How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload the photo that needs restoration. Even low-quality scans work — the AI is designed to handle colors from degraded source material. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple color boost: 15-20 seconds. Complex scenes with mixed lighting: may need slight refinement.

  2. Describe the enhancement you want

    Type exactly what you need: 'enhance the colors and make them more vibrant' or 'boost the color saturation and richness.' That's it. No marking, no adjusting sliders. The AI understands color enhancement concepts and applies them naturally.

    Tip: Be specific about the mood: 'warm and vibrant' gives golden tones while 'cool and vivid' emphasizes blues and greens.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    General color boost for dull photos enhance the colors and make them more vibrant while keeping the image looking natural

    Overcast day landscape shots boost the color vibrancy and add warmth to make this overcast photo look sunnier

    Faded or washed-out vacation photos increase color saturation and contrast to bring back the vivid colors that were lost

    Nature and foliage photos make the greens more lush and vibrant while keeping the sky blue and natural
    Try This →
    Portrait with flat skin tones subtly enhance the colors while preserving natural skin tones and adding slight warmth
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Tap generate and examine the result. Check that skin tones remain natural, highlights aren't blown out, and shadows retain detail. Color enhancement should look natural, not oversaturated.

    Tip: Compare before and after at full zoom. Good enhancement makes colors pop without looking artificial or neon.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI colors — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying colors to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using colors 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 — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better colors than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with colors.

Common Scenarios

  • Using colors on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying colors to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with colors 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 — overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure colors looks natural, not over-processed
📷

Social Media & Personal Sharing

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI applied color enhancement globally when you wanted selective enhancement. This happens when certain areas should remain unchanged.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want enhanced, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when you want selective color changes.

Colors look oversaturated or neon

Why: The AI interpreted your request as wanting maximum vibrancy. Strong enhancement on already-colorful areas creates artificial-looking results.

Try: subtly enhance the colors while keeping the image looking natural and realistic
Try This →

Tip: Words like 'subtly' and 'naturally' rein in the AI's enthusiasm for color boosting.

Skin tones turned orange or unnatural

Why: Global color enhancement affected skin along with everything else. Skin is particularly sensitive to saturation and warmth changes.

Try: enhance the colors while preserving natural skin tones, keep faces looking realistic
Try This →

Tip: Always mention skin tone preservation when enhancing photos with people.

Highlights are blown out or shadows are too dark

Why: Color enhancement increased contrast along with saturation, pushing extremes beyond recoverable range.

Try: enhance the colors and vibrancy while maintaining detail in highlights and shadows
Try This →

Tip: Mentioning 'maintain detail' tells the AI to balance enhancement with exposure preservation.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark specific areas before enhancing colors?

No! Just describe what you want: 'enhance the colors and make them more vibrant' works for the whole image. The AI understands color enhancement concepts. Only use markers if you want to enhance specific areas while leaving others unchanged—like boosting sky blue without affecting skin tones.

Will color enhancement make my photos look fake?

Not if you phrase it right. Include words like 'natural' or 'realistic' in your prompt: 'enhance colors while keeping the image looking natural.' The AI will boost vibrancy without pushing into oversaturated territory. If results look too intense, try 'subtly enhance' instead.

Can I enhance colors in just part of the photo?

Yes. Either mention the specific area in your prompt ('enhance the blue of the sky') or tap a marker on that area before describing the enhancement. This is useful when you want vibrant landscapes but natural skin tones in the same photo.

What's the difference between enhancing colors and adding a filter?

Filters apply predetermined color shifts that change the overall mood. Color enhancement intelligently boosts what's already there—making blues more blue, greens more green—without shifting the photo's fundamental color palette. The result looks like better lighting rather than an Instagram filter.

Is EditThisPic's AI colors enhancer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I enhance colors on my phone?

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

What photo formats does the AI colors enhancer support?

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

How long does it take to enhance colors?

Usually 15-30 seconds. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and the AI delivers the result.
