Change Facial Expression in a PhotoSmile, open the eyes, turn the head.

Drag a slider and the face in your photo changes: a gentle smile, a wide smile, open or closed eyes, where the eyes look, an open mouth, a turn, a nod or a tilt of the head.
Only the face is redrawn, the rest of the picture stays as it is. Everything runs on your device.

Photo expression editor FAQ

Is this expression editor free?

Yes. Edit as many photos as you like with no account and no watermark.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is processed in your browser and never leaves your device. The first time, your browser downloads the face models (about 290 MB) and keeps them for next time.

How does it work?

The tool finds the face, works out its pose and expression and redraws it with the change you asked for. The redrawn face is blended back into the photo; the background and the body stay as they are.

Which photos work best?

One person looking roughly toward the camera, with the whole face visible and not too small. Sunglasses, hands over the face and extreme angles give worse results, and strong settings can look unnatural.

Can I make a closed-eyes photo look better?

Yes: move the eyes slider toward wide to open the eyes a little. The result is a new drawing of the eyes, so very closed eyes in a small face may look less natural.

Why does it need graphics acceleration?

Redrawing a face is heavy. It runs on your graphics card through the browser; without it the tool can't run. Try a recent Chrome or Edge on a computer.

Is it appropriate to change someone's expression?

Only edit photos you have the right to use, and don't use the result to mislead anyone.
