Temporary things like braces, acne, or a bad hair day shouldn't define how you're remembered.

Step-by-Step Guide
Upload your yearbook photo
Drop your school portrait into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with digital copies from photographers, scanned prints, or phone photos of printed pictures.
Describe what you want to fix
Type your instruction: 'remove braces while keeping my smile natural' or 'reduce acne and blemishes without making skin look fake' or 'fix the glasses glare.' Be specific about keeping things natural - you want enhancement, not transformation.
Review for natural appearance
Check that you still look like yourself. Verify teeth look natural if braces were removed. Ensure skin still has texture, not a plastic look. Compare to a recent photo where you were happy with how you looked.
Refine specific areas if needed
If teeth look uneven after braces removal or skin looks too smooth, tap markers on those areas and ask for more natural results. Minor refinements often make the difference between good and perfect.

When Things Go Wrong
Teeth look fake or generic after braces removal
Why: The AI generated standard-looking teeth instead of preserving your unique tooth shape.
remove braces but preserve my exact tooth shape and spacing, keep natural imperfections
'Keep natural imperfections' tells the AI your teeth don't need to be Hollywood-perfect.
Skin looks too smooth or plastic
Why: The AI over-processed the skin, removing natural texture along with blemishes.
reduce blemishes with very subtle smoothing, maintain all natural skin pores and texture
'Very subtle' and 'maintain pores' are key phrases for natural-looking results.
Glasses were removed instead of just the glare
Why: The AI interpreted 'fix glasses' as removing them entirely.
remove only the glare from glasses, keep the glasses frames and lenses completely intact
Be explicit about keeping glasses when you only want glare removed.
Edit made me look like a different person
Why: Too much enhancement can alter facial features. The goal is subtle improvement, not transformation.
make minimal natural edits only, I should still look exactly like myself with minor improvements
Less is more for yearbook photos. Subtle edits are better than obvious ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to edit yearbook photos?
Removing temporary things like braces, acne, or a bad hair day is widely accepted - you're showing your authentic self without temporary distractions. The key is keeping edits subtle and natural. You should still look like yourself.
Will removing braces look natural?
Yes, when done correctly. The AI preserves your actual tooth shape and smile. Always add 'natural' and 'preserve tooth shape' to your prompt. Check the result at full zoom - if teeth look generic or plastic, try again with a more specific prompt.
Can yearbook staff use this for all student photos?
Yes. EditThisPic is great for standardizing backgrounds, fixing consistent lighting issues, or basic enhancement across many photos. Use exact hex codes for backgrounds to ensure color consistency. Each edit takes 15-30 seconds.
How do I avoid the obviously edited look?
Always include words like 'natural,' 'subtle,' 'realistic,' and 'keep texture' in your prompts. Request the minimum change needed. Compare the result to photos where you were happy with how you looked naturally.
Can I fix my child's yearbook photo?
Absolutely. Parents often edit yearbook photos to remove temporary issues like braces or breakouts. Just ensure the result still looks like your child - the goal is enhancement, not transformation.
What if I'm not happy with the first result?
Try again with a more specific prompt. Add 'very subtle' or 'minimal changes only.' You can also use markers to protect areas you like while fixing specific spots. There's no limit to retries.
