How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose a photo where someone is looking away from the camera. Works with individual portraits or multiple people. The face should be clearly visible and well-lit for best results.

    Expect: Simple gaze adjustment: 10-15 seconds. Multiple people or complex angles: 20-30 seconds and may need refinements if the initial gaze direction isn't perfect.
  2. Describe the eye contact fix you want

    Just describe what you want - like 'make them look at the camera' or 'adjust their eyes to look straight ahead.' The AI finds the eyes automatically and redirects the gaze realistically. No need to mark the eyes first.

    Tip: For photos with multiple people, specify who needs the fix: 'make the person on the left look at the camera' or 'fix everyone's eye contact.' The more specific you are, the better the result.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    fix Make them look at the camera
    fix Adjust their eyes to look straight ahead at the viewer
    fix Fix the eye contact so they're looking directly at the camera
    fix Make the person on the left look at the camera
    3 more prompts
    fix Adjust everyone's gaze so all people in the photo are making eye contact with the camera
    fix Fix their eyes to look directly forward while keeping the natural expression
    fix Make the subject look at the camera with engaged, direct eye contact
  3. Review the result

    Check that the eye contact looks natural and the person appears to be looking directly at the camera. The eyes should maintain their original expression and character while changing direction.

  4. Download Your Fixed Photo

    Save the high-resolution image with proper eye contact and no watermark. Perfect for professional photos, dating profiles, social media, and group shots.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

πŸ“·

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI eye contact direction β€” bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying eye contact direction to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using eye contact direction on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue β€” 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better eye contact direction than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
πŸ“·

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with eye contact direction.

Common Scenarios

  • Using eye contact direction on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying eye contact direction to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with eye contact direction for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size β€” overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure eye contact direction looks natural, not over-processed
πŸ“·

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using eye contact direction.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying eye contact direction to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using eye contact direction on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with eye contact direction before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share β€” fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing β€” keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors eye contact direction accordingly

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.

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

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

The eyes look unnatural or strange after the fix
Try: Add 'naturally' or 'while keeping the natural look' to your prompt. The AI will make more subtle adjustments. If eyes are too extreme, try 'slightly adjust the gaze toward the camera' for gentler changes.

Tip: Include 'keep natural texture and detail' in your prompt to avoid over-processing.

In a group photo, the wrong person's eyes were changed
Try: Be very specific about who: 'the person on the left,' 'the woman in the middle,' or 'the tall person in back.' Or use a marker to indicate exactly which person you mean.

Tip: Try adjusting the prompt if the first result isn't perfect β€” small wording changes make a big difference.

The eye direction changed but they're not quite looking at the camera
Try: Be more explicit: 'make them look directly at the camera lens' or 'adjust eyes to make straight eye contact with the viewer.' You can also try regenerating for a slightly different angle.

Tip: Each generation uses different AI seeds, so regenerating often produces a better variation.

The facial expression changed along with the eye direction
Try: Add 'while keeping the same expression' to your prompt. This tells the AI to only change gaze direction, not the overall expression or emotion in the eyes.

Tip: Fast mode is faster for simple edits; Pro mode takes longer but handles complex changes.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the eyes before describing what I want?

No! Just describe the fix you want. The AI identifies eyes automatically. Only use markers in group photos if you need to specify exactly which person's eyes to fix.

Will this work if someone is looking very far to the side or down?

Yes, but the more extreme the original gaze direction, the more noticeable the digital adjustment may be. Moderate gaze shifts (within about 45 degrees) usually look most natural. Very extreme shifts may require multiple refinements.

Can I fix eye contact for multiple people at once?

Yes! Use prompts like 'make everyone look at the camera' or 'fix eye contact for all people in the photo.' For best results with large groups, you may want to fix people individually with specific descriptions.

Will this change the person's facial expression or just the eyes?

The tool focuses on changing gaze direction while preserving the original expression. Add 'while keeping the same expression' to your prompt if you want to ensure only the eye direction changes.

Does this work with sunglasses or partially closed eyes?

It works best with clearly visible eyes. Sunglasses make it very difficult. Partially closed eyes (squinting, mid-blink) can work but results vary. For best results, use photos where eyes are open and visible.
