Name the object and the new color, and this AI image recolor tool repaints just that part of your photo. It can also pull a color from a reference photo, while the rest of the image stays as you left it.
Example 1 of 3
Change the black sneaker to tan camel leather; keep the white swoosh, the laces, and the white desk exactly unchanged
Say which object changes and the edit keeps to it; a keep-list guards the rest: face, skin tone, other garments, background. Generative color can drift a little, so compare with the original and rerun if something moves.
Attach up to five reference photos and ask for a match: the sofa green, the paint swatch, last season's color. The recolor follows the reference instead of a guess, and the texture of your original object stays.
One product photo can become every colorway a store needs. Run the same shot again with a different color named in the prompt and list them all from a single shoot. Each run costs 3 credits at the default 1K size.
Colors can shift at the edges, and dark-to-light changes may take a second run with tighter wording. Results can vary between runs, so rerun and keep the better one; every download is full resolution with no watermark, and a failed task returns its credits automatically.
AI image recolor is an editing job that used to start with a selection mask: isolate the object, protect everything around it, then move the hue. Here you type the change instead. You upload one photo, name the object and the new color, and list what has to stay; adding a reference photo turns "a green like this" into the green from your own sofa photo. The model repaints the colored surfaces in place, so folds, texture, and light come through the new color instead of flattening under it. It is still a generative edit: fine textures and nearby colors can bleed, deep colors turning pale sometimes need a second run, and the result is worth a zoom before you ship it. Sellers use it for product colorways; everyone else uses it to see a jacket, a wall, or a car in the color they are actually considering.
Five steps from one photo to a recolored version.
Bring the picture as a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file up to 20MB. Clear edges and even light on the object you want to change give the model a cleaner target.
Name the object and the color: "change the sofa to forest green". List what stays: the wood frame, the wall, the plant. To match a color you already have, attach that photo as a reference.
Keep the original aspect ratio, or pick a preset when the platform asks for one. The editor shows the credit cost before you generate.
The recolor lands in the workspace next to the original. Zoom in on edges and texture before you download; rerun with tighter wording if the color spread or drifted.
Download at full resolution, or keep editing in the same workspace: another color on the same object, or an entirely different edit.
Preset color changers wash one tone across the whole picture. Here the color lands on the object you named: the jacket changes, the background and skin tones stay. Folds and texture show through the new color because the model repaints the surfaces rather than overlaying them.
The manual route is selections, masks, and hue sliders per object. Here you describe the change in one line and keep-list the rest; the ready-made suggestions show the pattern, and the editor shows the credit cost before each run.
Download the recolored photo at full resolution with no watermark, or stay in the workspace and run the next color, a crop, or a different edit on the same picture.
Three ways to change the color of an object in a photo, compared on what each one asks of you and where the prompt-driven recolor fits.
| Dimension | Manual color editing | One-tap color changers | AI Image Recolor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | The photo plus mask-making time in an editor | One photo; the preset decides the look | The photo, a sentence naming the object and color, and optionally up to five reference photos |
| Control over the result | Precise where the mask is good; slow everywhere else | Preset palettes applied across the whole frame | Prompt-level: name the object, the color, and everything that stays |
| Matching a reference color | Possible with eyedroppers and adjustment layers, but slow | Presets pick from a fixed palette, not from your photo | Attach the reference photo and ask the result to match it |
| Output | Whatever you export after masking and adjusting yourself | A recolored photo at the tool's fixed export settings | The recolored photo at the original ratio and full resolution, downloadable and watermark-free |
| Consistency across reruns | The same mask always gives the same color | The same preset every time, whatever it does | Generative runs can differ a little; rerun and keep the better one |
| Learning cost | Hours with selections, masks, and adjustment layers | Minutes; the preset does the deciding | One sentence; ready-made suggestions show the pattern |
The prompt is the whole instruction: name the change and guard the rest.
Change the [object] to [color]; keep the [everything else that matters] unchanged.

“Change the tote to the green of the sofa in the second photo; keep the leather texture and stitching unchanged”

“Change the black t-shirt to cream; keep the fabric folds, the print, and his pose unchanged”
One shoot, every colorway. Sellers use AI image recolor to turn a single product photo into the full color lineup, then list the versions side by side and promote the one buyers actually click, without paying for a reshoot.
Before you buy, see it another way. AI image recolor shows the same jacket in the color you are considering, or matches an outfit to a palette pulled from a reference photo, with the fabric still reading as fabric.
Mood boards and drafts need options, not reshoots. An AI image recolor pass over one frame gives a thumbnail, a poster, or a campaign draft in every candidate color while the subject and composition hold still.
How AI image recolor works, how reference matching behaves, and what it costs.
Bring one photo, name the object and the color, and keep everything else. The recolored version is one prompt away.
