Image Hue Adjuster
Change colours in a photo without masks or layers. Shift the hue of the whole image, or pick one colour range – reds, yellows, greens, cyans, blues or magentas – and change only that: turn a red jacket blue, make green grass richer, or calm an oversaturated sky. Saturation and lightness sliders work on the same range, and the colour bar shows how hues will move.

Hue
A single colour range changes only those hues, with a soft transition to neighbouring colours – for example turn a red car blue or make green grass more vivid. Greys and white are never shifted.

Image Hue Adjuster FAQ
What is hue?
The kind of colour – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple – arranged on a 360° colour wheel. Shifting the hue by 120° turns red into green and green into blue.
How does a single colour range work?
Each pixel’s hue is compared with the centre of the range. Hues within 30° are changed fully, and the effect fades out between 30° and 60°, so there are no hard borders.
Why are white and grey not affected?
Neutral tones have no hue. The tool weights the change by saturation, so greys, black and white stay neutral and skin highlights do not get tinted.
Can I change a colour precisely to a brand colour?
The tool shifts hues relative to their current position. For an exact target, adjust the hue until it matches and fine-tune saturation and lightness.
Which formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), BMP and AVIF in; JPG, PNG or WebP out. PNG and WebP keep transparency; JPG gets a white background.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The images are processed in your browser and never leave your device.
Working with hue, saturation and lightness
The HSL model describes a colour by three properties that match how we talk about colour: hue (which colour), saturation (how intense) and lightness (how light or dark). Editing in HSL makes it possible to change the colour of an object while keeping its shading, because light and shade live mostly in the lightness value.
For every pixel, the tool converts the RGB values to HSL, applies the changes and converts back. With “All colours”, the whole image rotates around the colour wheel, a quick way to create surprising colour variations. With a single range, only pixels whose hue lies near the chosen colour change.
The six ranges correspond to the primary and secondary colours of light: red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta, each 60° apart. Real objects are rarely pure, so a red car contains hues from orange-red to purple-red. The soft transition between 30° and 60° from the centre captures these variations and avoids sharp edges where colours change.
Saturation within a range is useful beyond recolouring: lowering the saturation of yellows and reds tames sunburnt skin, raising greens revives dull landscapes, and lowering blues reduces a colour cast in shadows.
The colour bar under the sliders shows the original hues on top and the result below. All editing happens on your device.
