How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a sharp photo of the vehicle from a clear angle. Natural daylight and minimal reflections help the AI handle car color accurately. 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: 'Change the car color to metallic midnight blue.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Tap a marker on the specific object whose color you want to change.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Matte Black Change the car color to matte black with no gloss or reflection
    Try This →
    Candy Red Change the car paint to glossy candy apple red with visible reflections
    Try This →
    Pearl White Change the car color to pearl white with subtle iridescent shimmer
    Try This →
    Metallic Blue Change the car to metallic midnight blue with sparkling metallic flakes in the paint
    Try This →
    2 more prompts
    Racing Green Change the car color to British racing green with a glossy finish
    Try This →
    Two-Tone Change the car to a two-tone color scheme with black roof and silver body
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Inspect the edited area for consistent paint reflection, proper panel line continuity, and matching surface texture. Zoom into edges where changes meet original bodywork.

  4. Refine if needed

    If paint reflections look inconsistent or panel edges need blending, tap markers on those sections and describe corrections like 'match the metallic sheen to the adjacent panel' or 'smooth the color transition.'

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

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Interior Design & Renovation

Visualize car color changes before painting, reupholstering, or purchasing — saving time and money on design decisions.

Common Scenarios

  • Testing how a car looks in navy, sage, or terracotta before committing
  • Showing clients multiple car color options using the same room photo
  • Matching car color to existing decor in a renovation plan

Best Practices

  • Upload a photo with even lighting so the AI can accurately map the color boundary
  • Tap directly on the car to mark it, then specify the exact color you want
  • Try describing the finish too — 'matte charcoal' vs. 'glossy charcoal' gives different results
📷

Fashion & Style Preview

Try different car colors digitally before purchasing or coordinating an outfit.

Common Scenarios

  • Previewing a car in multiple colors before buying online
  • Coordinating car color with the rest of an outfit for an event
  • Creating mood boards that show car color variations for a stylist or client

Best Practices

  • Mark the car precisely — if nearby items share a similar color, the AI may change them too
  • Specify the fabric look: 'change to burgundy silk' captures both color and material
  • Process the same photo with 3-4 colors to build a comparison grid
📷

Product & Marketing Visuals

Generate car color variants from a single product photo — perfect for catalogs, ads, and e-commerce listings.

Common Scenarios

  • Creating all color variants of a car from one studio shot
  • Matching car to brand colors for marketing campaigns
  • Showing seasonal car color options without reshooting

Best Practices

  • Start with a neutral, well-lit product photo on a plain background for cleanest results
  • Use exact color names or hex codes when precision matters — 'Pantone Classic Blue' or '#0F4C81'
  • After changing car color, verify shadows and highlights still look natural

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: Change the car color to metallic midnight blue, 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.

Color bled onto adjacent objects

Why: The AI couldn't precisely separate the target object from its neighbors.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific object and regenerate: 'only change the color of this object'
Try This →

Tip: Tap a marker on the specific object whose color you want to change for precise results.

New color looks flat without the original texture

Why: The AI replaced the color but lost the surface detail like wood grain, fabric weave, or brushstrokes.

Try: Add 'preserve the original surface texture, reflections, and material properties' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Mention the material: 'keep the wood grain visible' or 'preserve the matte finish.'

Metallic or glossy finish not preserved

Why: The AI treated the surface as matte when recoloring, losing the shine and reflections.

Try: Specify 'keep the metallic/glossy finish with natural reflections and highlights'
Try This →

Tip: Include surface type in your prompt: 'glossy', 'metallic', 'satin', or 'matte' for accurate rendering.

Quick answers

Will it change only the car body?

Yes. The AI detects the car body panels and changes only the paint, leaving wheels, trim, glass, and surroundings untouched.

Can I preview a wrap before buying?

Yes. This is perfect for visualizing car wraps, vinyl colors, and custom paint jobs before committing.

Is it free?

Yes. EditThisPic offers free car color changes with no signup required.

Can I change to matte or metallic finishes?

Yes. Specify the finish type — matte, glossy, metallic, satin, or pearl — and the AI will simulate it.

Does it work on any car?

Yes. Works on cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and any vehicle. The AI detects the vehicle and changes its color.

Can I change just part of the car?

Yes. You can request changes to specific parts like the hood, roof, or bumper using markers or description.

Can I change car color on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser -- iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the change car color in photo tool support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
