What is an eye color changer?
An eye color changer recolours the irises in your own photo to blue, green, hazel, grey or amber while your face, eye shape and background stay the same. Kenerate AI opens its image editor with the eye colour instruction filled in; you add a clear photo where your eyes are open, then change the colour in the prompt.

Tips
Get a natural eye colour preview
Eyes are small details; these help.
Use a sharp, front-facing photo with your eyes open and in focus.
Be specific: “pale ice blue”, “emerald green”, “warm hazel with gold flecks”.
Keep “same pupils and eye shape” so only the iris changes.
Soft natural light gives the most realistic colour.
The preset is a blue eye filter; edit the colour for anything else.
Thinking about coloured lenses? Ask an eye-care professional first.

FAQ
Eye Color Changer questions
How do I change my eye colour in a photo?
Upload a clear photo of yourself with your eyes open and in focus to the eye color changer, and press Create. Kenerate AI opens the image editor with the instruction already written: bright blue irises, same pupils, eye shape, face and background. Change “bright blue” to green, hazel, grey or amber before you press Create, and compare a few versions.
Link to this answerIs the eye color changer free?
Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits, which work on free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0, the default here. Seedream 5.0 Pro and Nano Banana 2 need a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription, and credits you buy never expire. Results download without a watermark.
Link to this answerCan I try a blue eye filter or other colours?
Yes. The preset is a blue eye filter; edit the colour in the prompt for anything else: “emerald green”, “warm hazel”, “steel grey”, “amber” or “one blue and one green eye”. Keep the line about your pupils, eye shape and face so only the colour of the iris changes, and try a couple of shades side by side.
Link to this answerDoes the eye color changer change anything other than the eyes?
It shouldn't. The preset asks the model to keep your pupils, eye shape, face, expression, skin, hair, background and lighting exactly the same, and instruction-based editors repaint only what you name. If a run brightens the whites of your eyes or smooths your skin, run it again or add “do not retouch anything else”.
Link to this answerCan I use someone else's photo?
Only with their permission. An eye colour preview still edits a real person's likeness, so use your own photo or one the person has agreed to, and share the result only with their consent. Never upload a photo of anyone under 18; the filter is for adults editing their own pictures. Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.

Eye Color Changer, explained
What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.
How the eye color changer works
The eye color changer is an instruction edit. Your photo and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model finds the irises and repaints them, keeping the pupil, the catchlight and the texture of the iris, so the new colour still looks like a real eye.
Picking a colour
What helps:
- Name the shade, such as “ice blue” or “hazel with gold flecks”, rather than just “blue”.
- A photo with a small reflection in each eye looks more real after the edit.
- Coloured contact lenses need a fitting; get them from an eye-care professional.
