A focused portrait color experiment
Eye color changer
Use the eye color changer to explore a different iris shade while keeping your portrait recognizable. Start with visible, sharply focused eyes and describe a color such as muted green, warm hazel, or deep brown. The useful result is one you can compare with the original, including the pupil shape, catchlights, and surrounding skin.

Before you start
An eye color changer creates an edited interpretation of the iris color in your photograph. Upload a clear portrait, describe the shade, and ask to preserve pupils and reflections. Check both eyes at full size. This is a creative image edit, not a medical or contact-lens simulation.
Change the iris while keeping the gaze
The colored iris is only one part of what makes an eye recognizable. Pupil position, eyelids, highlights, and the angle of the gaze all contribute. An eye color changer request should name the iris and state which nearby features should remain unchanged.
Start with a restrained color when you want a plausible portrait. An extremely bright green or blue can draw attention away from the expression, even when the boundaries are tidy. For a fantasy image, a strong shade may be intentional; write that goal into the request so you judge the result against the right standard.
Small eyes need a better source, not a longer prompt
A full-body photograph may contain too few visible pixels in each iris for a subtle color change. Choose a closer portrait with open eyes and limited motion blur. The eye color changer needs usable visual evidence around the iris boundary to produce an edit you can inspect.
Glasses introduce another complication. Reflections can obscure one iris, and a tinted lens can affect its appearance. If you have a comparable photograph without the obstruction, use it. Otherwise, preserve the glasses in your brief and check whether the edit has changed a lens reflection or frame edge. Supported files are JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC up to 20 MB.
How to use the eye color changer
Work from the original photograph and evaluate the whole face after the local detail. A pair of attractive edited eyes can still belong to an altered expression.
Choose a visible pair of eyes
Open a portrait where both irises can be seen. Keep enough of the face in view to assess likeness and expression alongside the color.
Specify one shade
Describe the color and brightness, such as muted olive green with a natural-looking iris texture. State that pupils, reflections, eyelids, and skin should remain unchanged.
Inspect each eye separately
Compare iris boundaries, pupil size, and catchlight position with the source. Look for color that has spread onto the white of the eye or eyelid.
Review the portrait together
Check whether the two eyes still point in the original direction and look coherent under the same lighting. Download only after the close-up and normal-size views both look suitable.
The details that make a shade believable
The eye color changer should be evaluated for more than a color name. Realistic-looking irises have variation across their surface, while the light source creates highlights that should agree with the rest of the face. A uniform painted circle often looks detached from the photograph.
An illustrative prompt can ask for warm hazel irises with subtle darker edges while retaining the existing pupils and catchlights. That wording describes a target, not a guaranteed result. If the result is too bright, reduce the requested saturation rather than adding a long list of unrelated instructions.
| Inspect | A useful result | Reason to revise |
|---|---|---|
| Pupil | Original size and placement remain plausible | Pupil moves or becomes irregular |
| Catchlight | Reflection agrees with the original light | New highlight changes the apparent gaze |
| Iris edge | Color stays within the iris | Tint spreads onto eyelids or eye whites |
| Pairing | Both eyes suit the scene lighting | One eye appears artificially brighter |
Check both eyes without forcing identical pixels
A portrait taken at an angle naturally shows the eyes differently. One may be smaller, more shaded, or partly covered by the nose. Ask the eye color changer for a coherent shade in both irises, but do not expect the same brightness in each.
When reviewing, compare each eye with its own original. A difference in illumination may be correct; a new pupil shape or shifted eyelid is a separate problem. This distinction prevents you from chasing artificial symmetry that changes the person's expression. If one eye is hidden, use another source rather than expecting the model to establish its true appearance.
Keep the result within creative portrait editing
The eye color changer produces a visual concept. It does not determine your actual eye color under controlled conditions, assess eye health, or predict how a contact lens will look or behave. Those questions require information that a generated photograph cannot provide.
Use the result for a character concept, a personal portrait experiment, or a clearly described creative image. If you share a before-and-after comparison, preserve the original framing so viewers can understand the edit. Avoid treating a synthetic eye detail as evidence about a person's physical characteristics.
Refine the shade without redesigning the face
Make one adjustment per eye color changer variation. If the first green is too vivid, ask for a darker, less saturated green while keeping the original portrait as the source. Combining a shade correction with a smile change makes it harder to evaluate either request.
A narrow selection can help direct attention when available in the editor, but selection is not a promise that unrelated details will remain pixel-identical. Review eyebrows, skin texture, and nose shape as well as the eyes. A successful small edit should not need an explanation for why the rest of the face now looks different.
Choose resolution and export after the close-up check
The eye color changer uses the standard image generation workflow: one 1K result costs 10 credits, 2K costs 20, and 4K costs 30. A new variation is paid; internal retries for the same job do not add another charge. Higher output resolution cannot establish missing iris detail from a blurry source.
Save a reviewed result as PNG, JPG, or WebP. Keep the original alongside it and inspect the downloaded version at the intended display size. If you need a smaller profile picture, resize or crop with the free basic tools after reviewing the larger portrait, rather than hiding problems behind a tiny export.
Example request
Change both irises to muted green. Keep the pupils, catchlights, eyelids, eyelashes, skin, facial expression and background unchanged.

Questions about this edit
Can the eye color changer edit only one eye?
You can describe which eye to edit, using its position in the image to avoid ambiguity. Inspect the untouched eye afterward too. Generation can alter nearby details even when the request is narrow and specific.
Will the eye color changer preserve my identity?
Identity preservation is part of the brief, not a guaranteed result. Compare the whole face with the original, including expression and gaze. Reject a version that makes an attractive color change but changes recognizable facial features.
Can I use a distant group photograph?
A closer portrait is a better starting point. Tiny irises and compression make color boundaries difficult to inspect. Cropping a small face out of a distant image does not create the missing detail, even if you export a larger file.
Can this show how a particular contact lens will fit?
No. The generated image is a creative color preview and does not model a physical lens, its fit, or its interaction with your eyes. Do not use an edited portrait to make medical or fit judgments.
Why do the eyes look too bright?
The requested shade may be too saturated for the portrait lighting. Try a darker or more muted description and preserve the original catchlights. Check whether the result also brightened the eye whites, which can exaggerate the effect.
