How to Change Clothes Color in a Photo with AI
To change clothes color in a photo, start with a clear garment, specify the clothing and choose a color direction. This guide explains templates, references and written instructions, with examples and checks for fabric, folds, prints and the rest of the photo.
Step 1. Upload a clear clothing photo
Use a photo with the garment fully visible and its texture in focus. On-person, flat-lay and mannequin photos are suitable inputs. JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported, up to 30 MB.
Step 2. Choose a color and name the garment
Choose one of eight color cards, upload a color reference or write Edit instructions. Templates and uploads are alternatives; cards start unselected and can be removed. A Photo and at least one active color input are required. Name the garment if several are visible; otherwise the edit targets the most prominent one.
Step 3. Generate and review
Review the displayed credits and generate one image. Loading an example only fills the form. Compare the fabric and non-target details, then Re-edit the original inputs or download the result.
Step 4. Compare and download
Inspect the garment and the rest of the photo at full size. Keep a result you like, or refine the color from the original. A generated colorway should be checked against the real product before it is used to describe an item for sale.
Choose your color input
Keep the original photo fixed and describe which garment should change. Templates and uploaded references provide alternative color sources.

InputHow it worksWhat to keep
Color template
Choose a navy, emerald, burgundy, cream, black, white, blush or lavender card. The selected image is a real color reference.
Keep your original garment's style and material; do not copy the template outfit.
Uploaded reference
Upload a garment photo or color swatch, and specify the desired hue if it contains several colors.
Transfer color direction only, keeping the original fit, person and background.
Written instructions
Leave the template unselected and describe the garment and target shade in Edit instructions.
Name other garments that should remain unchanged.
Instructions you can adapt
InputHow it worksWhat to keep
Shirt
Change only the cotton shirt to deep navy. Preserve its weave, buttons and folds; keep the trousers, person and background unchanged.
Look for the original knit, weave, wrinkles and highlight pattern. Dark and light shades should still show material detail.
Dress
Use the reference only for an emerald green color. Keep the dress silhouette, satin sheen, seams and original lighting.
Compare prints, embroidery, buttons, zips and contrasting seams. They should retain their original colors.
Patterned clothing
Recolor only the jacket's plain base fabric to cream. Keep the print, zipper, trim and other clothing in their original colors.
Check collars, sleeves and hems for color spill onto skin, hair or nearby garments.

Clothes color changer questions
Do I have to choose a color template?
No. Upload a color reference or describe the target in Edit instructions. The Photo and at least one active template, reference or nonblank instruction are required.
Are templates and uploaded references used together?
No. Choose one source. Its image supplies a color direction; the original photo supplies the garment, material, person and scene. Written color refinements take priority.
Can I change only a shirt or dress?
Yes. Name the garment in Edit instructions, such as ‘Only recolor the shirt; keep the trousers unchanged.’ Without a specified garment, the edit targets the most prominent one.
Will prints, buttons and fabric stay the same?
The edit is instructed to preserve garment structure, texture, prints and trims. Generative editing can still alter details, so compare the original and result before using it.
Can I match an exact product color?
You can provide a swatch or describe a color, including a color code in Edit instructions. The result is a visual direction, not a guarantee of exact HEX, Pantone or manufactured fabric color. Verify it against the real item before commercial use.
Is the clothes color changer free?
Generation requires an account and the credits shown before Generate. Selecting a template or loading an example spends no credits. See pricing for current plans.
