Prankle's AI Relight tool reimagines the lighting of any portrait or scene without a studio or reshooting. Drag the direction pad to move the light source to any of 8 positions, pick any color for the light, toggle between soft studio diffusion and sharp dramatic shadows, and fine-tune brightness to taste.
Built on IC-Light — a state-of-the-art illumination model — Relight realistically re-renders shadows, specular highlights, and ambient bounce light as if the photo was taken under the new lighting setup. Transforming a flat daylight shot into a moody purple rim-lit portrait takes under 30 seconds.
Upload any portrait or scene photo. IC-Light works on indoor, outdoor, and studio images.
Set the light direction, choose a color with the color picker, toggle Soft or Hard shadows, and adjust brightness.
The AI re-renders the scene under your new lighting setup. Download the result in seconds.
Top, front, left, right, back, bottom — point the light source anywhere with the interactive direction pad.
Use the color picker to choose any light color — from warm golden hour to cool blue neon or dramatic red.
Soft diffuses the light for a flattering studio look. Hard creates crisp shadows for cinematic drama.
Fine-tune exposure from dark and moody to bright and airy with a single slider.
One of the most advanced illumination AI models available — renders physically plausible light behavior, not just a color overlay.
Relight people, products, buildings, landscapes — the model handles both subjects and backgrounds.
AI relighting uses a neural network to re-render the lighting in a photo as if the scene was shot under a different light source. Unlike filters, it computes realistic shadows and highlights.
Clear portraits and scenes with well-defined subjects work best. The AI needs a readable subject to recalculate shadows correctly. Avoid heavy blur or extreme low resolution.
Yes. The full-spectrum color picker lets you choose any hex color for the light — warm, cool, saturated, pastel, or neutral white.
A filter overlays a color tone uniformly. IC-Light computes where shadows fall, how highlights bounce, and how ambient light wraps the subject — producing physically plausible illumination changes.
Yes — relighting product shots to show different moods or lighting setups is a popular use case, saving significant studio time and cost.
