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.
