AI Photo Relighting
Change the apparent light direction, radius, intensity and color of a photograph to explore a different visual emphasis. The interactive preview is useful for portraits, products and creative lighting studies.
Core capabilities
- Movable light position
- Intensity and radius controls
- Selectable light color
- Interactive browser rendering
How it works
The workflow estimates scene information and uses a shader-based rendering step to simulate how a movable light affects the image. Controls change the light position and energy rather than simply increasing global brightness.
Relighting from a single flat image is an approximation. Hidden geometry and true material properties are unknown, so strong settings can produce unnatural shading.
How to use AI Photo Relighting
- Upload a supported photograph
- Move the on-image light control
- Adjust intensity, radius and light color
- Preview the rendered result and download it
Practical uses
- Exploring portrait key-light positions
- Adding depth to product presentation
- Testing color and intensity before a reshoot
Limitations
The tool cannot reveal real detail that is clipped to pure black or white. Results depend on the estimated scene representation, and reflective or transparent surfaces may not respond physically accurately.
Privacy and processing
The relighting pipeline uses browser-side model and rendering resources. Initial model loading requires a network connection, while interactive adjustments are designed to occur on the device.
Frequently asked questions
Is relighting the same as changing brightness?
No. It simulates a positioned light with direction and falloff rather than applying one global brightness value.
Can it recover an underexposed face?
It may improve the appearance, but detail clipped from the source cannot be recovered reliably.
What can I adjust?
The interface provides controls for position, intensity, radius and light color.
Why do reflective objects look unusual?
A single image does not provide complete geometry or material information, so the rendering is approximate.
