Change Clothing Color from Photo

Just describe the new color. 'Change the dress to red' usually just works.

Type what you want: 'change the shirt color to navy blue' or 'make the dress emerald green.' The AI identifies the clothing and recolors it in 15-30 seconds. No selection tools needed. If you have multiple clothing items, add details like 'the jacket' to specify which one. Free, no signup required.

How it works

1

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB work best. Photos with clear clothing visibility and good lighting give the AI more to work with.

⏱ Single clothing item: 15-30 seconds. Multiple items or patterned fabric: may need 2-3 refinements.

Describe the color change

Type your instruction: 'change the shirt color to cobalt blue' or 'make the dress burgundy red.' Be specific about the color you want. The AI understands clothing terms like shirt, dress, jacket, pants without needing you to mark anything.

💡 Use specific color names like 'forest green' or 'coral pink' instead of just 'green' or 'pink' for more accurate results.

Copy one of these to get started:

Visualizing a shirt in different color change the shirt color to deep navy blue, keeping the same fabric texture and lighting
Wedding dress color preview change the dress color to soft ivory white, maintaining all lace details and fabric folds
E-commerce product variation change the jacket color to forest green while keeping all buttons, zippers, and stitching visible
Formal suit recolor change the suit color to charcoal gray, including the jacket and pants, maintaining the professional look
3 more prompts
Bright to neutral conversion change the bright orange top to muted beige, keeping the same shadows and highlights
Pattern color shift change the blue stripes on the shirt to burgundy red, keeping the white base color unchanged
Coordinating outfit colors change the skirt color to match the teal blouse, same shade and saturation

Generate and review

Tap generate and check the result. Look at fabric folds, shadows, and edges where the clothing meets skin. The new color should follow the original texture and lighting naturally.

💡 Zoom to 100% to check that color transitions at seams and edges look natural, not painted on.
4

Refine with markers if needed

If the AI changed the wrong item or missed part of the clothing, tap markers on the specific garment and regenerate. Markers help when you have multiple similar clothing items in the photo.

💡 Markers are most useful when someone wears multiple layers. Tap the specific item you want changed.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong clothing item

Why: When multiple garments are visible, the AI may pick the wrong one. This is common with layered outfits or when clothing colors are similar.

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

💡 Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS garment specifically.' Essential when wearing layers or matching sets.

New color looks flat or painted on

Why: The AI replaced the color uniformly without preserving the original fabric texture and lighting variations.

Try: change the [item] color to [color], preserving all fabric texture, folds, and natural shadow gradients

💡 Mentioning 'folds' and 'shadow gradients' helps the AI understand you want realistic, not flat, recoloring.

Skin or background also changed color

Why: The clothing color was similar to nearby elements, or the AI boundary detection wasn't precise enough.

Try: change only the [item] color to [color], keeping skin tones and background unchanged

💡 Adding 'only' and specifying what to keep helps the AI respect boundaries.

Patterned fabric lost its pattern

Why: Solid color changes work best. Patterns require more specific instructions to preserve.

Try: change the base color of the patterned [item] to [color], keeping the original pattern intact

💡 For complex patterns, specify which color in the pattern to change and which to preserve.

Color doesn't match what I asked for

Why: Generic color names are interpreted differently. 'Blue' could mean anything from sky blue to navy.

Try: change the [item] color to [specific color like 'cobalt blue' or 'midnight navy'], exact shade

💡 Use specific color names or references like 'Tiffany blue' or 'burgundy like red wine' for precise results.

Buttons, zippers, or hardware disappeared

Why: The AI over-applied the color change to small details that should have stayed metallic or contrasting.

Try: change the [item] color to [color], keeping all metal buttons, zippers, and hardware in their original color

💡 Explicitly mentioning hardware prevents the AI from treating them as part of the fabric.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the clothing before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'change the shirt to blue' or 'make the dress red.' The AI understands clothing terms. Only use markers when you have multiple similar items and need to specify which one—like tapping the jacket when wearing a matching set.

Can I change just part of a patterned item?

Yes, but be specific. Type 'change the blue stripes to red, keeping the white background' or 'change only the floral pattern to purple, keeping the black base.' The more specific your description, the better the AI can isolate the right parts of the pattern.

Will the new color look realistic with the lighting?

The AI preserves original shadows, highlights, and fabric texture when you ask it to. Add 'keeping natural shadows and fabric texture' to your prompt for best results. If lighting looks off, regenerate with 'maintaining the original lighting direction.'

Can I change multiple clothing items at once?

Yes. Specify each item: 'change the jacket to navy and the pants to charcoal gray.' For matching sets, try 'change the entire suit to burgundy, including jacket, pants, and vest.' The AI handles multiple items when you name them all.

How do I get exact color matches for e-commerce?

Use specific color names or hex codes in your prompt: 'change the shirt to Pantone Classic Blue' or 'change to exact color #2C5F2D.' For product variants, reference the original: 'change to the same blue as the collar trim.' Consistent lighting in your source photo helps with accurate color reproduction.
