How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for neon portrait editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple neon effect: 30-40 seconds. Complex multi-color neon with detailed glow: 45-60 seconds.
  2. Describe the neon style you want

    Type your instruction: 'transform this portrait into neon style with glowing pink and blue outlines on a dark background' or 'create a cyberpunk neon portrait with electric green and purple glow.' Specify the neon colors, glow intensity, and mood. No marking needed—the AI applies the neon effect to the entire image.

    Tip: Specify exact neon colors: 'hot pink and electric blue' or 'neon green and purple' for more controlled results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Neon outline art convert this photo to neon outline art where only the glowing neon contour lines are visible on a pure black background
    Multi-color neon explosion create an intense neon portrait with rainbow neon colors, light trails, lens flares, and maximum electric glow intensity
  3. Review the neon result

    Check that neon glow lines follow the subject's contours naturally. Look for consistent glow intensity, proper color bleeding effects, and a dark enough background to make the neon pop. Zoom in on edges and glow areas.
