What the skin color changer does
LazyKiwi's Skin Color Changer recolors the visible skin in one photo, face, neck, arms and hands, to the tone you pick: eight steps from porcelain to deep, or a natural golden tan, at a subtle, natural or strong strength. Your facial features, face shape, hair, clothes, background and skin texture stay exactly as they were. It is free to try, and the result keeps the shape of the photo you uploaded.

The result keeps the framing of your photo. Try another tone on the same photo to compare.
Lighter, darker or tanned: you pick the tone
Instead of typing a color and hoping, pick a swatch: porcelain, fair, light, medium, olive, tan, brown or deep. Each tone has its own undertone, so the result looks like real skin, not a tint.
- Eight preset tones
- Subtle, natural or strong
- Compare tones on one photo
Your face stays your face
Only the color and lightness of the skin change. Eyes, nose, lips, face shape, expression, hairstyle and hair color stay as they were, and the face, neck and arms are matched so nothing looks patched.
- Features and face shape kept
- Hair and clothes untouched
- Face and body matched
Real skin texture, no filter look
Pores, freckles, moles and beard stay exactly where they are. Use it to preview a tan, to warm up or cool down a skin tone, or to correct skin that came out too pale or too orange in a photo.
- Texture and freckles kept
- No smoothing or slimming
- Natural tan in one click

FAQ
Skin color changer FAQ
How do I change my skin color in a photo?+
Upload the photo to the Skin Color Changer, pick one of the eight tones (or Tan), choose a strength and generate. Only the skin color changes; the rest of the photo stays the same.
Can I make my skin lighter or darker?+
Yes. Pick a lighter tone such as Porcelain, Fair or Light, or a deeper one such as Brown or Deep. The strength slider decides how far the skin moves toward that tone.
How do I make myself look tan in a picture?+
Pick the Tan swatch for a warm golden sun-kissed tan, or use the one-click Tan Filter, which applies a natural beach tan without any settings.
Will it change my face or hair?+
No. Your facial features, face shape, expression, hairstyle, hair color, clothes and background are kept. Only the color and lightness of the skin change.
Can I change skin tone in a full-body photo?+
Yes. Every visible skin area of the main person, face, neck, arms, hands and legs, is recolored together so the face and body match.
Can I use it to fix skin that looks too pale or too orange?+
Yes. Pick the tone the skin should be and a subtle strength to correct a photo where the light or a filter shifted the skin color.
