How it works

  1. Upload your daytime photo

    Drop your daylight image into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Best results with outdoor scenes—cityscapes, landscapes, buildings, streets. The AI will transform the bright sky and lighting to nighttime.

    Expect: Simple conversions (add night sky): 25 seconds. Complex transformations (add city lights, stars, moon): 30-35 seconds and may need refinement.
  2. Describe the night scene you want

    Type your instruction: 'convert to nighttime with starry sky and moon' or 'transform to night scene with glowing city lights in windows.' Specify what makes it night—dark sky, stars, moon, lit windows, street lights. No marking needed—the AI understands day-to-night conversion.

    Tip: Mention specific night elements: 'stars', 'moon', 'city lights', 'street lamps' tells the AI what to add.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Basic day to night with stars convert this daytime scene to nighttime with dark blue sky and visible stars
    Night cityscape with lit windows transform to night scene with glowing warm city lights in building windows and dark sky
    Starry night with moon convert to nighttime with starry sky, visible moon, and natural night lighting
    Night with street lights transform to night scene with street lamps glowing and dark evening sky
    3 more prompts
    Deep night dramatic convert to deep nighttime with black sky, bright stars, and dramatic night atmosphere
    Twilight blue hour transform to early night twilight with deep blue sky, first stars appearing
    Night with Milky Way convert to nighttime with visible Milky Way galaxy across the dark sky
  3. Generate and review

    AI darkens the sky, adds night elements, and adjusts lighting to look like nighttime. Check that the sky is dark blue or black, lights are glowing where appropriate, and the overall mood feels like night.

  4. Refine the night effect if needed

    If the sky isn't dark enough or lights need adjustment, regenerate: 'make the sky darker with more stars' or 'add brighter city lights in buildings.' This is optional—many conversions work on first try.

    Tip: Night scenes are subjective. Try variations: 'early night twilight' vs 'deep midnight' for different moods.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark anything before converting to night?

No! Just describe the night scene: 'convert to nighttime with stars and moon' or 'add city lights at night.' The AI handles the entire day-to-night transformation automatically. No marking needed.

How do I convert day to night in a photo for free?

Upload your daytime image to EditThisPic and describe the night scene you want: 'transform to nighttime with starry sky' or 'add glowing city lights.' The AI darkens the sky, adjusts lighting, and adds night elements like stars or lit windows. Free to use, no account needed.

Will this work on any daytime photo?

Best results with outdoor scenes—cityscapes, landscapes, buildings, streets. Indoor photos or photos without visible sky may not convert as dramatically. Clear daylight photos transform better than overcast or already-dim images.

Can I specify what time of night?

Yes! 'Early twilight' creates blue hour with some light remaining. 'Deep midnight' makes very dark night. 'Dusk' or 'just after sunset' gives subtle nighttime. Describe the specific time for different night moods.

What's the difference between this and Night to Day?

This converts bright daylight to dark nighttime. Night to Day does the opposite—brightens night photos to look like day. Use this when you have a daytime photo but want it to look like it was taken at night.
