How to edit facial expressions in photo?

Step 1

Upload Your Photo

Choose a clear JPEG or PNG image where your face is visible. This helps the AI detect features accurately.

Step 2

Choose an Expression

Pick the facial area you want to change—mouth, eyes, or head. Choose an expression type (like “smile”, "blink", or "tilt") and move the slider to adjust intensity.

Step 3

Save Your Image

Click ‘Apply’ to generate the changes, then hit ‘Download’ to save the edited photo to your device.

One face, infinite reactions

Apply dozens of moods on a single face with LightX. Get a realistic expression transformation even after the photo is taken—no need for a reshoot. Whether someone blinked, frowned, or just looked off, fix it in seconds. Make any photo natural and expressive with powerful, AI-driven editing.

Change eye movements, mouth expressions, and head directions

Whether it's a subtle change or an exaggerated modification, you can tweak your reaction, from serious to hot; depending on the purpose of your photo. Use the sliders to adjust the intensity of each expression. Even the smallest features can be adjusted to perfection, like:


• Mouth: Adjust the shape to create open mouth sounds like "aaa," "eee," or "woo," or apply a smile. (Move each of the sliders to the left for the opposite expression.)


• Head: Tilt the head up, down, left, or right to adjust the angle and direction.


• Eyes: Make the face wink or blink, fix the gaze to look horizontally or vertically, or shift the eyebrows up and down.
