How to change eye color in a photo
To change eye color in a photo, start with a clear portrait, choose an iris color and compare the result with the original. Check the pupils, gaze, catchlights and eye whites as well as the shade. This guide explains the inputs, useful instructions and details to review.
Step 1. Upload a clear portrait
Use one person with open, clearly visible eyes and even light. JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported, up to 30 MB.
Step 2. Choose your iris color
Choose one of eight color cards, upload a color reference or write Edit instructions. Templates and uploads are alternatives; selected cards can be removed. A Person photo and at least one active color input are required.
Step 3. Generate and compare
Review the displayed credits and generate one image. Loading an example only fills the form. Compare the eyes and face, then Re-edit the original inputs or download the result.
Step 4. Compare and download
Inspect both eyes and the rest of the face at full size. Keep a result you like, or refine the color from the original photo.
Choose a color direction
Keep the same photo and compare iris hue before combining changes.

Instructions you can adapt
DirectionWhat to requestWhat to compare
Green
Change both irises to muted green. Keep the original pupils, catchlights, eye whites, face and hair.
Check pupil size and position, eye shape and the direction you are looking.
Blue
Use the reference only for a soft blue iris tone. Preserve my iris texture and original lighting.
Compare highlights and the radial texture within each iris. Flat color or glow can obscure the original detail.
Amber
Change only the person’s left iris to amber; keep the right iris and the rest of the photo unchanged.
Look for color spill on the eye whites, eyelids, lashes or glasses.

Pupils and gaze
Check pupil size and position, eye shape and the direction you are looking.

Request a muted shade with the original iris texture and catchlights.
Eye whites and boundaries
Look for color spill on the eye whites, eyelids, lashes or glasses.

Keep using the original photo and request an iris-color-only edit.

Eye color changer questions
Do I have to choose an eye color template?
No. Upload a color reference or describe the target in Edit instructions. The Person 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 guides iris color; your Person photo supplies eye shape, pupils, gaze, iris detail and the rest of the portrait.
Can I change dark brown eyes to a lighter shade?
You can request blue, green, gray or another color. Use clear eyes and compare the result: the original light, iris texture and shadows should still make sense.
Can I request different colors for each eye?
Specify the person’s left or right iris and the target color in Edit instructions. Review both eyes after generation; precise placement can vary.
Will it change my face or eye shape?
The edit is instructed to preserve eye anatomy, pupils, gaze and the rest of the photo. Generative editing can still alter details, so inspect the original and result together.
Is the eye 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.
