How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose any photo with visible sky area. Outdoor photos, landscapes, portraits, and architecture work best. The AI can detect skies in any lighting condition.

    Expect: Simple sky changes: 20-30 seconds. Complex dramatic skies: 45-60 seconds and may need refinements for perfect lighting match.

  2. Describe what you want

    THIS IS THE KEY STEP. Type exactly what sky you want: 'change to bright blue sky with white clouds', 'add dramatic sunset with orange and pink colors', 'replace with stormy dark clouds'. Be specific about colors, weather, and mood. No selection needed.

    Tip: Mention specific sky types like 'golden hour sunset', 'deep blue clear sky', or 'dramatic storm clouds' for best results

  3. Review the result

    Check if the new sky looks natural and matches the lighting of your photo. The AI automatically adjusts shadows and lighting to match the new sky conditions.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    OPTIONAL. Use markers only if the AI replaced more than just the sky (like distant mountains or buildings). Most sky changes work perfectly with description alone.

    Tip: Markers help protect specific areas if the AI accidentally changes objects you want to keep.

If something looks off

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

Why: The AI might have detected sky in areas where you wanted to keep the original background.

Try: Tap markers on areas you want to protect, then regenerate with the same sky description
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'keep this area unchanged.' Use them around buildings, trees, or people you want to preserve.

New sky doesn't match the lighting in my photo

Why: The sky type might not match the original lighting conditions of your scene.

Try: Try 'change to [sky type] with lighting that matches the scene' for better integration
Try This →

Tip: Mention lighting conditions like 'soft morning light' or 'bright midday sun' to match your photo's original lighting.

Sky colors look too artificial or oversaturated

Why: The sky description might be too dramatic for a natural look.

Try: Use descriptions like 'natural blue sky' or 'subtle sunset colors' for more realistic results
Try This →

Tip: Add words like 'natural', 'soft', or 'realistic' to get more believable sky replacements.

Sky replacement cut off parts of buildings or trees

Why: The AI might have difficulty distinguishing complex edges from the sky.

Try: Use markers to outline the edges of objects you want to preserve, then regenerate
Try This →

Tip: Mark around tree branches, building edges, or other detailed areas before generating for cleaner results.

The new sky doesn't show enough variation or detail

Why: The description might be too simple for the dramatic effect you want.

Try: Be more specific: 'add dramatic sunset with layers of orange, pink and purple clouds'
Try This →

Tip: Describe specific cloud types, color gradients, and details for more interesting sky replacements.
