How to relight a photo

Change the lighting and mood of a photo with AI.

1

Upload your image

Add a portrait or scene whose lighting you want to change.

2

Describe the lighting

Type the look you want — “soft studio light”, “warm golden hour”, “dramatic side lighting”.

3

Generate and download

AI re-lights the scene while keeping the subject intact, then you download it.

Frequently asked questions

What does relighting do?

It changes the direction, color and mood of the light in a photo — turning flat lighting into studio, golden-hour or dramatic looks.

Will it keep my subject unchanged?

Yes — it relights the existing scene rather than regenerating the subject, so people and objects stay recognizable.

What lighting styles can I ask for?

Anything you can describe: soft and even, warm sunset, cool moonlight, hard side light, rim light and more.

Is it good for portraits and products?

Yes — both benefit from better, more intentional lighting without a physical studio setup.

Is relighting a premium feature?

Yes — AI relighting is a premium tool, unlocked with a Pro plan or credits.

Which formats can I relight?

JPG, PNG and WebP are supported; portraits and product shots respond best to relighting.

Is my photo private after relighting?

Your photo is used only to produce the relit version, never shared, and cleaned up automatically afterwards.
