How it works

Upload your photo

Drop a photo of your hand into EditThisPic. For best results, use well-lit photos showing all five fingernails clearly. Works with bare nails or existing polish. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple nail art on clear photos: 20-30 seconds. Complex multi-finger designs with gradients: may need 1-2 refinements for perfect nail coverage.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'add cherry blossom nail art with pink flowers and green leaves on white base' or 'create geometric navy blue and gold nail design on all nails.' Be specific about colors, patterns, and style (floral, geometric, ombre, French tip, etc.). No marking needed—the AI detects your nails and applies the design.

Tip: Specify which fingers get special designs: 'floral design on ring fingers, solid pink on other nails' or 'accent nail with glitter on both ring fingers.' The more detail, the better the result.

Generate and review

Click Generate and the AI creates your nail art design on all visible nails. Zoom in to check pattern details and color accuracy. Verify the design covers each nail properly without extending onto skin.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI missed a nail or the design isn't positioned correctly, tap markers on specific nails and regenerate. Most designs apply perfectly without markers.

Tip: Markers help on photos where nails overlap or are partially hidden. They tell the AI exactly which areas are nails.

If something looks off

AI changed skin around nails or missed some nails

Why: The AI couldn't clearly identify nail boundaries, especially on photos with overlapping fingers or partial nail visibility.

Try:

Tap a marker on the center of each visible nail, then regenerate with 'apply nail design only to marked fingernails, do not change skin'

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where each nail is located, preventing design bleed onto skin.

Design looks messy or patterns don't align with nail shape

Why: Complex designs may not conform perfectly to nail contours on first try.

Try: Simplify the design or try 'create [design] that follows the natural shape and curve of each nail'

Try This →

Tip: Simpler designs with bold patterns work better than intricate tiny details

Colors are wrong or too bright/dull

Why: The AI interpreted color descriptions differently than you intended.

Try: Be specific about shades: 'dusty rose pink' instead of just 'pink,' or 'deep navy blue' instead of 'blue'

Try This →

Tip: Reference specific color names or add descriptors like 'pastel,' 'neon,' 'muted,' or 'metallic'

Accent nails got the wrong design

Why: The prompt may not have clearly specified which fingers get special treatment.

Try: Be explicit: 'floral design on both ring fingers only, solid lavender polish on thumb, index, middle, and pinky fingers'

Try This →

Tip: Name each finger type to ensure accent nails are placed correctly

Design is different on each nail when it should match

Why: The AI interpreted 'design' as unique art per nail.

Try: Add 'same pattern' or 'matching': 'create matching geometric design on all nails with identical pattern repeated'

Try This →

Tip: Specify 'identical' or 'repeated' for uniform designs across all nails

Nails look flat or unrealistic

Why: The design may lack dimension or doesn't follow nail curvature.

Try: Add lighting cues: 'add nail art with glossy finish showing natural nail curve and shine'

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'glossy,' 'shiny,' or 'dimensional' helps create realistic-looking nails

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my nails before describing the nail art?

No! Just describe what you want: 'add floral nail art to my nails' or 'create French tip design.' The AI automatically detects your fingernails and applies the design. Only use markers if the AI misses a nail or you have overlapping fingers in the photo.

How do I generate nail art designs on my photos for free?

Upload a photo of your hand showing your nails to EditThisPic and type 'add [design description] nail art.' The AI generates and applies the nail design in 20-30 seconds. Free to use, no account needed. Perfect for trying designs before booking a manicure.

Can I try the design on my actual nails or does it only work on stock photos?

It works on photos of YOUR actual hands! Take a photo of your hand with nails visible (bare nails or existing polish), upload it, and describe the design you want. The AI applies the nail art to your real hand photo so you can see exactly how it would look on you.

What types of nail art designs can the AI create?

The AI can generate virtually any nail design: French tips, ombre gradients, floral patterns, geometric shapes, glitter accents, marble effects, holiday themes, animal prints, abstract art, and more. Be specific in your description about colors, patterns, and which nails get accent designs.

Will the nail art look realistic or obviously fake?

When you specify details like 'glossy finish' or 'natural shine,' the AI creates realistic-looking nail art that follows your nail shape and curvature. The designs are realistic enough to show your nail technician as reference photos. For best results, use well-lit photos showing nails clearly.
