Relight a Photo with AI

Upload a photo, pick one of six lighting presets, and get a relit image that keeps the subject, pose, and composition — instead of typing change the lighting and getting a different scene.

The result matches the closest available aspect ratio to your source image.

Why relighting a photo can go wrong

A convincing relight needs more than a lighting label. It needs believable direction and softness without replacing the subject or composition you started with.

  • Flat or harsh lighting

    Flat, harsh, or mismatched light makes a photo feel off. Each preset rebuilds direction, softness, and warmth with concrete cues instead of one vague lighting keyword.

  • The words new lighting are not enough

    Typing change the lighting into a prompt often returns a different scene. Each preset gives the edit a concrete lighting direction while keeping the rest of the image intact.

  • Keep the original person and frame

    Every preset tells the edit to keep identity, facial features, pose, composition, and framing unchanged, so your relit photo is still recognizably the same shot.

From upload to a relit photo

One focused workbench keeps the source image, lighting preset, credit cost, and private result together while you relight a photo.

  1. 1

    Add one image

    Choose one JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. It uploads to your private account storage only when you create.

  2. 2

    Choose a lighting preset

    Choose a lighting direction while the source image remains visible in the workbench.

  3. 3

    Relight and download

    Use account credits to create, review, and download your relit image from the private result area.

Where relighting a photo helps

Use one focused relight when the source is already right but the lighting direction or mood still feels wrong.

  • Portraits and profile photos

    Relight a portrait into softer or warmer light while keeping the person, pose, and framing recognizable.

  • Creator drafts

    Give generated campaign or social images a more intentional lighting direction before review.

  • Product and lifestyle images

    Apply a consistent lighting direction to a real product or lifestyle image while preserving its layout.

What stays clear while you relight

Keep the settings that matter visible without turning one relight into a long editor.

  • One image input

    Each result accepts one JPEG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB.

  • Six focused presets

    Compare six lighting directions before you create a result.

  • Visible framing behavior

    The result uses the closest available aspect ratio to your source image.

  • Private result destination

    The source image and result stay private to your account and the completed result can be downloaded.

Why use this relight photo workbench?

FluxDream keeps the source, lighting direction, and private result destination together so the edit remains easy to follow.

  • One canonical workbench

    Upload, preset selection, status, and result share one route.

  • Transparent constraints

    Accepted formats, file limit, privacy boundary, framing behavior, and credit status appear before you create.

  • Easy to try another direction

    Replace the source or select another supported lighting direction without leaving the page.

Questions before you relight

Understand identity preservation, supported files, privacy, framing, and credits before you create.

Which image files can I use?
Upload one JPEG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB.
Will it keep my face and pose?
The relight prompt explicitly preserves subject identity, facial features, pose, composition, and framing, and only changes the light. As with any generated edit, review the result before using it.
Why not just prompt change the lighting?
A generic request to change the lighting can shift the whole scene or the subject. These presets give the relit image a concrete lighting direction while asking it to keep everything else unchanged.
Will the result keep my image framing?
The result uses the closest supported aspect ratio to your source image, while the edit prompt preserves its composition and framing.
Will my source image or result be public?
No. Your source image and result remain private to your account.
How many credits does one result use?
The workbench shows the exact credit cost before generation. If your balance is too low, it opens the available credit options without discarding your image or preset.
Is the relight photo tool free?
Relighting a photo uses credits. Your current balance and any available credit options are shown before you continue.
Does it work on AI-generated images and real photos?
Yes. You can relight AI-generated images and real photos alike, applying the same lighting directions while preserving the subject and composition.
