Everyday coffee and tea stain
A close, front-facing smile with soft yellow staining on the front teeth. The brighter preview lifts the shade while keeping each tooth edge, the small gaps, and the natural shadow between neighbours.

Whiten Teeth in Photo
Upload one smile, pick a natural, bright, or pearl level, then compare and download the whitened teeth.
Teeth only, on purpose
Every run asks the model to brighten only the visible tooth surfaces and to leave the lips, gums, skin, and background alone. It is a cosmetic photo preview, not a dental treatment or a shade guide.

Illustrative before and after pairs
See a Brighter Smile on the Same Face
Each pair is an illustration of a fictional adult, not a customer photo, and shows the kind of local change the workbench targets. Look at the biting edges, the shadow between the teeth, and the lip contact, because that is where a believable teeth whitening either holds or breaks.
Warm indoor yellow cast
A portrait lit by warm indoor light, where the teeth pick up a yellow cast from the room. The preview cools the tooth shade toward a natural off-white without touching the skin or the background light.
A relaxed, partially open smile
A candid smile where only part of the upper teeth is visible below the lip. The preview brightens just the teeth that show and leaves the lower teeth, tongue, and lip line exactly where they are.
What changes and what stays
What This AI Teeth Whitener Edits
A smile preview is only useful when the face is still yours. The tool changes tooth brightness and shade and asks the model to leave everything else as close to the source as it can.
Tooth brightness, not the teeth
The locked brief keeps every tooth the same shape, size, angle, and position, and keeps the gum line, the small gaps, and the biting edges. It does not add teeth, remove teeth, straighten, or reshape them.
Three conservative levels
Natural is a one-shade lift, Bright is a moderate two-shade lift, and Pearl is a stronger lift toward clean natural ivory. None of them is allowed to produce a flat or unnatural pure white.
Honest limits
A closed mouth, teeth hidden by a hand or object, or braces and aligners that cover most of the teeth leave little tooth surface to work with. The workbench asks you to confirm the teeth are visible before every run.
Practical workflow
How to Whiten Teeth in a Photo
The best source is a sharp, evenly lit photo where the teeth are clearly visible and fill a good part of the frame. A relaxed, front-facing smile gives this AI teeth whitener the most real tooth surface to brighten.
- 01
Upload one clear smile photo
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 5 MB, with each side from 256 to 4,096 pixels and no more than 16 megapixels. The workbench reads the dimensions locally before a run is allowed.
- 02
Pick a whitening level
Natural is the default and the safest choice. Move up to Bright or Pearl only when you want a more visible change, and remember that the goal is a natural smile, not a paper-white one.
- 03
Run one tracked preview
Sign in, confirm the fixed cost of 25 credits, and start one tracked job. The result is a 1K image at the same aspect ratio as your photo. Controls lock while the job runs so the request and the result always describe the same level.
- 04
Compare, then download
Drag the split view across the smile and check the tooth edges, the shadow between the teeth, and the lip line against the source. Download only when the smile still looks like yours. A failed task refunds its credits, and a paused status check can resume the original task.
Choose the right route
AI Teeth Whitener vs Beauty App Smile Filter vs Photoshop
The right route depends on whether you want a finished photo of your own smile, a live camera filter, or a manual edit you control pixel by pixel. Names below describe product classes rather than specific brands.
Banana Pro AI Teeth Whitener
- Best for
- A finished, shareable still of your own smile with a natural brighter tooth shade
- Control
- Three conservative levels, a locked brief that keeps tooth shape and lips, split comparison, and a tracked download for 25 credits
- Tradeoff
- No live camera view, no custom tooth-shade number, and the whole image is regenerated, so fine details deserve a close check
Beauty app smile filter
- Best for
- People editing on a phone who want a quick teeth-whitening slider inside a live camera or a preset selfie filter
- Control
- A fast slider or preset that lifts tooth brightness, usually bundled with skin smoothing and face reshaping
- Tradeoff
- The effect is often applied to a low-resolution preview, other beauty edits are bundled in, and the same slider can flatten tooth texture or spill onto the lips
Photoshop manual whitening
- Best for
- Retouchers who already mask the teeth by hand and need exact control for a client file
- Control
- Selections, hue and saturation layers, and curves on the exact pixels, with any color and strength you mix
- Tradeoff
- Takes skill and time per smile. Sloppy masks tint the gums or lips, and over-brightening erases the shadow between the teeth
Choosing a level
Natural, Bright, or Pearl: Which Teeth Whitening Level?
Tooth color comes mostly from the shade of the dentin under a thin, translucent layer of enamel, plus whatever the surface has picked up from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. A photo preview cannot change real enamel, so use the lightest level that gives the change you want.
Natural
A subtle one-shade lift that keeps the original warm undertone. Pick it for a headshot or a dating photo where you want a cleaner smile without anyone noticing an edit.
Bright
A moderate two-shade lift toward a fresh off-white. It still keeps visible depth and a faint warm tone, so the teeth stay believable in daylight and in indoor light.
Pearl
A stronger lift toward clean natural ivory. Use it when the source is noticeably yellow and you accept a more obvious change; the biting edge stays slightly translucent so it never reads as paint.

