How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your portrait or selfie into EditThisPic. Clear frontal or three-quarter photos with good lighting show the under-eye area best. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple dark circle removal: 15-20 seconds. Severe or multi-toned circles: may need a second pass.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'remove dark circles under both eyes and brighten the under-eye area' or 'clear the purple shadows under my eyes for a refreshed look.' Be specific about the color and intensity. No marking needed — the AI detects under-eye areas automatically.

Tip: Mention the specific color — 'purple', 'bluish', or 'brown' dark circles — for more targeted results.

Review the result

Check that the under-eye area looks naturally brightened. Zoom in to verify skin texture is preserved and the brightening blends smoothly with surrounding skin tone.
Refine with markers if needed

If one eye needs more correction than the other, or if the AI missed a spot, tap a marker on that specific area and regenerate. Most dark circle removals work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first — the AI handles most dark circles from the description alone.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Headshots and LinkedIn

Remove dark circles from headshots and professional portraits so you look polished and well-rested for work profiles, resumes, and corporate directories.

Common Scenarios

Cleaning up a LinkedIn headshot taken after a long week
Brightening under-eye shadows in a corporate headshot for a company website
Refreshing a professional portrait before submitting to a conference speaker page

Best Practices

Use a frontal or three-quarter portrait with even lighting for the most natural result
Specify 'natural' or 'subtle' in your prompt to avoid an over-processed look
Run a second pass on any remaining shadows if the first edit is 90% there

📷

Family and Event Photos

Clean up dark circles in wedding photos, holiday portraits, and family gatherings where lack of sleep shows in your photos.

Common Scenarios

Brightening under-eye circles in wedding day photos after a sleepless night
Cleaning up tired eyes in holiday family portraits

Best Practices

Process one person at a time if multiple people need correction
For event photos, mention 'preserve the original lighting and warmth' in your prompt
Compare before and after at full zoom to check for natural skin texture

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific under-eye area you want to correct, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Under-eye area looks too light or unnatural

Why: The AI over-corrected the brightness, making the area lighter than surrounding skin.

Try: remove dark circles subtly and blend the under-eye area naturally with surrounding skin tone, keep skin texture intact

Try This →

Tip: 'Subtly' and 'keep skin texture intact' prevent the AI from over-processing.

Dark circles still visible after removal

Why: Very severe or deep-pigmented dark circles may need a stronger prompt or a second pass.

Try: significantly brighten the remaining dark areas under the eyes, more correction needed

Try This →

Tip: A second pass on the first result usually clears any remaining traces.

Eye bags remain after dark circle removal

Why: Dark circles (discoloration) and eye bags (puffiness) are different issues. The AI only removed the color, not the physical swelling.

Try: remove both the dark circles and the puffy eye bags under both eyes for a smooth, refreshed look

Try This →

Tip: Mention both 'dark circles' and 'eye bags' in one prompt if you need both corrected.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the dark circles before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove dark circles under both eyes' or 'brighten the under-eye shadows.' The AI detects under-eye areas automatically. Only use markers if the AI misses a spot or you need to correct one eye more than the other.

How do I remove dark circles from a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove dark circles under both eyes and brighten the under-eye area.' The AI brightens and evens out under-eye shadows in 15 seconds. Free to use, no account required, no watermarks on the result.

Is there a free dark circle remover that doesn't require login?

Yes. EditThisPic removes dark circles for free with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the correction, and download the result. No watermarks. Works on purple, blue, brown, and black dark circles across all skin tones.

What is the best AI tool for removing dark circles from photos?

EditThisPic is a top choice for AI dark circle removal. Just describe what you want — no manual selection or brushing needed. The AI detects under-eye areas automatically and brightens them while preserving natural skin texture. Free, no signup, results in 15 seconds.

What's the difference between dark circles and eye bags?

Dark circles are discoloration or shadowing under the eyes, while eye bags are physical puffiness or swelling. This tool removes dark pigmentation and shadows. For puffy bags, use the AI Eye Bag Remover on EditThisPic.

Will it work on all dark circle types and colors?

Yes. The AI handles purple, blue, brown, and black dark circles regardless of cause — genetics, aging, lack of sleep, or allergies. It brightens and evens tone across all skin colors and circle types.

Can I remove dark circles from just one eye?

Yes. If one eye has more pronounced darkness, specify that in your prompt: 'brighten the dark circle under my left eye only.' Or tap a marker on just the affected eye for targeted correction.

Can I undo or adjust the AI edit if I don't like the result?

Yes. Refine your prompt and re-edit as many times as you want. Each attempt uses one edit credit or your free weekly edit.
