How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Good lighting helps the AI see the full range of skin tones to balance.

    Expect: Mild discoloration: 20-30 seconds. Significant blotchiness: may need 2-3 refinements for perfect results.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'even out the skin tone on my face' or 'balance the blotchy areas on my cheeks and forehead.' Specify that you want natural texture preserved to avoid the plastic look.

    Tip: Include 'keep natural texture' or 'preserve pores' to prevent over-smoothing

    Copy one of these to get started:

    General skin evening even out the skin tone on my face, keep natural skin texture and pores visible

    Redness reduction reduce the redness on my cheeks and nose while keeping the rest of my skin tone natural

    Try This →
    Blotchy patches balance the blotchy patches on my forehead and chin, maintain realistic skin appearance

    Try This →
    Harsh lighting fix fix the uneven skin tone caused by mixed lighting, create consistent warm complexion

  3. Review the result

    Check that skin tone is balanced but still looks real. Zoom in to verify texture is preserved - you should still see natural skin detail, not a blurred mannequin look.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If specific patches need more work or the AI over-corrected some areas, tap markers on those spots and refine with a targeted prompt.

    Tip: For stubborn red patches, mark them specifically and say 'reduce redness in this area only.'

If something looks off

Skin looks too smooth or plastic after correction

Why: The AI smoothed texture along with evening color, removing natural skin detail.

Try: redo but preserve natural skin texture, keep pores and fine details visible
Try This →

Tip: Always include texture preservation in your initial prompt to avoid this.

Skin tone became unnaturally uniform

Why: Real skin has subtle variations. Making everything exactly the same color looks artificial.

Try: even out only the obvious blotchy areas, keep subtle natural skin variation
Try This →

Tip: 'Obvious blotchy areas' tells the AI to fix problems while leaving natural variation.

Corrected area has different undertone than surroundings

Why: The AI changed the color but didn't match the warm/cool undertone of your skin.

Try: match the corrected areas to my natural [warm/cool] undertone
Try This →

Tip: If you know your undertone (warm, cool, neutral), specify it.

AI changed wrong area or corrected too much

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which areas you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap markers on the specific blotchy areas you want fixed, then regenerate
Try This →

Tip: Markers are perfect for targeting specific patches while leaving the rest untouched.

Freckles or beauty marks were removed

Why: The AI interpreted these as discoloration to fix rather than features to keep.

Try: even skin tone but preserve all freckles and beauty marks
Try This →

Tip: Be explicit about what you want to keep, not just what you want to fix.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the uneven areas before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'even out my skin tone' or 'reduce the redness on my cheeks.' The AI detects discoloration automatically. Only use markers when you want to target very specific patches while leaving similar-colored areas alone.

Will it make my skin look fake or over-edited?

Not if you include 'keep natural texture' in your prompt. The AI preserves pores, fine lines, and natural skin detail while just balancing color. The goal is even tone, not smoothed-out plastic skin.

Is there a free skin tone correction tool without signup?

Yes, EditThisPic fixes uneven skin tone for free with no account required. Upload, describe the fix, download. No watermarks on your edited photo.

Can I keep my freckles while evening out blotchiness?

Absolutely. Add 'preserve my freckles' to your prompt and the AI will even out blotchy patches while leaving freckles intact. You can also use markers to target only the problem areas.

How do I fix skin tone without losing facial definition?

Include 'maintain natural highlights and shadows' in your prompt. The AI will balance color while preserving the light and shadow that give your face dimension. Avoid words like 'smooth' or 'flawless' which can flatten features.
