How it works

  1. Upload your graduation photo

    Upload your event photo. Group shots, candids, or posed images all work — the AI handles various compositions for graduation photos enhancement. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Background replacement or lighting fix: 30-40 seconds. Complex edits like adding regalia or fixing group photos: 45-60 seconds and may need refinements.
  2. Describe the graduation photo edit

    Type your instruction: 'replace the background with a beautiful campus building and green lawn' or 'fix the harsh shadows on the cap and gown and make the lighting even.' Be specific about what you want changed—background, lighting, colors, or all of the above. No marking needed—the AI understands graduation photo elements like 'cap,' 'gown,' and 'tassel.'

    Tip: Mention specific campus elements like 'brick building with columns' or 'green quad with trees' for the most realistic graduation backdrops.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Campus background replacement replace the background with a beautiful university campus with a brick building, white columns, and manicured green lawn on a sunny day
    Fix harsh outdoor lighting fix the harsh sunlight shadows on the face and graduation gown, make the lighting soft and even while keeping the outdoor setting natural
    Rainy day to sunny day change the grey overcast sky to bright blue sky with fluffy clouds, make the lighting warm and sunny, keep the graduation outfit and setting
    Clean portrait from busy scene remove the crowd and distracting background elements, replace with a clean blurred campus bokeh background, keep focus on the graduate
    3 more prompts
    Add graduation cap and gown add a black graduation cap and gown to this person, with tassel on the right side, maintain the current background and lighting
    Indoor ceremony photo enhancement enhance this indoor graduation ceremony photo - brighten the dark auditorium lighting, reduce red-eye from flash, and sharpen the faces
    Formal graduation portrait transform into a formal graduation portrait with solid dark blue background, professional studio lighting highlighting the cap and gown, and a proud confident expression
  3. Review the edit

    Check that the graduation attire looks natural, the background is believable, and the lighting is consistent between the subject and the new setting. Verify that the cap sits naturally and the gown drapes properly.
