Photo guide

Open closed eyes in photos with AI

If someone blinked in the one good photo, you can fix the eye area without rebuilding the whole image.

How it works

What the tool changes

Open Eyes reads the face and rebuilds the eye area. It tries to keep the original expression and light. Clear, front-facing portraits give it the best chance.

First-hand notes

We built Open Eyes.

Overflow created the app and the original web editor for one problem: saving a photograph when someone blinked. This guide comes from working on that product.

FAQ

Before uploading a photo

Can AI really open closed eyes?

Yes. The model reconstructs the eye region using the face, pose, and lighting as context. Results depend on photo quality and how visible the face is.

Where do I upload my photo?

The editor now lives on Enhance.cam. Overflow.ai explains the tool and sends you directly to the current version.

What photos work best?

Use a sharp, upright photo where the face is large enough to see. Avoid heavy blur, extreme side angles, or eyes covered by hair or glasses.

Can I still use Open Eyes on iPhone?

Yes. The Open Eyes iOS app is still available. If you prefer to edit in a browser, the web tool now lives on Enhance.cam.

The tool is ready on Enhance.cam.
