How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Best results come from well-lit photos where the subject is clearly visible.

Expect: Standard enhancement: 20-30 seconds. Complex scenes: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'make the new roof shingles look crisp and uniformly colored' or 'enhance the new metal roofing to show clean lines and even panels.' Name the roofing material — asphalt shingles, metal panels, tile — for accurate results. No marking needed.

Tip: Roof photos are taken from below, which compresses perspective. Mentioning 'dimensional shingles' or 'standing seam panels' helps the AI render the right texture.

Copy one of these to get started:

Asphalt shingle replacement make the new asphalt shingles look crisp and evenly colored with visible dimensional texture, clean ridge cap and straight drip edge
Try This →

Metal roof installation enhance the standing seam metal roof to show clean straight panels with uniform color, make the metal reflect light naturally
Try This →

Storm damage repair make the repaired section of the roof blend seamlessly with the existing shingles, ensure the color match looks natural and consistent
Try This →

Full re-roof with gutters enhance the new roof and gutter system to look professional — crisp shingles, clean white gutters, straight fascia board, all looking brand new
Try This →

3 more prompts

Tile roof restoration make the clay tile roof look restored with rich terracotta color, clean ridgelines, and no moss or debris visible
Try This →

Commercial flat roof enhance the commercial flat roof membrane to look clean, white, and uniform with sealed seams and clean flashings around penetrations
Try This →

Drone aerial view enhancement enhance the aerial drone photo to show the complete new roof from above — uniform shingle color, clean valleys, and crisp hip and ridge lines
Try This →
Review the result

Check that the enhancement looks natural and professional. Zoom in on details to verify quality. Use the before/after slider to compare.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI changed the wrong area, tap markers on the specific spot you want enhanced and regenerate. This is optional — most edits work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try without them first.

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 area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

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

Shingle texture disappeared and looks flat

Why: The AI smoothed the roof surface, losing the dimensional texture of architectural shingles.

Try:

Regenerate with 'enhance the shingles while preserving dimensional texture — keep the layered look of architectural shingles visible'

Try This →

Tip: Dimensional texture is what makes architectural shingles look premium. Always mention it.

Metal roof panels look different colors

Why: The AI couldn't compensate for sun angle creating different reflections on each panel.

Try: Add 'make all metal panels uniform in color as if photographed on an overcast day with even lighting'

Try This →

Tip: Metal roofs reflect light differently on each panel — 'uniform color' tells the AI to normalize this.

Enhancement changed the siding color too

Why: The AI broadened the enhancement beyond just the roof when the request was ambiguous.

Try: Specify: 'enhance only the roof shingles and ridge cap — keep the siding, trim, and gutters exactly as they are'

Try This →

Tip: Naming what NOT to change is as important as naming what to change for roof-specific edits.

Photo still looks like it was shot from too far away

Why: Ground-level roof photos naturally have perspective issues the AI can't fix.

Try: Try: 'enhance the roof detail and make the shingle pattern more visible despite the distance of the photo'

Try This →

Tip: Drone photos give much better roof portfolio shots. Enhance ground-level photos as a backup, but drone shots are worth the investment.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the roof area before describing the enhancement?

No! Just describe the roof: 'make the new shingles look crisp and uniform.' The AI knows what 'roof,' 'shingles,' and 'ridge cap' mean. Only use markers if the AI changes the siding or gutters instead of the roof.

Can I use these photos for roofing estimates and proposals?

Yes. Download and use anywhere — proposals, Google Business, Facebook, your website, or leave-behind folders. No watermark, no restrictions. Show prospective customers your best work.

Is there a free tool for roofing before/after photos without login?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the enhancement, and download in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99 for building full portfolios.

How do I photograph roofing projects for the best before/after?

Take ground-level photos from across the street to show the full roof. Shoot from the same position before and after. Best of all: use a drone for aerial shots that show the complete roof clearly. Overcast days prevent harsh shadows.

Does it work for commercial roofing portfolios?

Yes. Flat roofs, TPO membranes, metal panels — the AI enhances any roofing material. Specify the type: 'enhance the TPO membrane to look clean and white' or 'make the commercial metal panels look uniform.'

Can I enhance drone photos of roofing work?

Yes. Drone aerial shots produce the best roofing portfolio images. Upload the drone photo and tell the AI to 'enhance the shingle color and texture from the aerial view.' The bird's-eye perspective shows your complete work.

Does it help with insurance claim documentation?

Yes. For repair documentation, enhance photos to show the completed repair blending with existing roofing. For damage claims, see our insurance damage photo enhancer for documenting damage clearly.

Can I show multiple roofing materials in my portfolio?

Yes. Upload each project separately and the AI adapts — asphalt shingles, metal panels, clay tile, slate, or flat membranes. Your portfolio shows versatility across materials.
