How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your masked portrait into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Photos with good lighting on the visible face areas (eyes, forehead, cheeks above mask) give the AI better context for reconstructing the covered features.

    Expect: Well-lit portraits with partial face visible: 30-45 seconds. Full-coverage masks or challenging angles: may need 2-4 refinements for natural-looking results.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'remove the face mask and show the natural face underneath' or 'take off the mask and reveal realistic facial features.' Be specific about skin tone matching if needed. No marking required - the AI recognizes face masks automatically and understands what to generate.

    Tip: Add context like 'match the skin tone of the forehead' or 'natural smile' to guide the facial reconstruction.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Standard surgical or medical mask remove the surgical face mask and reveal the natural face underneath, match skin tone with the visible forehead and cheeks
    Cloth or fabric mask remove the cloth face mask and show natural facial features, realistic nose and mouth with matching skin tone
    N95 or respirator mask remove the N95 mask and reveal the face underneath, natural-looking nose, mouth, and chin area
    Want a specific expression remove the face mask and show a natural smile, friendly expression with matching skin tone
    4 more prompts
    Professional headshot needed remove the mask for a professional portrait, show natural neutral expression appropriate for business photo
    Group photo with multiple masks remove the face mask from the person on the left and show their natural face, match their visible skin tone
    Preserve other features remove only the face mask, keep the rest of the face exactly the same, natural nose and mouth
    Side profile view remove the mask from this side profile and show the natural nose, lips, and chin from this angle
  3. Review the reconstructed face

    Examine the generated facial features carefully. Check that the nose shape looks proportional to the face, the mouth and lips appear natural, skin tone matches the visible areas, and the chin/jawline blends. Look at full zoom to verify details.

  4. Fine-tune details

    For professional results, make additional passes to refine specific features. Address any remaining artifacts, uneven skin texture, or lighting inconsistencies between the reconstructed and original areas.

    Tip: Multiple refinement passes often produce the most natural-looking results for face reconstruction.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the mask before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove the face mask' or 'take off the mask and show the face.' The AI recognizes face masks automatically.

Will the face look like the actual person?

The AI generates plausible facial features based on visible parts of the face (eyes, forehead, cheek bones, skin tone). It creates a realistic face that matches the overall appearance, but cannot recreate the person's exact features since those were hidden. Results are natural-looking but may differ from reality.

What types of masks work best?

Surgical masks and cloth masks with clear edges work best. N95 respirators and masks with complex strapping may require more refinement. Masks that reveal some cheek area give the AI better context for skin tone and face shape matching.

Can I specify what the face should look like?

Yes! Add details to your prompt: 'show a slight smile' or 'neutral expression with closed mouth.' You can also suggest features like 'natural nose' or 'full lips' though the AI will try to match what seems proportional to the visible face.

How do I get consistent results across multiple photos?

For a photo series, find your best result first, then use similar prompts for other photos. Note what works: 'slight smile' or 'neutral expression.' Results will vary but using consistent descriptive language helps maintain a similar look.

Can I remove masks from group photos?

Yes, but work on one person at a time. This gives you control over each face reconstruction.
