Click each red pupil in the photo.
This red eye remover is a small photo editor for one job: it fixes the glowing red pupils a camera flash leaves in portraits, party pictures and photos of children, so you can get rid of red eyes without installing anything. Select the image, then click each red pupil. The tool looks at the red area around your click, works out how big the pupil is and turns it into a dark, natural looking pupil. You do not draw a circle or pick a brush size - the click only has to land on the red part. A ring shows briefly where each fix went, Undo takes the last one back and Clear all starts over. It is one of many photo editing tools on this site, next to blur face and crop image.
A simple red eye fixer paints a black dot over the eye, which is why so many corrected photos look like doll eyes. Here only the pixels that are actually red are changed, and each one is changed by how red it is. The small white reflection of the flash - the catchlight that makes an eye look alive - is not red, so it stays. So does the iris colour around the pupil. Sensitivity decides how red a pixel must be before it is corrected: raise it for a weak, orange or pink glow, lower it if the fix touches skin at the corner of the eye. Darken pupil sets how dark the corrected pupil ends up, from a soft grey to almost black.
Red eye (often written redeye) happens when the flash sits close to the lens, as it does on phones and compact cameras. In a dim room the pupils are wide open, the light goes in, bounces off the blood-rich back of the eye and comes straight back into the lens. That is also why it is worst at parties and indoors at night, and why a camera's red eye reduction mode fires a pre-flash to shrink the pupils first. When that did not help, you edit the red eye out afterwards, which is what this page does. The glare is not always red. Depending on the angle it comes out orange, golden yellow or almost white, often in just one eye of the same face. Click those the same way: the tool recognises a bright glow closed in by the darker iris, darkens it to a pupil and puts a small catchlight back where the flash reflected, because a pupil without one looks lifeless.
The download is the full-resolution photo, not the preview, with the same fixes applied. A JPG comes back as a JPG by default, and the menu next to the download button switches to PNG for a lossless copy or WebP for a smaller file. You can rename the file before saving, copy the result to the clipboard, or share it straight from a phone.
Red eye photos are nearly always close-ups of family and friends, often children. The photo is opened and corrected inside your browser and is never sent to a server, so nobody else sees the faces in it. There is no account, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you fix.
Select the photo, then click the red part of each eye. The tool finds the size of the pupil by itself and replaces the red with a dark neutral tone. Adjust Darken pupil if the result is too grey or too black, then download the photo.
The click has to land on or right next to a pixel the tool counts as red. If the glow is pale pink, raise Sensitivity and click again. For an orange or white glow, click right in the middle of it. On a small face in a group photo, use the fullscreen button first so the eye is easier to hit.
Yes. Tap each red pupil with a finger. Scrolling the page over the photo does not add a fix, only a tap does.
Yes. Click the glowing pupil just like a red one. The glow has to be surrounded by a darker iris for the tool to tell it from skin, which is nearly always the case. Pet eyes that glow green or white often work too, as long as the glow is one bright spot.
No. Only red pixels inside the small circle around each click are changed. Everything else is copied through untouched, at the original resolution.
No. The photo is decoded, corrected and saved on your own device. That matters here because red eye pictures are mostly portraits of people you know.
