Does AI relighting look realistic, and what are the limits?
It looks most natural on a sharp photo with a clear light direction; evenly lit photos change less. The pose and background are meant to stay, but faces and fine detail can shift a little, and a photo whose shorter side is under 256 px is refused before any charge.
Limits today
- Evenly lit photos change less than strongly lit ones, so the new light shows most when the source has a clear light direction.
- The pose and background are meant to stay, but the AI regenerates the lighting, so faces and fine detail can shift a little.
- A photo whose shorter side is under 256 px is refused before anything is charged.
- If the AI's safety filter declines a photo, or the provider fails, you are not charged.
- Results made with free credits carry a small "Made with inflyu" mark; the free try needs a verified email.
What works best
- A sharp photo up to 10 MB with a clear subject and some existing light and shadow.
- One of the four presets for a first try, or a short description of the light you want.
- To compare moods, run the tool again with another preset on the same photo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lighting presets can I choose from?
Golden hour, studio, neon, and window light, or skip the preset and describe your own lighting in plain text.
Does relighting change the pose or background?
No. Only the lighting, shadows, and highlights change: the subject, outfit, and background composition stay exactly the same.
Can I relight a product photo, not just a portrait?
Yes. Relight works on any photo where you want to change the mood of the light without reshooting.
Is the free trial really free?
Yes, to try. A free account (no card) gets 2 images in total once your email is verified. You make the account when you upload your photo, then the tool runs. After that, credit packs start at $2.99 with no subscription, and an edit is 2 credits. Results made with free credits carry a small "Made with inflyu" mark.
Why did my result look too similar to the original?
Very evenly lit source photos leave less room for a dramatic change. Try a preset with more contrast, like neon or golden hour.
