How it works

Upload your almost-perfect photo

Drop your family photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best with clear photos where the issue is visible.

Expect: Simple fixes (blinking eyes, stray hair): 15-20 seconds. Multiple fixes: may need separate edits.
Describe what needs fixing

Type exactly what's wrong: 'fix the blinking eyes on the person on the left' or 'remove the trash can in the background' or 'straighten his collar.' Be specific about who or what needs fixing. The AI understands faces, positions, and objects.

Tip: Use position words: 'the kid on the right,' 'the woman in the middle,' 'the person wearing blue.' This helps the AI target the right face.

Copy one of these to get started:

One person blinking fix the blinking eyes on the person on the left
Try This →

Red eye on baby remove the red eye on the baby in the center
Try This →

Messy hair across face fix the stray hairs across her face and smooth them
Try This →

Crooked clothing straighten his collar and make it look neat
Try This →

4 more prompts

Background trash or distraction remove the trash can visible in the background
Try This →

Multiple people with closed eyes open the eyes on the woman on the right
Try This →

Weird facial expression make him smile naturally instead of the awkward expression
Try This →

Shadow on face lighten the shadow on her face and make it more even
Try This →
Review the fix

Check the edited area. For eye fixes, zoom in to verify they look natural. For background fixes, check for clean removal. Look for any artifacts or unnatural blending.
Make additional fixes if needed

Found another issue? Upload the fixed version and describe the next problem. Most family photo fixes need 1-3 separate edits to get everything perfect.

Tip: Fix one thing at a time. Trying to fix multiple people's eyes in one prompt usually doesn't work as well as separate edits.

Dad's collar was folded weird. Tiny detail that bugs you every time you see it.

Prompt: straighten his collar and make it look neat

If something looks off

Fixed eyes look unnatural or wrong color

Why: The AI guessed the eye color or direction incorrectly. It doesn't have other photos of that person to reference.

Try: try: 'make the eyes brown' or 'adjust the eye color to match her other eye'

Try This →

Tip: Eye fixes work best when the person is looking straight at the camera. Side glances are harder.

AI fixed the wrong person's eyes

Why: Your description was ambiguous when there are multiple people. 'The kid on the left' could mean their left or your left.

Try: Be more specific: 'the girl wearing the yellow shirt' or tap a marker on their face

Try This →

Tip: Use clothing color or age when position words aren't clear enough.

Background removal left a blur or smudge

Why: The AI filled the space but couldn't perfectly reconstruct what was behind the object. Complex backgrounds are harder.

Try: regenerate the background area and blend it naturally

Try This →

Tip: Simple backgrounds (grass, sky, walls) fill more cleanly than busy patterns.

Collar or clothing fix changed skin tone

Why: The AI modified too much area trying to fix the clothing. It bled into adjacent skin.

Try: restore the skin tone around the collar to the original

Try This →

Tip: Clothing fixes work best on plain backgrounds where the edge is clear.

Hair fix looks painted or fake

Why: Hair is complex texture. The AI sometimes smooths it too much when removing stray hairs.

Try: add natural hair texture back to the smoothed area

Try This →

Tip: Sometimes it's better to leave minor hair issues than get an overly-smooth fix.

Multiple fixes needed but credits running low

Why: Each fix is a separate edit. Complex family photos may need 2-4 edits to perfect.

Try: Prioritize: fix the most obvious issues first (closed eyes, red eye, major distractions)

Try This →

Tip: Free tier gives 1 edit/week. For multi-fix photos, consider upgrading or using pay-as-you-go.

Quick answers

Can I fix multiple people's eyes in one edit?

Technically yes, but it works better to fix one person at a time. Try 'fix the eyes on the girl on the left' first, download that, then upload it again and fix the next person. Multiple simultaneous face edits often don't work as well.

Will the fixed eyes look natural?

Usually yes. The AI uses context from the rest of the photo to generate realistic open eyes. Works best when the person is looking straight at the camera. Side glances or unusual angles may need a second try. Eye color is inferred from other facial features.

What if everyone is blinking in the photo?

You can still fix them one at a time. Start with the most prominent person, fix their eyes, download, then fix the next person's eyes in a new edit. It's tedious but works. Consider retaking the photo if more than 2-3 people are blinking.

Can I fix someone's smile or expression?

It's possible but harder than fixing closed eyes. Works best when the person is already almost smiling and you just need subtle adjustments. Completely changing a neutral face to a smile often looks unnatural.

What about red eye from flash?

Red eye removal works great. Say 'remove the red eye on the baby' or 'fix red eye on the person on the right.' Be specific about which person if there are multiple with red eye.

How do I fix background issues without affecting people?

Just describe the background object: 'remove the trash can' or 'delete the power lines in the sky.' The AI won't touch the people unless you specifically mention them.

Can I remove a person from the family photo?

Yes, but that's a different task. See the 'Remove Person from Photo' page for that. This page is about fixing small issues with people you want to keep.
