insMind Open Eyes
Brush over the closed eyes, type a prompt, and it opens them, rescuing the shot where somebody blinked.
PaidBeginnerWebiOSAndroid
Overview
insMind Open Eyes fixes a portrait where someone blinked. It is not one click. You brush the eye area to mark it, type a prompt such as 'open closed eye', then generate. Because you show it where to work, the rest of the photo is left alone. It sits inside the wider insMind editor, so the same photo can carry on to background removal or retouching.
It works in the browser and in the insMind iPhone and Android apps under one account. Every generation costs a credit. insMind advertises free credits for new users. A fresh sign-in had none to spend, and the tool asked for a top-up. Credits come with a subscription or a one-time purchase.

When to use
Use insMind Open Eyes if:
- Someone shut their eyes in a photo and there is no other frame.
- You want the fix to touch the eyes and nothing else, which is what marking them yourself gets you.
- You are already editing in insMind and want the fix in place.
- You are working from a phone, since the same tool runs in the iPhone and Android apps.
When NOT to use
Skip insMind Open Eyes if any of these describe you:
- You have another frame with their eyes open. Use that instead of a generated fix.
- You want one click. Here you brush the eyes and write an instruction first, while Fotor's version runs on its own with nothing to mark.
- You are not willing to buy credits. Every run here costs them, so compare the other open closed eyes tools first.
- You want to set the exact gaze or eyelid shape. You describe the fix in words here, and Adobe Photoshop gives you direct control.
Frequently asked questions
No. Every generation costs a credit. insMind advertises free credits for new users, but a signed-in account had none available and the tool asked to buy more before it would run. Credits come with a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time purchase. Check insMind's pricing page for the current terms.
You decide, because you mark the eyes yourself. Whatever you do not brush is left alone, so on a group shot the other faces stay as photographed. If several people blinked, mark each pair of eyes.
A short instruction describing the fix, such as 'open closed eye'. The brush tells the AI where to work and the prompt tells it what to do there. There is no preset button that fills this in for you.
Yes. Open Eyes sits inside the insMind editor, so the same image can go on to background removal, enhancement or retouching without exporting and starting again elsewhere.
Yes. insMind runs in the browser and as iPhone and Android apps with one account. Every version processes the photo on insMind's servers, so the apps need a connection.
Results vary with the photo. The AI draws open eyes rather than recovering the ones that were there, so check the fix at full size.
