AI Aurora Effect - Add Northern Lights to Photos

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your night sky photo

   Drop your nighttime landscape, cityscape, or outdoor scene into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Best results with photos that have clear dark sky and visible horizon or landscape elements.

   Expect: Simple aurora additions: 15-30 seconds. Complex multi-color effects with specific positioning: may need 2-3 refinements for perfect placement.

   Describe the aurora you want

   Type your instruction: 'add green aurora borealis across the top of the sky with purple edges' or 'add dramatic northern lights in bright green sweeping from left to right.' Be specific about colors (green, purple, pink, blue), position (across top, sweeping from left, dancing vertically), and intensity (subtle, bright, vivid). No marking needed—the AI understands where sky is.

   Tip: Include movement words like 'sweeping,' 'dancing,' 'curtains,' or 'rays' to create more dynamic aurora patterns. Specify color gradients like 'green fading to purple at edges' for realistic effects.
