How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Vertical photos work best for TikTok. Clear, well-lit shots give the most striking transformations.

Expect: Quick color boosts: 20-30 seconds. Full style transformations: 35-50 seconds and may need refinements.
Describe the TikTok look you want

Type your instruction: 'make this photo bold and vibrant with high contrast for TikTok' or 'give this a soft dreamy glow with pastel tones.' Be specific about the energy and mood. No marking needed—the AI understands style descriptions naturally.

Tip: TikTok rewards bold visuals. Use words like 'punchy', 'vibrant', 'high contrast', or 'neon glow' for scroll-stopping results.

Copy one of these to get started:

Review the result

Check that the photo grabs attention even at thumbnail size. TikTok photos need to stand out in a fast-scrolling feed. Look for strong colors, clear subjects, and eye-catching contrast.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific areas like the subject's face or the background need different treatment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most TikTok edits work on the first try without markers.

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

If something looks off

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

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens when you want selective edits on specific parts of the photo.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

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

Colors look garish or oversaturated

Why: TikTok-style prompts push the AI toward maximum vibrancy, which can overshoot on already colorful photos.

Try: enhance colors moderately with natural vibrance, keep skin tones realistic while making the photo pop for TikTok

Try This →

Tip: 'Moderately' and 'natural vibrance' dial back the intensity without losing the TikTok energy.

Photo lost detail and looks blurry after style change

Why: Some style effects like glow or blur can soften important details, especially at lower resolutions.

Try: apply the [style] effect but keep the subject sharp and detailed, only soften the background

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'keep the subject sharp' preserves important details while still applying the creative effect.

Edit looks good on desktop but not on phone screen

Why: Phone screens display colors differently, and small screens amplify contrast. Effects visible on desktop may look excessive on mobile.

Try: apply a subtle version of [the effect] with moderate contrast and slightly reduced saturation

Try This →

Tip: Preview at actual TikTok size (phone-width) before finalizing. Subtle usually wins on small screens.

Result doesn't match the trending TikTok aesthetic I wanted

Why: Vague trend references produce inconsistent results. The AI needs specific visual details, not just trend names.

Try:

Be more specific about the visual: 'warm pink and orange tint, soft focus edges, slightly overexposed highlights' instead of just 'trending aesthetic'

Try This →

Tip: Break down any trend into its visual components: color, contrast, focus, and lighting direction.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing the edit I want?

No! Just describe the look you want: 'make this bold and vibrant for TikTok' or 'add a soft dreamy glow.' The AI applies the style across the entire image intelligently. Only use markers if you want different treatments for different parts—like keeping the subject sharp while blurring the background.

How do I make my photos look good for TikTok without editing apps?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and describe the look in plain words. Say 'bold vibrant colors with high contrast' or 'soft pastel aesthetic with glow.' The AI handles color grading, contrast, and effects automatically. No app to download, no filters to scroll through. Works in your browser for free.

Is there a free TikTok photo editor that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe the TikTok aesthetic you want, and download the result. No watermarks on outputs. Perfect for photo carousels, video covers, and profile pictures.

What's the best free tool for making TikTok photo slideshows look professional?

EditThisPic lets you describe any visual style in plain language. Unlike filter apps with limited presets, you can match any trending aesthetic by describing it. Each photo gets individually optimized rather than having the same filter slapped on every image.
