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

    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

    Autumn atmosphere add a soft autumn sky with muted blue tones and scattered clouds, warm afternoon light complementing fall colors
  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.

  5. Refine edges if needed

    If you see halos around trees or rough edges where sky meets buildings, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Tree edges are the most common area needing refinement.

    Tip: For complex tree silhouettes, try 'blend sky naturally through the tree branches' in your refinement prompt.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

๐Ÿ“ท

Home & Interior Design

Preview how sky would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing sky in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show sky in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of sky in renovation plans

Best Practices

  • Upload a well-lit, straight-on photo of the room for the most realistic result
  • Specify the size and position โ€” e.g., 'add a large sky on the left wall'
  • Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms
๐Ÿ“ท

Creative & Social Content

Use sky to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding sky to photos for unique social media posts that stand out in feeds
  • Creating fantasy or composite images that incorporate sky for art projects
  • Making holiday or themed content by placing sky in seasonal photos

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style โ€” 'realistic sky' vs. 'illustrated sky' gives very different results
  • Use reference images when you want the AI to match a particular look
  • For social content, try unusual placements that create a surreal or humorous effect
๐Ÿ“ท

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate sky into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding sky to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show sky in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature sky in different settings

Best Practices

  • Use high-resolution source images โ€” marketing materials demand sharp details
  • Keep brand guidelines in mind: specify colors and style that match when adding sky
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

Halos or white edges around trees

Why: The original sky color is bleeding through at the edges where fine tree branches meet the new sky.

Try: blend the sky naturally through the tree branches without any white halos or edge artifacts

Tip: Tap markers on the halo areas before regenerating for targeted edge cleanup

Lighting on ground doesn't match the new sky

Why: The AI replaced the sky but didn't adjust the foreground lighting to match the new time of day.

Try: add [sky type] and adjust the lighting on the scene below to match the [sunset/sunrise/midday] mood

Tip: Explicitly mention how the new sky should affect ground lighting in your prompt

Sky color looks too saturated or fake

Why: The AI generated an overly dramatic sky that doesn't look realistic.

Try: add a natural realistic sky with [color description], avoid oversaturation

Tip: Add 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt to prevent overly processed-looking skies

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI could not determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Buildings or objects have sky bleeding through

Why: The AI detected the horizon incorrectly and replaced parts of buildings with sky.

Try: replace only the sky area, keep the buildings and structures intact

Tip: For complex skylines, tap markers on the buildings to tell the AI what to preserve

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. Use markers only if the AI has trouble with complex edges like trees or unusual horizon lines.

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. Use the refinement step with markers on problem tree areas. 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.
