How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your outdoor photo into EditThisPic. Works with any image that has visible sky - landscapes, architecture, portraits, real estate. The AI detects horizon lines and building edges automatically. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple horizon lines: 15-25 seconds. Complex edges with trees or buildings: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Upload a sky photo (for specific skies)

    Click '+ Add another image' and select a photo of the sky you want. This is perfect for matching skies across a photo set, using a dramatic sunset you captured, or maintaining consistent sky style in real estate listings.

    Tip: Don't have a specific sky photo? Skip this step and describe what you want - the AI generates beautiful skies from description.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Real estate photography replace the sky with a clear bright blue sky with a few wispy white clouds, matching midday lighting on the house
    Dramatic sunset add a dramatic sunset sky with vibrant orange, pink, and purple clouds, golden hour lighting reflecting on the scene
    Moody storm clouds add a dramatic stormy sky with dark gray clouds and dramatic lighting, creating a moody atmosphere
    Soft sunrise add a soft pastel sunrise sky with gentle pink and lavender hues, early morning light on the landscape
    3 more prompts
    Night sky with stars replace sky with a clear night sky filled with visible stars and a subtle Milky Way, keeping foreground lighting natural
    Tropical paradise add a vibrant tropical blue sky with dramatic white cumulus clouds towering in the distance, bright sunny day
    Autumn atmosphere add a soft autumn sky with muted blue tones and scattered clouds, warm afternoon light complementing fall colors
  3. Describe how to apply it

    With reference: 'use the sky from my reference photo' or 'replace the sky with this one, matching the lighting.' Without reference: describe it fully: 'add a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds.' Include time of day and cloud types.

    Tip: Match lighting direction: if the sun lit your subject from the left, the sky's sun position should match

  4. Generate and review

    Check that the horizon blend looks natural, especially around trees, buildings, and other edges. Verify the lighting on the ground matches the new sky - a sunset sky should cast warm light on the scene.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the sky before replacing it?

No! Just describe the sky you want: 'add a sunset sky' or 'replace with blue sky and clouds.' The AI automatically detects where the sky is in your photo and replaces only that area.

Will the lighting on my subject match the new sky?

For best results, include lighting instructions: 'with matching sunset light on the scene' or 'midday lighting on the ground.' The AI can adjust foreground lighting to match the new sky mood, but being explicit about this in your prompt ensures better results.

Can I use a specific sky photo I have?

EditThisPic generates skies from your description rather than accepting reference images. However, you can describe skies very specifically: 'dramatic orange sunset like Arizona desert sky' or 'soft pastel Hawaiian sunset.' The AI creates beautiful skies matching your detailed description.

Why do tree edges look rough after sky replacement?

Tree branches create very fine edges that are challenging to separate from the original sky. Try adding 'blend naturally through tree branches' to your prompt for better edge handling.

Does this work with photos that have no visible sky?

The photo needs some visible sky area to replace. If your photo is entirely indoors or has no sky visible, consider using the 'extend photo' tool to add sky above the current frame, or the 'add background' tool for complete scene changes.
