AI Light Painting Effect

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your photo

   Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better light painting results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Simple light trails (single streak or circle): 30-40 seconds. Complex patterns with multiple colors and spiral paths: may need 45-60 seconds and 2-3 refinements for precise placement.
2. 2

   Describe the light painting

   Type your instruction: 'add glowing blue light trails spiraling from bottom left to top right' or 'paint golden light streaks forming a circle around the subject's head like a halo.' Be specific about color, motion path (spiral, wave, zigzag, circle), starting and ending points, and intensity. The AI understands light painting terminology like 'glow,' 'trails,' 'motion blur,' and 'light streaks.' No marking needed for simple patterns.

   Tip: Describe the path of motion: 'spiraling,' 'sweeping from left to right,' 'orbiting around center.' This helps the AI create realistic motion blur and trail direction.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Circular light halo around subject add glowing golden light trail forming a perfect circle around the subject's head like a halo, with soft warm glow and slight motion blur

   Spiral light trails from ground paint bright blue light trails spiraling upward from the bottom of the frame, wrapping around the subject with decreasing intensity as they rise

   Heart shape light painting add glowing pink and red light trails forming a heart shape in the center, with soft romantic glow and subtle sparkles

   Sweeping light streaks across frame create flowing light streaks sweeping from left to right across the entire frame, gradient from orange to yellow, with motion blur

   4 more prompts

   Orbiting light particles add dozens of small glowing white light particles orbiting around the subject in multiple circular paths at different speeds, creating a magical aura

   Light writing or text paint glowing blue light trails forming the word LOVE in cursive script style, positioned in the upper third of the frame with natural handwriting flow

   Copy Try This →

   Zigzag lightning-style trails add sharp electric blue light trails in zigzag lightning pattern striking from top to bottom, with bright core and softer outer glow

   Generate and check placement

   Click Generate and watch the light painting appear. Zoom in to check that trails follow the path you described and the glow looks natural. Verify light colors blend properly with the scene's ambient lighting and cast subtle reflections where appropriate.

4. 4

   Refine intensity and color

   If the glow is too bright or too dim, adjust your prompt: 'make the light trails brighter' or 'reduce the glow intensity by half.' To change colors: 'shift the blue trails to electric purple.' Regenerate with the refined description. The AI preserves the path while adjusting visual properties.
