How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Landscape photos with foliage, trees, and sky work best for infrared transformation. The effect is most dramatic on sunny day outdoor scenes.

Expect: Simple infrared conversions: 15-30 seconds. Complex adjustments: may need 1-2 refinements for perfect false-color effect.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'apply infrared filter with white foliage and dark sky' or 'transform into infrared photography with glowing trees.' Specify the false-color intensity and mood. No marking needed—the AI understands infrared photography characteristics.

Tip: Mention 'white foliage,' 'dark sky,' or 'glowing vegetation' to control the signature infrared false-color effect.

Generate and review

Click Generate and the AI applies infrared styling with inverted foliage colors, darkened skies, and surreal atmosphere. Review the false-color effect and contrast at full zoom.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific areas need adjusted false-color intensity, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional—most infrared filters work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first.

If something looks off

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

Why: The AI couldn't 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

Try This →

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

Foliage isn't white enough or sky isn't dark enough

Why: The infrared false-color effect wasn't applied intensely enough for dramatic contrast.

Try: Request stronger effect: 'apply infrared filter with bright white vegetation and pure black sky'

Try This →

Tip: Use 'bright white,' 'pure black,' or 'maximum contrast' for dramatic infrared effect.

Effect looks unnatural or too extreme

Why: The infrared transformation was too intense for the image content.

Try: Request subtle effect: 'apply infrared filter with subtle foliage glow and mild contrast'

Try This →

Tip: Add 'subtle,' 'mild,' or 'gentle' to tone down the infrared intensity.

Wrong colors in false-color infrared

Why: The AI used default infrared colors instead of the specific false-color palette you wanted.

Try: Specify colors: 'apply infrared filter with pink foliage' or 'red and magenta vegetation'

Try This →

Tip: Name specific false-color tones: white, pink, red, magenta for foliage; black, deep blue for sky.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before applying the infrared filter?

No! Just describe what you want: 'apply infrared filter with white foliage' or 'transform into infrared photography with dark sky.' The AI understands infrared photography characteristics and applies the false-color effect to the entire image. Only use markers when you need precision control over intensity in specific areas.

How do I apply an infrared filter to my photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'apply infrared filter with white glowing trees and dark sky.' The AI transforms your image with surreal infrared photography style in 15-30 seconds. Free to use, no account required, no watermark on downloads.

What is infrared photography?

Infrared photography captures light invisible to human eyes. Living foliage reflects infrared light strongly and appears white or bright pink/red (false-color), while skies absorb infrared and appear dark. This creates surreal, otherworldly landscapes. Our AI filter recreates this effect without needing infrared camera equipment.

What types of photos work best for infrared effect?

Landscape photos with trees, grass, and foliage work exceptionally well as vegetation shows the dramatic white glow. Sunny day outdoor scenes with blue skies create the strongest contrast. Parks, forests, gardens, and nature photos transform most dramatically into infrared style.
