AI Photo Lighting

Image Relight

EditImage gives you image relight that rebuilds the lighting on a photo you already have, so the people and objects stay put while you choose a preset light, place your own light sources, or match a reference image.

From Upload To Relit Photo

Three steps carry you from the photo you have to a version with the light rebuilt by image relight.

Add The Photo To Relight

Drag in or click to upload the picture you want to relight, in JPG, PNG, or WEBP. If a look you want already lives in another shot, add that as a reference image so image relight can match its light.

Place The Light You Want

Choose a preset light to start, or open the lighting tools and set it yourself: add more than one light source, give each one a color, and aim it from the direction you want. Prefer to copy a look you already like? Load the reference image and let its light be matched inside image relight.

Preview And Download

EditImage rebuilds the lighting and shows a preview in seconds so you can check the result, then download it at up to 2K or 4K. If the light is off, step back into the controls, nudge a source, and let image relight render another version.

Where Image Relight Earns Its Place

From an overcast frame to a warm sunlight effect photo, this is where image relight earns its keep.

Overexposed Photo Fix

Shot straight into hard sun, a face and the sky can blow out together into flat white. Swap in a softer preset light, pull the source off the front, and image relight eases those bright areas back down with no reshoot required.

Product Photo Lighting

A product you photographed at home often carries messy light and grubby shadows that read as amateur on a listing page. Add one clean side light with a soft fill, and the shadows sit tidy under image relight instead of muddy.

Fix Backlit Photo

Standing against a window or the setting sun turns a person into a dark silhouette. Image relight brings the light back onto their side, and the face returns while the bright sky behind them stays where it was.

Underexposed Photo Fix

The frame you grabbed when there was not enough light comes out too dark to read. Rebuild it properly with image relight instead of dragging the brightness up and lifting all the noise along with it.

Fix Dark Photo

Indoor shots under a yellow bulb leave faces looking muddy and closed in. Image relight works with a different direction and color, and that heavy feeling lifts, which helps with the dim snaps from a party or a holiday.

Who Reaches For Image Relight

Store Owners And Sellers

You photograph your own stock at home and the light and shadows are always a touch off, but reshooting is a chore. Add a side light and a soft fill with image relight so the shadows sit clean, and the listing image looks more considered.

Everyday Social Creators

The selfie or travel shot you need to post today is framed right but lit wrong. Image relight beats setting the whole thing up again, so the post goes out looking the way you pictured it.

Family Photo Keepers

The party, wedding, and holiday photos in your library tend to come out dark, with faces you can barely make out. Bring the light back onto those faces with image relight so the memory is easier to see.

What Image Relight Puts In Your Hands

Place More Than One Light

One key light not doing it? Add another light source, then give each one its own color and direction and arrange the bright and dark areas yourself. This is where relight AI gives you more room than a single slider.

Three Ways To Control The Light

Pick a preset light and go, from a golden hour photo effect to a soft portrait lighting effect, open the tools and place the light sources yourself by count, color, and direction, or load a reference image to copy its light. As a photo lighting editor EditImage lets you work whichever way suits the shot.

Relighting, Not Just Brightening

Brightening lifts the whole frame at once; image relighting rebuilds the light itself, so where it lands and where the shadows fall both change while the people and objects stay put. As an image lighting editor it changes the light, not just the exposure.

Copy The Light From A Reference

Seen a shot with light you love? Load it as a reference and image relight applies that lighting to your own picture. It is one of the few ways to relight image content to match a look you can point to rather than spell out in numbers.

FAQ

Questions About Relighting Your Photos

Upload the shot, choose a preset light or place your own light sources by count, color, and direction, then preview and download. That flow handles most fix lighting in photo needs, and the relight tool rebuilds the light while image relight does the work.

Start by naming the problem, whether the shot is overexposed, underexposed, or backlit, then match the fix to it with a preset or by aiming your own light. Because this is AI relight rather than a brightness slider, the shadows move with the new light instead of staying stuck, which is what image relight is built for.

Brightening lifts the entire frame by the same amount and flattens the picture, while AI change lighting rebuilds where the light comes from so highlights and shadows shift together and read as real light.

In image relight you set the direction of each source and its color, or add another light where a scene needs it. You can also add light to photo areas that fell into shadow without lifting the whole exposure.

Load that shot as a reference image and its lighting is applied to your own picture. This AI relight image path helps when you can point to a look but could not describe it in settings, and image relight handles the match.

You can bring in JPG, PNG, and WEBP files and download the result at up to 2K or 4K. Reach for 4K when you want the larger size, and image relight treats every relight picture the same way.

The light is redrawn to your settings, so each render can come out a little different, and running a second version lets you keep the one you like best. On photos of real people, small changes in a face can appear, which is normal for this kind of image relight.

You need an account for image relight, and once you are signed in you can relight photo files right in your browser.

A filter lays one color wash over the whole frame, but image relight rebuilds the light, which is why AI relighting can shift the mood of a shot while the scene itself stays intact.

Give Your Photo The Right Light

Upload the shot you already have, choose or place the light, and let image relight hand it back the way you pictured it.
