Step by step
How to do it
Upload your photo
Any JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 10 MB. Selfies, portraits, and full-body shots all work.
Tap a color
Platinum, honey blonde, copper, auburn, chestnut, jet black, silver, pastel pink, electric blue or lavender, with a natural or vivid finish. In a group photo, say whose hair in the optional box.
Download the result
A finished image comes back in about ten seconds. Try as many colors as you like, one credit each.
Getting a realistic preview
Use a photo where your hair is visible, in focus and not in deep shadow. A hat, a hood or hair tucked behind the shoulders leaves less hair to recolor and less for you to judge. Daylight gives the most honest result. Orange indoor light changes how every color looks, real or previewed.
Natural adds highlights and lowlights so the color looks like it came from a salon. Vivid gives an even, saturated finish, which suits Pastel pink, Electric blue and Lavender. Try Copper or Auburn both ways. The difference shows up most on warm shades.
Your cut, length and texture stay as they are, so you see the color on the hair you actually have. That is the point: you are judging the shade, not a new haircut.
Using it before a salon appointment
Run three or four shades on the same photo and put them side by side. Each is one credit, and the original stays in your library. Ruling a color out is often as useful as picking one. Take the favourites to your stylist as a reference.
A preview shows the end color, not the route to it. Going much lighter, for example from dark brown to Platinum, usually means lightening the hair first, sometimes over more than one appointment. The preview cannot show what your hair will need or how it will hold the color. Your stylist can.
The Anything else? box handles details: “keep dark roots”, “only the ends” or “only the woman on the right” in a group photo. A detailed request can take a second run to get right.
Shades not on the list
The Color list has ten shades: Platinum, Honey blonde, Copper, Auburn, Chestnut, Jet black, Silver, Pastel pink, Electric blue and Lavender. For anything else, a specific box dye or a two-tone look, use Freeform Edit and describe it, and name what should stay the same: “change my hair to dark cherry red, keep the same cut and everything else unchanged”.

Questions about hair color changer: try any hair color on your photo
Will the rest of the photo stay the same?
Yes. Your face, skin, clothing, and background are left unchanged. Only the hair is recolored, and your cut, length and texture stay as they are.
Can I change hair length or style too?
The hair color tool keeps your hairstyle on purpose. For a new length or texture, use Freeform Edit and describe it: “long, wavy, copper red hair”.
Is this accurate enough to take to a salon?
It is a good visual reference for a conversation with a stylist, and useful for ruling shades out. It cannot account for how your natural hair will actually take a dye, which depends on your starting color and hair condition.
