Evoto AI Open Eyes
Evoto feature that opens closed or squinting eyes in a portrait, using reference photos to match the real person.
FreemiumBeginnerWebWindowsMaciOSAndroid
Overview
Evoto AI Open Eyes rebuilds open eyes on someone who blinked or squinted in a portrait. It finds the closed eyes itself, so there is nothing to select by hand. You can add up to three reference photos of the same person with their eyes open, and the AI matches their real eyes. In a group shot it lines each reference up with the right face, and eyelashes and skin texture stay in place.
Open Eyes is one feature inside Evoto, the AI photo editor for photographers. It runs as a Windows and Mac desktop app, with mobile apps and a browser version on Evoto's site. Editing is free. You spend credits only when you export the finished photo, bought as pay-as-you-go packs or a subscription.

When to use
Use Evoto AI Open Eyes if:
- You shoot events or groups and lose otherwise good frames because someone blinked. The AI finds the closed eyes for you rather than making you select each one.
- You photograph in bright sun where people squint, since it opens half-closed eyes as well as fully shut ones.
- You have other frames of the same person with their eyes open. Add up to three as references and the rebuilt eyes are matched to how their eyes look.
- You are fixing a group photo. Each reference is matched to the right face, so people do not get each other's eyes.
- You already edit whole shoots in Evoto and want blinks handled without leaving the retouching pass.
When NOT to use
Skip Evoto AI Open Eyes if any of these describe you:
- You want a free full-resolution result. Every Evoto export costs a credit, and the browser download is free only at low resolution.
- You have no other photo of the person with their eyes open and the eyes are fully shut. With nothing to match, the AI is inventing the eyes rather than reconstructing them.
- You want one setting to dial the effect up or down across a shoot. Evoto rebuilds the eyes to match the reference rather than giving you a strength slider.
- You want to compare several tools on the same photo first. Other open closed eyes tools handle a blink differently.
Frequently asked questions
Editing is free, like the rest of Evoto, and new accounts come with 50 free credits. You spend credits only when you export the finished photo. Credits are bought as pay-as-you-go packs or through a subscription. That means you can run the fix and look at the result before deciding to pay for it.
It detects the closed eyes on its own, so there is no selecting or masking. You can also add up to three photos of the same person with their eyes open, and the AI uses them to rebuild the eyes to match. In a group photo it works out which reference belongs to which face.
It can still open the eyes using the face in the shot, but the result is closer to a guess than a match, because nothing tells the AI what that person's eyes look like. Reference photos are what make the fix specific to the person rather than generic.
Open Eyes is part of the Evoto editor, a desktop app for Windows and Mac. Evoto also has mobile apps, and this feature has a browser version on Evoto's own page for it. The AI runs on Evoto's servers, so the app needs a connection even though it is installed on your computer.
The vendor states that images are not reused for other purposes. Evoto holds two security certifications, ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and states that it complies with GDPR and CCPA. If your client contracts limit sharing photos with outside services, check them against Evoto's terms before uploading a shoot.
