Photo color changer

Use TuneImage's photo color changer to recolor clothing or a portrait background with a short text instruction. This is generative editing — you describe the change in words, and the AI repaints the area — not a HEX color picker and not a pixel-locked fill. In the example below, a navy T-shirt turns burgundy while the fabric folds and the portrait stay recognizable.

Choosing and uploading a photo is free and uses no credits — one credit is used only when you press Generate in the editor. One free guest edit while daily spots are available.

Change shirt color

The example above started from the prompt below. After you upload, the editor opens with this starting prompt — change the color name, the garment or the area you want recolored before you press Generate.

Use a photo where you can see the front of the shirt, its sleeves and the edges against the background. One visible shirt is easiest to describe. If two people are wearing similar tops, identify the wearer by position as you see them in the uploaded image. For example, write “Change only the striped shirt on the left to forest green. Keep the jacket on the right black.”

A color name with a little detail helps: “muted sage green” gives a clearer direction than “make it lighter.” Keep the part about the fabric and lighting so a dark fold can still look darker than a sunlit shoulder. Compare the neckline, sleeves and any chest print between the original and the result — generative edits can redraw small lettering, so inspect it before using the result in a product listing.

Change a portrait background color

The same editor can recolor a backdrop. In this real edit, a neutral wall behind a portrait becomes plain light blue.

To try this on your own photo, upload with the button at the top, then change the prompt in the editor to ask for the background color you want — for example “Replace the background with plain light blue. Keep the original subject, its colors and fine edges intact.” Note that the backdrop change is generative: hair shape and some facial details can be redrawn slightly in the result, so compare the edges against your original before downloading. For a pure cutout with a guaranteed exact fill, a conventional background-removal tool is the better choice.

How to use the photo color changer

1. Upload a clear photo where the object or area you want to recolor is easy to see.
2. Write the object, the target color and what should stay the same — material, lighting and shadows.
3. Generate, compare the result at full size, then download the version you like.

Refine a color edit

If the color is not what you expected, name one object and one target shade before adding more instructions. For example, replace “make the shirt nicer” with “change only the navy T-shirt to burgundy red; keep its fabric texture and folds.” If several objects share a color, identify the target by its position or type rather than asking to replace every blue area.

Check the result at full size. Look at edges, shadows, skin, lettering and nearby objects as well as the new color. TuneImage makes a generative edit: a color name guides the model but does not guarantee an exact sampled or print-ready color. For exact color values or a hand-selected mask, a conventional pixel editor may suit the job better.

You can adjust the wording and deliberately generate another edit. A completed image uses one image credit even if you prefer a different look; another generation uses another credit. Technical failures return the reserved credit automatically. Keep a result you like before trying a variation.

What this tool is not

There is no color wheel, HEX input or pixel-exact fill here — the AI interprets your words and repaints the region, so treat every result as a visual preview rather than a guaranteed brand color. Recoloring keeps the same photo and scene; trying on a different garment, matching an exact dye sample or producing a transparent cutout is a different task. If you want to change the setting of a product photo instead, use the studio product photo editor.
