How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works on any photo where your face is shiny or sweaty—outdoor photos, event shots, fitness photos, summer photos, portraits in hot weather.

Expect: Simple shine removal: 18-25 seconds. Multiple people or complex lighting: 35-45 seconds.
Describe what you want

Type 'remove the shine from my face' or 'reduce sweat and make my skin look matte and natural.' The AI identifies shiny areas (forehead, nose, cheeks) and removes glare while keeping your natural skin tone and texture. No marking needed—the AI understands 'shine' and 'sweat.'

Tip: Add 'keep natural skin texture' to avoid an overly-smoothed, artificial look. You want matte, not plastic.

Review the result

Check that shine and sweat are gone but your face still looks natural and three-dimensional. Zoom in to verify skin texture is preserved, not over-smoothed. You should look fresh and matte, not fake or airbrushed.
Refine if needed (optional)

If some shine remains or skin looks too flat/artificial, try 'remove remaining shine but keep natural skin texture' or tap a marker on the specific shiny area (forehead, nose) and regenerate.

Tip: If the AI over-corrected and made your skin look too matte or flat, add 'keep some natural dimension and contour' to preserve facial depth.

"Amazing hiking summit photo but I was dripping sweat and my face was so shiny. This fixed it perfectly—I look fresh and natural now, not like I just ran a marathon." @OutdoorAdventurer

Hiking summit photo with sweat and shine

Perfect mountain summit photo with incredible view, but visible sweat and severe shine from the climb. AI removed the shine while keeping the outdoor lighting and natural skin tone.

Outdoor event photo with heat shine

Great candid from summer outdoor wedding, but the heat created visible shine on forehead and nose. One prompt fixed it while preserving the warm natural lighting and happy expression.

Prompt: reduce shine on forehead and nose, keep natural skin texture

If something looks off

Skin looks too smooth, plastic, or airbrushed—lost natural texture

Why: The AI over-corrected shine removal and flattened skin texture, creating an artificial over-processed look.

Try: remove shine but keep natural skin texture and pores visible, don't over-smooth

Try This →

Tip: 'Keep natural texture' or 'preserve skin detail' prevents the fake airbrushed look that screams edited.

Face looks flat or lost dimension after shine removal

Why: Shine creates highlights that contribute to facial contour. Removing all of it can flatten the face and lose three-dimensional depth.

Try: reduce excessive shine but keep natural facial contours and dimension

Try This →

Tip: Some natural highlight variation is good—you want less shine, not zero dimension.

Some shiny areas still visible, especially forehead or nose

Why: The AI missed certain shiny spots or didn't fully remove the glare in high-shine areas.

Try: tap marker on remaining shiny area, then 'remove shine from this specific area'

Try This →

Tip: Markers target stubborn shine spots the AI missed on the first pass.

Skin tone changed or looks different

Why: The AI altered skin color while removing shine, especially common in outdoor lighting or with darker skin tones.

Try: remove shine but keep my exact skin tone and color, don't change it

Try This →

Tip: 'Keep exact skin tone' prevents unwanted lightening, darkening, or color shifts.

AI didn't remove anything or only slightly reduced shine

Why: The request may have been too subtle or the AI didn't recognize the shine as a problem to fix.

Try: aggressively remove all visible shine and sweat from my face, make it matte

Try This →

Tip: 'Aggressively' or 'completely' signals stronger correction when subtle requests don't work.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the shiny areas before describing them?

No. Just type 'remove shine from my face' or 'reduce sweat and shine' and the AI identifies and fixes all shiny areas automatically. Markers are only needed if stubborn spots remain after the first try or you want to target a very specific area like just the forehead.

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

Not if you guide it correctly. Always add 'keep natural skin texture' or 'don't over-smooth' to preserve authenticity. The goal is matte, not plastic. Without these instructions, the AI might over-correct and create an airbrushed look.

Can this work on really extreme sweat from sports or hiking?

Yes. The AI can handle severe shine and visible sweat droplets. For extreme cases, use 'remove all visible sweat and shine, make me look fresh' to signal strong correction is needed. Smart mode (4 credits) may work better for very challenging shine removal.

Will this change my skin tone or facial features?

It shouldn't, when done correctly. The AI targets only shine and sweat, not your actual skin color or face shape. If it does alter these, add 'keep my exact skin tone and features' to preserve your real appearance.

Can I use this for professional headshots or LinkedIn photos?

Absolutely. Use 'remove shine for professional matte appearance' to get polished, business-appropriate results. Slight matte correction is standard for professional photography—it's expected, not deceptive.
