How to Remove Tan Lines from Photos (Free AI Tool)
To remove tan lines from a photo, upload it to EditThisPic and describe the edit: 'remove the tan lines on her shoulders' or 'even out the skin tone where the swimsuit straps were.' The AI blends the lighter and darker skin areas into a uniform tone. Free, no signup required.
Tan Lines Don't Belong in Your Best Photos
The photo is perfect except for those tan lines. Strap marks across the shoulders, a watch outline on the wrist, sock lines on the ankles, or a bikini pattern that clashes with the outfit you're actually wearing. AI photo editing can blend those uneven tones into smooth, natural-looking skin in seconds. No masking, no brush tools, no retouching experience needed.
What Tan Lines the AI Can Fix
The tool handles any visible contrast between tanned and untanned skin. Swimsuit strap lines on shoulders and back, bikini tan lines across the torso, watch or bracelet marks on the wrist, sunglasses outlines around the eyes, sock and shoe lines on feet and ankles, and farmer's tans on the arms. It identifies the boundary between light and dark skin and smooths it into a single even tone.
Removing Strap Lines on Shoulders
This is the most common tan line problem. You wore a tank top to the beach, and now the formal dress photo shows white strap marks. Upload the photo and describe it: 'remove the tan lines from her shoulders and blend the skin tone.' The AI matches the lighter skin under the straps to the surrounding tan, creating a seamless look. Works whether the lines are subtle or stark.
Fixing Watch and Bracelet Tan Lines
A pale wrist in a hand-close-up or ring photo is distracting. Describe the edit: 'remove the watch tan line on the left wrist and even out the skin.' The AI fills the lighter band with a tone that matches the rest of the arm. Works on fitness tracker lines, bracelet marks, and any wrist accessory that left a shadow.
Evening Out Full-Body Tan Lines
For photos where multiple tan lines are visible — shoulders, torso, legs — tackle them area by area for the cleanest result. Start with the most noticeable: 'even out the tan lines on her shoulders.' Then follow up: 'now blend the tan line on her legs.' This gives you control over each area rather than relying on a single broad instruction.
Tips for Natural-Looking Results
Be specific about which direction to match. Saying 'make the pale area match the tan' produces different results than 'make the tan match the paler skin.' If you want to keep the tan, say 'blend the light strap marks into the surrounding tan.' If you prefer lighter overall, say 'even out the skin to match the untanned areas.' For subtle tan lines, zoom in and crop first so the AI has more detail to work with.
