Relight a photo instantly
Professional lighting makes the difference between amateur and polished photos. But fixing lighting in traditional photo editing software often means learning complex adjustment layers, fiddling with sliders, and hours of trial and error. Relight photos with our AI image editor. Choose from preset lighting styles like Golden Hour, Studio, or Cinematic. Or describe exactly what you need: "Add warm backlight" or "Fix harsh shadows on face." Perfect for solopreneurs, marketers, and lean teams who need professional-looking images without design expertise.
How to relight a photo:
Step 01
Upload your image
Upload the photo where you want to change lighting. You can upscale your image first if you're working with low-resolution photos for better detail.
Step 02
Choose lighting preset or describe custom lighting
Click a lighting preset like "Golden hour," "Studio," or "Candlelight" for instant transformation. Or type a custom prompt describing the lighting change you want.
Step 03
Download or create a video
Save your relit photo or continue editing. Once you've applied new lighting, you can type additional prompts to adjust other elements, like removing distracting backgrounds or modifying colors.
