How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for eyes editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Basic eye brightening: 30-35 seconds. Full eye enhancement with color and detail: 40-50 seconds and may need refinements.

  2. Describe the eye enhancement

    Type what you want: 'brighten the eyes and make the iris color more vivid' or 'sharpen the eyes, add catchlights, and enhance the natural eye color.' Be specific about what to improve—brightness, color, sharpness, or all three. No marking needed—the AI knows where eyes are.

    Tip: Mention 'catchlights' to add that bright reflection in the eyes that makes portraits look professional and alive.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Natural eye brightening brighten and sharpen the eyes, make the iris color more vivid while keeping them natural
    Try This →
    Professional catchlights enhance the eyes with bright catchlights and sharper iris detail for a professional portrait look
    Try This →
    Reduce tired look make the eyes look more awake and refreshed - brighten the whites, reduce redness, and add a subtle sparkle
    Try This →
    Intensify eye color intensify the natural eye color to make it deeper and more striking without changing the color itself
    Try This →
    3 more prompts
    Clear eye whites whiten the whites of the eyes to be clearer and brighter, reduce any visible redness or yellowness
    Try This →
    Sharpen eye detail sharpen all eye detail - iris texture, eyelashes, and eyebrow definition for a high-definition look
    Try This →
    Dramatic editorial eyes enhance the eyes dramatically for an editorial look - intense color, sharp detail, prominent catchlights, and defined lashes
    Try This →

  3. Review the enhancement

    Check that eyes look naturally vibrant, not oversaturated. Zoom in to verify the iris detail, pupil remains natural, and both eyes are enhanced equally. Ensure the brightness matches the overall photo lighting.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If one eye needs more enhancement than the other or a specific area like the iris needs adjustment, tap a marker on that eye and regenerate. Most eye enhancements work perfectly on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

"Every portrait I take looks better after an eye enhancement. The catchlights pop, the irises look more vivid, and the whole photo comes alive. Takes 30 seconds and looks completely natural." @PortraitPro_Kai

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI eyes — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying eyes to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using eyes on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better eyes than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with eyes.

Common Scenarios

  • Using eyes on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying eyes to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with eyes for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size — overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure eyes looks natural, not over-processed
📷

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using eyes.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying eyes to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using eyes on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with eyes before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share — fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing — keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors eyes accordingly

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI modified skin around the eyes or eyebrows alongside the eye enhancement. This happens when enhancement bleeds into surrounding areas.

Try: Tap markers on both eyes specifically, then regenerate: enhance only the eyes themselves, do not change skin, eyebrows, or surrounding areas
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Eyes look oversaturated or alien-like

Why: The iris color was enhanced too aggressively, creating an unnaturally intense or neon-like appearance.

Try: enhance the eyes subtly - slightly brighter iris with natural color depth, avoid oversaturation
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'avoid oversaturation' explicitly tells the AI to keep color enhancement within realistic bounds.

One eye looks different from the other

Why: Different lighting conditions on each eye caused the AI to apply uneven enhancement, especially in photos with side lighting.

Try: enhance both eyes equally and symmetrically, same brightness, color intensity, and catchlight on each eye
Try This →

Tip: Specifying 'equally' and 'same brightness' addresses asymmetric enhancement directly.

Eye whites look too blue or artificial

Why: The whitening of eye whites shifted the color temperature, adding a blue cast that looks unnatural.

Try: brighten the eye whites to a clean, natural white - warm and realistic, not blue-tinted
Try This →

Tip: 'Not blue-tinted' and 'warm' prevent the cold artificial look that aggressive whitening creates.

Pupils changed size or look unnatural

Why: The enhancement altered the pupil along with the iris, changing its size or shape in an unrealistic way.

Try: enhance only the iris color and brightness, keep the pupil size and shape exactly as it is in the original
Try This →

Tip: Explicitly preserving the pupil ensures the AI only modifies the iris during enhancement.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the eyes before describing the enhancement I want?

No! Just describe what you want: 'brighten the eyes and make the iris color more vivid.' The AI knows exactly where eyes are on a face. Only use markers if the enhancement accidentally affected surrounding skin or you want to adjust just one eye specifically.

How do I enhance eyes in a photo without them looking fake?

Use 'natural' or 'subtle' in your prompt: 'enhance the eyes naturally with slightly brighter iris color.' The AI preserves iris texture and natural color variations while boosting vibrancy. Avoid 'intense' or 'dramatic' if you want a realistic result that could pass as natural.
