Make a Person Look at the Camera

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the photo with the face clearly visible

   JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. This works best when the head is roughly facing the camera and only the eyes have wandered. If the whole head is turned away in profile, there is no natural way for the eyes alone to meet the lens, and the result will look strained.

   Expect: A single clear face takes about 15-25 seconds. Tiny or blurry faces are the hardest case — the AI has less to rebuild from and the redirected eyes are more likely to look generic.
2. 2

   Describe the person, the eye colour, and say 'eyes only'

   Type the whole instruction: 'make the man in the green shirt look directly at the camera, turning only his eyes toward the lens, natural brown eyes, keep his head position, face, hair, and everything else exactly the same.' There is nothing to select or mark. 'Turning only his eyes' is what keeps the head where it is; the colour is what keeps the eyes his.

   Tip: If you do not say 'eyes only', the AI may rotate the whole head toward the camera, which changes the jaw, ears, and hair — much more than you asked for.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Eyes to the camera, single portrait make this person look directly at the camera, turning only their eyes toward the lens, natural brown eyes, keep their head position, face, hair, and everything else exactly the same

   One person in a group make the woman in the yellow top, second from right, look at the camera by turning only her eyes toward the lens, natural hazel eyes, leave everyone else in the photo completely unchanged

   Copy Try This →

   Head slightly turned make this person's eyes meet the camera while their head stays turned as it is, natural dark brown eyes, a relaxed natural gaze rather than a strained sideways look, keep everything else unchanged

   Copy Try This →

   Looking slightly too high or too low lower this person's gaze slightly so they are looking straight into the lens rather than above it, same eye colour, keep the head and face exactly as they are

   Both people in a couple photo make both people look directly at the camera by turning only their eyes, the woman with natural green eyes and the man with natural brown eyes, keep both heads and everything else unchanged

   Glasses on make this person look at the camera by turning only their eyes behind their glasses, natural brown eyes, keep the glasses, frames, and reflections exactly as they are

   Copy Try This →

   Looking at the lens, not the phone make this person look straight into the camera lens rather than at the screen below it, a small upward shift of the eyes only, natural blue eyes, everything else unchanged

   Zoom in and check the direction and the likeness

   Both eyes should aim at the same point — the lens — with the whites and iris balanced on each side. Then compare against another photo of the person: redirected eyes that are slightly too large or too bright are the usual reason a result looks like someone else.

   Refine with a marker if needed

   In a group photo where the description could apply to more than one person, tap a marker on the face you meant and repeat the instruction. For a single subject the description alone is normally enough.
