Is the AI hair color changer really free?
Yes. EditThisPic gives you one free Fast edit per week with no account and no watermark on the output. That's enough to preview one hair color. If you want to try multiple colors in one session, the Lite plan is $4.99/month or buy a 3-edit pack for $1.99.
How realistic does the color change look?
Very realistic for natural colors like blonde, brunette, black, and red when you include texture instructions in your prompt ('keep natural hair texture and shine'). Fantasy colors like purple, blue, and pink also look great. The output is a photo-realistic preview, not a cartoonish filter.
Can I try hair color before actually dyeing it?
That's exactly what this is built for. Upload a current photo, describe the color you're considering, and see a realistic preview before committing to a permanent dye job. Many people run 3-4 color variations in one session to compare before deciding.
How is this different from Evoto AI or OpenArt?
Evoto AI is a professional photography tool that requires importing photos through desktop software. OpenArt is a generative image platform that creates new images rather than editing yours. EditThisPic works directly on your actual photo in any browser, takes 15 seconds, and requires no download or account.
Does it work for all hair types?
Yes — straight, wavy, curly, coily, short, long, textured. Curlier hair may need an explicit 'preserve curl pattern and texture' instruction in the prompt to prevent the AI from straightening as it recolors.
Can I add highlights or ombre instead of all-over color?
Yes. Describe the technique: 'add caramel balayage highlights through the mid-lengths and ends' or 'ombre effect from dark roots to blonde tips.' The AI understands common coloring techniques and can approximate them.
Will my original photo be saved?
Your original is always preserved. EditThisPic edits a copy — you keep the original and can download the edited version separately. Create a free account to save your edit history across sessions.
Can I do this on my phone?
Yes. Works in Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, and any modern mobile browser. Upload directly from your camera roll, get the result in 15 seconds, and save back to Photos.
How much does EditThisPic cost?
You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
