How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your sunburnt image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Portraits, selfies, and vacation photos work best.

    Expect: Simple sunburn removal: 15-30 seconds. Complex tan line corrections: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Describe what to fix

    Type 'remove the sunburn from my face' or 'correct the red skin tone to natural.' For specific areas like nose or shoulders, mention them. For tan lines, describe: 'blend the tan line on my shoulder to match my natural skin tone.'

    Tip: Specify the exact area (face, nose, shoulders) and desired result (natural skin tone, blend tan line) for best results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    General sunburn removal remove the sunburn and restore natural skin tone
    Face sunburn remove the red sunburn from my face and keep natural skin texture
    Nose and cheeks correct the sunburn redness on my nose and cheeks to match my natural skin
    Tan lines blend the tan line on my shoulder to match my natural skin tone
    2 more prompts
    Strap tan lines remove the tank top tan lines and even out my shoulder skin tone
    Full body sunburn reduce the sunburn redness on my arms and shoulders to natural skin color
  3. Review the result

    Check that redness is gone but skin still looks natural, not overly pale or fake. Zoom in on transition areas to ensure smooth blending.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If some red areas remain or tan lines are still visible, tap markers on those specific spots and regenerate. This is optional—most sunburn corrections work without markers.

    Tip: Markers help with stubborn tan lines at shirt or strap edges. Try without first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted sunburn from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

  • Client portrait sessions where the sunburn appeared unexpectedly in frame
  • Stock photography that needs the sunburn removed for broader commercial appeal
  • Product photography with distracting sunburn in the background

Best Practices

  • Zoom in and place a marker directly on the sunburn for the most accurate removal
  • Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
  • Describe the desired background fill — e.g., 'replace the sunburn with clean wall' for predictable results
📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing sunburn that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

  • Listing photos where the sunburn clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
  • Exterior shots with sunburn that hurt curb appeal
  • Open house photos that need the sunburn removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the sunburn, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
  • Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent
📷

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing sunburn before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

  • Vacation photos where the sunburn appeared in an otherwise perfect shot
  • Family photos with sunburn that distract from the people in the frame
  • Profile pictures and dating app photos that need the sunburn cleaned out

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the sunburn carefully to avoid affecting nearby people
  • If the first result isn't perfect, try rewording your prompt with more detail about the background

If something looks off

Skin looks too pale or washed out

Why: AI overcorrected and removed too much color.

Try: restore natural skin tone, not pale white

Tip: Use 'natural skin tone' or 'healthy skin color' in your prompt to guide the AI.

Orange or fake tan appearance

Why: AI interpreted 'remove redness' as adding orange tones.

Try: correct to realistic natural skin color without orange tones

Tip: Specify 'realistic' and 'no orange' to avoid fake spray tan look.

Tan line still visible

Why: The contrast between tanned and untanned areas is too strong.

Try: Tap markers on the tan line edge and blend the transition smoothly

Tip: Tan lines often need markers for precise edge control.

Uneven skin tone patches

Why: Correction created inconsistent color across the face.

Try: even out the skin tone across my entire face

Tip: A second pass usually smooths out any patches.

Lost natural skin texture

Why: AI over-smoothed while removing redness.

Try: redo with natural skin texture and pores preserved

Tip: Add 'keep skin texture' to maintain realism.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the sunburnt area before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove the sunburn from my face' or 'blend the tan line.' The AI understands these concepts. Only use markers when you need precision—like specifying exactly which tan line to blend if you have multiple.

Will it look natural or fake?

The AI preserves natural skin texture and matches surrounding skin tone. Add 'natural skin tone' to your prompt for best results. No fake orange tan or overly pale look.

Can it fix severe sunburn or peeling skin?

It works best on redness and color differences. Peeling texture is harder to correct. For best results, use on red sunburn before peeling starts.

What about goggle or hat tan lines?

Yes! Describe the pattern: 'remove the ski goggle tan line' or 'blend the hat line on my forehead.' The AI understands these common patterns.

Does it work on full body photos?

Yes, but you may need to be more specific: 'remove sunburn from my arms and shoulders' works better than just 'remove sunburn.'
