Correction strength100%
Drop a photo in, then click each eye. Only the spot you click is touched, so red clothing and skin tones stay exactly as they were — and it works on animal eye-shine, which comes back green or yellow rather than red.

Who keeps coming back
Four times flash red-eye ruins an otherwise good photo — parties, pets, family shots, old scans.
Old scanned photos
Film-era snapshots scanned with red-eye baked in.
Pet eye glow
Use a lower strength — animal eye-shine is often green or yellow.
Red-eye comes from flash bouncing off the retina, so it survives every filter until you target the pupil itself.
Red-eye comes from flash, and so does glare — if the flash also blew out a pair of glasses, the glare remover handles that. For a colour wash rather than a fix, there is the photo tinter, also free and on-device.

This vs Photoshop vs your phone
Every photo editor has shipped a red-eye tool for twenty years, and most of them work. What differs is how many taps it takes, whether it keeps the pupil looking like a pupil, and whether the photo leaves your device — including the cases where you should not use us.

What it costs you
This remover Fastestthis page
Ordinary human red-eye from a direct flash — party shots, family photos, scanned prints.
One click, no account, no upload. Runs on your device, so it works with your wi-fi switched off and there is no limit.
PhotoshopRed Eye tool
Difficult cases: animal eye shine, partly blown pupils, or repainting an iris that is genuinely gone.
A subscription, plus the time to open the file. The only real option when the pupil has to be rebuilt rather than neutralised.
Phone galleryiOS Photos, Google Photos
Fixing a shot you just took, on the phone that took it, without moving the file anywhere.
Free and already on your phone. Hard to find in the menus, and it re-saves the whole image to apply one small edit.
Online editorsUpload-based
Batch work across a folder of scanned prints, where doing them one at a time is the real cost.
The photo goes to someone else’s server for an edit your browser can do locally. Usually gated behind an account too.

When red-eye removal works — and when it doesn’t
Red-eye is flash bouncing off the retina, which is why no filter or exposure change touches it. But not every red or bright eye in a photo is the same problem.
Classic human red-eye
Both pupils glowing red from a direct on-camera flash, with the iris and eyelids still looking normal. Red overwhelms green and blue inside the pupil only.
Fixable? Yes. This is exactly what the tool targets, and pupil detail survives.
Animal eye shine
Cats and dogs have a reflective layer behind the retina, so their eyes come back green, yellow or blue rather than red — and often much brighter than a human pupil.
Fixable? Partly. The colour is not red, so a red-channel fix leaves a bright, washed-out pupil.
Blown-out pupils
The flash was close enough that the pupil is pure white with no detail left. There is no darker version of the eye hiding underneath to restore.
Fixable? No. Neutralising the colour gives a flat grey disc, because the detail is gone.
Red eyes that are not red-eye
Irritation, crying or a red-tinted light source. The redness sits in the sclera and eyelids, not in the pupil, so it is a colour-correction job rather than a red-eye one.
Fixable? Not here. Targeting the pupil leaves the surrounding redness untouched.

Why you can trust this
Four claims. Every one of them you can check yourself, right now.
Two tools never upload anything
Tint and Red-eye run entirely inside your browser. Switch off your wi-fi, reload the page and use them again — they still work. Nothing ever reaches a server, so there is nothing for us to keep.
AI tools discard the file immediately
Shadow, glare and passport need a server to run. The image is processed in memory and dropped the moment the result comes back. Not written to disk, not used for training, not shared.
Browser tools cost us nothing, so they are unlimited
The AI tools cost real money per image, which is why the free plan is only 2 a month. We would rather tell you the actual reason than pretend the limit is a feature.
Free output is the full output
No watermark, no account, no locked download button at the end. This tool runs on your own device, so there is no quota to run out of and nothing to upgrade to — images up to 4000 px come back at their original size.

Questions
Everything people ask before they upload the first file.
Q.01 Does it upload my photo?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Q.02 Will it change skin tones?
The filter only touches pixels where red strongly dominates green and blue, so normal skin is left alone.
Q.03 Does it work on pet eyes?
Partly. Animal eye-shine is usually green or yellow rather than red, so results vary.
