub. Among them, tmail, an SMTP server, and go-dkim, an implementation of DKIM, the cryptographic signature of emails. He is also an amateur photographer.
Is Fulla written with AI?
Yes, with the help of an AI coding assistant, and we say so openly. Stéphane decides, reviews and tests every change: 87 unit tests, and a self-test that runs inside Photoshop. Decades of programming are what make that work; the assistant is what made a free side project of this size possible in the time he has.
Why Fulla?
Generative fill in Photoshop is paid in credits: a monthly allowance that is lost if you don’t use it, and a cost per image that is hard to work out. Fulla does the same job with an AI service you choose, paid per image, with the cost shown after every run. It is free, and its code is public.
The name
Fulla is a Norse goddess of plenty. The name also sounds like fill.
Where it comes from
Fulla started in November 2026 from OpenFill by Daman Reddy (MIT licence) and has gone its own way since: a simpler panel, automatic resolution, tone matching, reference images, and a tested list of models.
