AI Relight Photo: Change the Light in Any Photo
Flat office light, a grey overcast day, a product shot with no shape. Add the photo, drag the globe to where the light should come from, pick a color and an intensity from 1 to 10, and get the same shot under new light. No reshoot, no lighting kit, no prompt to write.

How to relight a photo with AI
Three settings decide the new light: where it comes from, what color it is and how strong it is.
Add your photo
A portrait, a product, a room or a building. Photos shot in flat or overcast light give the new light the most room to work.
Set the light
Drag the globe or pick a direction preset, then choose a color and an intensity from 1 to 10. No lighting terms or prompts needed.
Get the relit version
Shadows, highlights and reflections follow the new light. Download at 1K or 2K, and the original stays in your library.
Make a dessert glow like it was served at golden hour
Flat light makes food look like a menu scan. Moving a warm light behind the plate, slightly above the table, puts a glow in the sparkling wine, a shine on the ganache and long soft shadows across the marble.
Backlight is the food photographer's favorite trick for drinks, glazes and anything glossy. Made with warm light from behind at intensity 6.
Turn an overcast rooftop into a cinematic fashion shot
Colored light changes the story of a photo. This rooftop look was shot on a flat grey day. Teal light from the left at intensity 5 turns the sky stormy and the city cold, while the camel coat stays warm against it.
Use colored light for campaign concepts, lookbooks and music artwork, where the mood matters more than the weather on the day of the shoot.
Give a flat headshot shape with one hard light
Soft, even light is flattering but forgettable. One hard white light from the side at intensity 8 sculpts the cheekbone, the jaw and the knit of the turtleneck, and lets the other half of the face fall into shadow.
Use it for author photos, press portraits and team pages that need more character. Check the face closely before you publish, since the whole photo is generated again under the new light.
Classic looks, a few settings away
There's no fixed list of styles to learn. Set the direction, color and intensity yourself, and these looks are a few settings away.

Get light that looks natural
A relight looks real when the new light could plausibly exist in the scene. This serum was shot flat on a charcoal backdrop. A cool rim light from behind at intensity 9 outlines the bottle and the stone the way a beauty campaign would.
