Why this tool
Why people pick AI Photo Relighting
New Light Source on Demand
Specify any lighting setup — golden hour, studio softbox, neon rim light, candlelight — and the AI reconstructs the scene under those conditions.
Consistent Shadows and Highlights
The model understands scene geometry, so shadows fall realistically and highlights wrap correctly around subjects.
Portrait and Product Ready
Handles both portraits and product photography. Useful for e-commerce listings, headshots, and editorial work.
How it works
How AI Photo Relighting works
- 01
Upload your photo
Start with any well-composed image — portrait, product shot, or scene. Resolution of at least 800px on the short side produces the best results.
- 02
Describe the new lighting
Specify direction, color temperature, softness, and mood. For example: 'warm rim light from the right, cool ambient fill, soft shadows'.
- 03
Review the relit version
Mintdreamer generates the relit image. Inspect shadows, highlights, and color temperature to confirm the result matches your intent.
- 04
Download and use
Export the output at full resolution. It slots directly into your existing workflow — no additional retouching needed for most use cases.

FAQ
Common questions
Does this work on any type of photo?+
It works best on portraits and product photography with a single clear subject. Complex multi-subject scenes with mixed existing lighting can produce less predictable results.
Can I specify an exact light position like '45 degrees above left'?+
Yes. Directional descriptions in the prompt are respected. The more specific your lighting description, the more accurately the output matches.
Will the background change when I relight?+
The background lighting adjusts to match the new light source for a consistent scene. If you want only the subject relit, specify that in the prompt.
Is this useful for RAW files?+
Upload a JPG or PNG export from your RAW editor. The AI relighting works on rendered images, not raw sensor data.
How is AI relighting different from color grading?+
Color grading shifts tones uniformly. AI relighting recalculates where light actually falls in the scene — changing shadow direction and highlight shape, not just overall color.
