Use Photoroom’s Recolor feature to quickly correct or change colors in your images. It’s ideal for matching brand colors, fixing lighting issues, or creating variations, while preserving texture and detail.
How it works:
You provide a source image or choose one that's already in Photoroom.
You use the Recolor settings to set your preferences.
Photoroom generates an image based on the source image and the chosen settings.
You can then use the generated image as is or you can open it in the main editor to make further changes. You can also generate variations, if needed.
In this article, we provide a general overview of the tool and explain its settings. For step-by-step instructions, see Workflows in Related content (below).

Take a photo and upload it (mobile only)

To learn about adding images, see:
Color
Use the color selector to choose the main replacement color. You can then use the Prompt to describe exactly which parts of the image Photoroom should recolor.
To learn how to use the color selector, see
Quality
The Quality setting affects image resolution, detail, AI credit usage, and how long the image takes to generate. For details, see Set the Quality of AI images.
Aspect ratio
This is sometimes labeled as Size. Use it to set the aspect ratio (shape) of the image, see Set the Aspect Ratio of AI images.
Prompt
Use the prompt field to enter any other information for the AI. For example, "Change the color of the T-shirt body and sleeves. Also make the collar, hem at end of sleeves, and logo text across the front black."
Tip: See our Write more effective prompts for AI article.
After generating an image
When you have generated an image you are happy with, you can:
Use the image's context menu options to make further changes or download the image.
Select the image to review and edit it further.
Use the Batch editor to make further changes (Batch editor only)
Use the Product catalog editor to make further changes and publish (Photoroom for Shopify only).
