How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better tan results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Add a natural-looking sun-kissed tan to the skin.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Ask for subtle changes — 'slightly slim' works better than extreme adjustments.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Light Tan Add a light, natural-looking sun-kissed tan to the skin
    Try This →
    Beach Glow Add a warm beach-day tan with a healthy glow
    Try This →
    Bronze Add a deeper bronze tan for a tropical vacation look
    Try This →
    Subtle Warm Add a very subtle warmth to the skin tone for a healthier look
    Try This →
    4 more prompts
    Face Only Add a natural tan to the face and neck only, matching a sun-exposure pattern
    Try This →
    Subtle and natural blend add tan with subtle natural blending that matches the original photo's style
    Try This →
    With specific positioning add tan in the center of the frame with balanced proportions
    Try This →
    Dramatic effect version add tan with dramatic lighting and vivid details for maximum impact
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Use the before/after slider to compare results. Check that the tan edit blends naturally with surrounding areas — look for consistent lighting, color matching, and clean edges throughout.

  4. Refine if needed

    If any areas need fine-tuning, tap markers on those specific spots and describe what to fix. The AI can adjust individual regions without redoing the entire edit — useful for perfecting tan details in tricky areas.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how tan would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing tan in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show tan in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of tan in renovation plans

Best Practices

  • Upload a well-lit, straight-on photo of the room for the most realistic result
  • Specify the size and position — e.g., 'add a large tan on the left wall'
  • Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms
📷

Creative & Social Content

Use tan to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding tan to photos for unique social media posts that stand out in feeds
  • Creating fantasy or composite images that incorporate tan for art projects
  • Making holiday or themed content by placing tan in seasonal photos

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic tan' vs. 'illustrated tan' gives very different results
  • Use reference images when you want the AI to match a particular look
  • For social content, try unusual placements that create a surreal or humorous effect
📷

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate tan into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding tan to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show tan in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature tan in different settings

Best Practices

  • Use high-resolution source images — marketing materials demand sharp details
  • Keep brand guidelines in mind: specify colors and style that match when adding tan
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Add a natural-looking sun-kissed tan to the skin, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Edit looks too extreme or unnatural

Why: The AI applied the adjustment too aggressively, creating an obviously altered look.

Try: Regenerate with 'very subtle, natural-looking adjustment — barely noticeable change'
Try This →

Tip: Ask for subtle changes — 'slightly slim' works better than extreme adjustments.

Asymmetry introduced in other features

Why: Modifying one feature shifted adjacent areas, creating an unbalanced appearance.

Try: Add 'maintain symmetry and natural proportions across all facial/body features'
Try This →

Tip: Focus on one feature at a time. Trying to change multiple things at once can cause distortion.

Skin texture lost in edited area

Why: The edit smoothed out natural skin texture while making the adjustment.

Try: Regenerate with 'preserve natural skin texture, pores, and detail in the edited area'
Try This →

Tip: Always include 'keep natural skin texture' in body editing prompts to avoid the airbrushed look.
