Starting point
Target edit
The editing goal
Try another color on the same shirt, one change at a time.
Start with a focused change and tell the editor which details to keep:
- The garment’s shape and folds
- Printed artwork and fastenings
- Skin, hair and background
Compare fine details with your original after generating. Results vary with the source photo and instruction.
Keep the request focused on the shirt
The presets ask for a fabric color change while retaining its shape, folds and artwork. You can name a hoodie or blouse instead without asking for an entirely different outfit.
Describe your own shade
Use a familiar color name such as sage green, dusty rose or warm ivory. Add ‘muted’ or ‘deep’ to communicate the appearance you want instead of settling for the preset colors.
Made for your photo
Explore a new color without planning a new outfit
A plain shirt in a portrait
Preview a navy, black or white top without requesting a new outfit. Compare the neckline, sleeves and garment shape. A good result should still look like the same photograph, with the color change limited to the intended clothing.
A shirt with printed artwork
The fabric and the print are different targets. Tell the editor to recolor the shirt while preserving the artwork. Inspect edges around lettering and logos, since a small change can make a product image unsuitable for use.
One person in a group photo
Add an identifying description such as “the shirt worn by the person on the left.” Review every other person as well as the target garment. If the selection is ambiguous, use a clearer source photo or a more specific instruction.
A starting prompt for your photo
Use a prompt below to fill the editor, then adjust it for your picture. Your uploaded photos stay in place; selecting a prompt does not start generation.
Navy blue
A dark blue preview on the existing shirt.
Change only the target shirt to navy blue. Preserve garment shape, fabric weave, seams, buttons, printed graphics and existing lighting. Do not change skin, face, hair, other garments or background. Do not redesign the garment.
Black
Retain visible folds instead of turning the shirt into a flat silhouette.
Change only the target shirt to black, retaining believable highlights, shadow detail and fabric texture. Preserve garment shape, fabric weave, seams, buttons, printed graphics and existing lighting. Do not change skin, face, hair, other garments or background. Do not redesign the garment.
White
A light-color preview; inspect highlights and small prints.
Change only the target shirt to white with natural shading and visible fabric detail. Do not overexpose the garment. Preserve garment shape, fabric weave, seams, buttons, printed graphics and existing lighting. Do not change skin, face, hair, other garments or background. Do not redesign the garment.
Burgundy
Preview a muted red; describe another color in the instruction if needed.
Change only the target shirt to muted burgundy red. Preserve garment shape, fabric weave, seams, buttons, printed graphics and existing lighting. Do not change skin, face, hair, other garments or background. Do not redesign the garment.
Make it your own. Be specific about the fabric and print: ‘Change the shirt fabric to muted forest green. Keep the white graphic, folds, skin and background unchanged.’

Get more from your original photo
Choose a well-lit photo where the target garment is easy to distinguish from skin, hair and nearby clothing. If there is more than one person, describe who is wearing the shirt. Start with one color and compare the folds and print before trying another. Uploading a larger original helps you inspect fine details.
Recolor clothing without requesting a replacement
The presets focus on the existing shirt. To change a blouse, hoodie or jacket, edit the garment name in the instruction. Ask for one change at a time so it is easier to see whether the fit, texture or surrounding objects moved.
Use a custom color description
Choose a preset to start, then replace the color in the instruction with a description such as muted forest green. You can mention a color code as guidance, but the result is a visual preview rather than a calibrated color match.
A preview does not establish a real product color
Lighting, fabric and display settings all influence how a color looks. Do not use a generated recolor as evidence that an item exists in that shade. For a shop listing, compare with the real variant and check that prints and labels remain accurate.
Change shirt color: frequently asked questions
Can I change a shirt to black or white?
Yes, both are included as presets. Very dark or light changes may lose visible texture, so compare the folds, highlights and seams. You can edit the instruction to ask for more visible fabric detail.
Can I choose a color that is not listed?
Yes. Choose a starting preset, then edit the color description before generating. Your custom text is sent with the image. The tool does not promise an exact match to a supplied color code.
Will the print and logo be preserved?
The instruction asks for that, but AI editing can alter fine details. Compare artwork, small text and borders with the original before downloading a version for commercial use.
Can I recolor a hoodie, dress or jacket?
You can change the garment name in the instruction. Make the target unambiguous and inspect its silhouette and texture afterward. The page defaults to a shirt to keep the starting workflow simple.
Is this a virtual clothing fit test?
No. Recoloring previews the appearance of a color in a photograph. It does not measure garment size, fit, dye behavior or the appearance of a physical item under different lighting.
Do I need to sign in, and can I use starter credits?
Sign in to generate. Eligible new accounts receive starter credits, and all models are available when your balance covers the displayed cost. Nano Banana 2 is selected by default. Check the total in the editor and purchase more credits if needed.
Which files can I upload, and are my results private?
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP photos. Free generations use public mode and results may be selected for public display. Watermark-free downloads require purchase access. Review the account options on the pricing page and keep a copy of your original photo.
