How it works

  1. Upload your nighttime photo

    Drop your night or dark image into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Best results with nighttime outdoor scenes where you can see the subject but it's clearly dark. The AI will brighten and add daylight.

    Expect: Simple conversions (add bright sky): 25 seconds. Complex transformations (full day lighting, shadows): 30-35 seconds and may need refinement.
  2. Describe the daytime scene you want

    Type your instruction: 'convert to bright daytime with clear blue sky' or 'transform to sunny day scene with natural daylight.' Specify what makes it day—bright sky, sunlight, natural shadows. No marking needed—the AI understands night-to-day conversion.

    Tip: Mention specific day elements: 'blue sky', 'sunshine', 'daylight' tells the AI what to create.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Basic night to bright day convert this nighttime scene to bright daytime with clear blue sky and sunshine
    Sunny midday conversion transform to sunny midday scene with bright overhead sunlight and blue sky
    Soft morning daylight convert to gentle morning daylight with soft sun and pastel sky
    Afternoon golden light transform to late afternoon daylight with warm golden sun
    3 more prompts
    Overcast daytime convert to overcast daytime with diffused natural light and gray-blue sky
    Clear summer day transform to bright clear summer day with vivid blue sky and strong sunlight
    Natural daylight no shadows convert to even natural daylight with blue sky, minimal harsh shadows
  3. Generate and review

    AI brightens the scene, replaces dark sky with blue day sky, and adjusts lighting to look like daytime. Check that shadows fall naturally for daylight and the overall brightness matches midday or afternoon.

  4. Refine the daytime effect if needed

    If the sky needs to be brighter or shadows adjusted, regenerate: 'make it brighter like sunny midday' or 'add more natural daylight.' This is optional—many conversions work on first try.

    Tip: Specify time of day: 'bright noon' vs 'soft morning light' creates different daytime moods.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or scene doesn't look like daytime

Why: Night-to-day is complex. The AI may not have brightened enough or created proper daytime lighting.

Try: Be more emphatic: 'make this look like bright sunny midday, completely transform from night to day'

Tip: Describe the full transformation. 'Night to day' is clearer than just 'brighten.'

Sky is brighter but lighting still looks like night

Why: The AI brightened the sky but didn't adjust subject lighting or add proper daytime shadows.

Try: Try: 'convert entire scene to daytime with full daylight on all subjects and natural day shadows'
Artificial lights (lamps/windows) still glowing

Why: The AI didn't turn off night light sources. Daytime photos don't show glowing lamps.

Try: Specify: 'convert to daytime with all artificial lights turned off, natural sunlight only'
Colors look washed out or unnatural

Why: Extreme brightening can shift colors. Night photos have different color balance than day.

Try: Try: 'convert to daytime while preserving natural color saturation' or adjust colors separately after
Some dark areas didn't brighten

Why: Deep shadows in night photos may resist conversion. Some areas may stay darker than expected.

Try: Try: 'brighten all areas to full daylight, eliminate all dark shadows' for more aggressive conversion
Result looks too bright or overexposed

Why: Conversion from very dark to day can over-brighten. The AI may have been too aggressive.

Try: Specify gentler conversion: 'convert to overcast daytime' or 'soft morning light' instead of 'bright sunny day'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark anything before converting to daytime?

No! Just describe the daytime look: 'convert to bright daytime with blue sky' or 'transform to sunny day.' The AI handles the entire night-to-day transformation automatically. No marking needed.

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

Upload your nighttime image to EditThisPic and describe the day scene you want: 'transform to bright daytime' or 'convert to sunny midday.' The AI brightens the scene, replaces dark sky with blue day sky, and adds natural daylight. Free to use, no account needed.

Will this work on very dark night photos?

It depends. Photos with some visible detail work best. Extremely dark photos where subjects are barely visible may not convert well—the AI can't create detail that doesn't exist. Night photos with street lights or some ambient light convert better.

Can I turn off street lamps and window lights?

Yes! Specify: 'convert to daytime with all artificial lights turned off.' The AI will remove glowing lamps and lit windows since they shouldn't be visible in daytime. Or keep them for artistic effect by not mentioning it.

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

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