AI Relight: Change Lighting on Any Photo or Video

Change lighting on photos and videos with AI. For images, choose a custom light direction, one of seven style presets, or a reference image, then preview and download the result. Video Relight is coming soon.

How to relight with AI

Step 1. Upload a photo or video

Add the photo or video you want to relight, from a product asset or portrait to UGC or an existing clip.

Step 2. Choose and tune the light

Choose a light direction with the spherical selector, then adjust Intensity, Softness, and Color. Use a preset or reference to shape the mood.

Step 3. Preview and download

Generate a photo or video preview, check the new light direction, highlights, shadows, and depth, then download the result for your campaign, post, or catalog.

Rescue a photo you would rather not reshoot

Find a look faster with seven Style Presets

Follow a lighting direction with Light reference

Shape light instead of only raising brightness

A brighter file is not always a better lit one. AI relight works with light direction, highlights, shadows, and depth so you can create a more intentional result for surfaces, facial contours, and the space around the subject. This helps the image feel shaped, not simply brighter.