Hard inputs
Photos That Work and Photos That Fail
We deliberately test weak smiles so this page can say where the teeth whitener holds up and where it fails. If your photo matches a weak case, pick a different source instead of paying for the same run twice.
Closed mouth or hidden teeth
If the lips cover the teeth, or a hand, cup, or microphone hides them, there is no tooth surface to brighten. The model is told to leave the mouth unchanged instead of inventing teeth, so pick a photo with a visible smile.
Braces, aligners, and retainers
Metal brackets, clear aligners, and retainers cover much of the tooth surface and add reflections that are easy to botch. Short braces and wires may still work, but expect mixed results and treat the preview as a rough idea only.
Small, dark, or blurry smiles
A full-body shot, a night photo, heavy motion blur, or a smile that is tiny in the frame leaves too few bright pixels to work with. Crop closer to the smile before uploading instead of running the same weak photo again.
Colored and mixed lighting
Strong neon, colored gels, and deep shade push a color cast onto the teeth that the model may read as real staining. Neutral, even daylight gives the most predictable whitening result.
What This Tool Can and Cannot Promise
The AI teeth whitener generates a new image from your photo plus a fixed, server-owned brief. It is a cosmetic visual preview. It does not clean your teeth, change the real shade of your enamel, or replace a dentist. Because the whole image is regenerated, very small details can still shift, especially the lip edge, the gum line, and the fine texture of the teeth.
Keep the original file. If the teeth look flat, painted, or the wrong shape, or the mouth moved, discard the result and try a sharper, front-facing photo with a relaxed, even smile in focus. Persistent tooth staining or pain is a dental question, not a photo edit; the American Dental Association recommends regular professional check-ups rather than editing a picture.
Privacy, Storage, and Deletion
Upload only smile photos you own or have permission to edit, and never use the tool to misrepresent someone else. Signed-in teeth whitening tasks and results can appear in My Creations so a task can be recovered after a temporary connection problem instead of being paid for twice.
The current storage backend has no automatic expiry for uploaded or generated image objects. Delete in My Creations soft-deletes the task record from account history; it does not delete the underlying image object or provider copy. Analytics events record only the tool and the level choice, never the photo. Review the Privacy Policy before uploading a face photo.
Tool specifications
A Focused Smile Path
The workbench accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 5 MB. Each side must be between 256 and 4,096 pixels, and the image must stay within 16 megapixels. One run costs 25 credits and returns a 1K result at an automatic aspect ratio that follows your photo.
Processing reinterprets the teeth the camera recorded, so the result is a cosmetic preview rather than a dental exam or a clinical whitening result.

Questions
AI Teeth Whitener FAQ
Straight answers about photos, levels, credits, and what a photo preview cannot tell you.
How do I whiten teeth in a photo?
Upload one clear smile photo, choose the natural, bright, or pearl level, then run the preview. When it finishes, drag the split view to compare the teeth with the original and download the version you like. Natural is the safest starting point.
Will the whitened teeth still look real?
That is what the locked brief is for: it asks the model to change only the brightness and shade of the visible teeth and to keep the tooth shape, lips, gums, and skin. It is not a guarantee, because the image is regenerated. A sharp, front-facing smile with visible teeth holds up best.
Does it work with a closed mouth or braces?
A closed mouth has no tooth surface to brighten, so the model is told to leave it unchanged rather than invent teeth. Braces, clear aligners, and retainers cover much of the tooth and add reflections, so results are mixed. The workbench asks you to confirm the teeth are visible before every run.
How much does one teeth whitening run cost?
One run uses 25 credits and returns a single 1K image. The workbench shows the cost and your remaining balance before submission. If the task fails, the credits are refunded, and a dropped connection resumes the original task instead of charging again.
Can I use this for a headshot or a dating photo?
Yes, as long as you own the photo and are honest about the edit. Natural is the level most people want for a professional headshot or a dating profile, because a subtle lift reads as good light rather than an obvious filter. Keep the original file as your record.
Is this the same as real teeth whitening?
No. A photo can only brighten the pixels the camera recorded; it cannot change your enamel or remove real stains. The American Dental Association recommends talking to a dentist about persistent staining rather than relying on an edited photo. This tool is a visual preview only.
