How it works

  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 sun flare results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple sun flare effects: 10-20 seconds. Complex ray patterns with multiple light sources: may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe the sun flare you want

    Type your instruction: 'add warm sun flare from the upper right with soft golden rays' or 'add bright lens flare in the top left corner with natural glow.' Be specific about position (upper left, top right, corner), warmth (golden, warm, bright white), and style (soft glow, lens flare, sun rays). No marking needed—the AI understands light placement.

    Tip: Include intensity: 'with subtle glow' for gentle warmth or 'with intense rays' for dramatic effect

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Warm golden hour glow add warm sun flare from the upper right with soft golden rays and gentle lens glow
    Subtle backlight effect add soft sun glow behind the subject with subtle warm backlight and gentle halo
    Dramatic sun rays add bright sun flare in top left corner with dramatic radiating rays and intense golden light
    Natural lens flare add realistic lens flare from the upper edge with natural optical artifacts and warm glow
    2 more prompts
    Sunset flare with orange warmth add sunset sun flare with deep orange-gold color and soft atmospheric glow
    Bright white sunburst add bright white sun flare with starburst pattern and clean crisp rays
  3. Generate and review the effect

    Click Generate and watch as AI adds realistic sun flare with proper glow, warmth, and ray patterns. Check the flare position and intensity at full zoom.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the sun flare should appear?

No! Just describe the position: 'add sun flare from the upper right' or 'add sun glow in the top left corner.' The AI understands directional placement.

How do I add sun flare to photos for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'add warm sun flare from the upper right with soft golden rays.' The AI will generate realistic sun flare effects with natural glow, rays, and warmth in 10-20 seconds. It's completely free to try with no account required.

Can I control the warmth and color of the sun flare?

Yes. Specify color: 'warm golden sun flare' for golden hour warmth, 'bright white sun flare' for crisp daylight, or 'orange sunset flare' for dramatic sunset tones. The AI adjusts color temperature to match your description.

What's the difference between sun flare and lens flare?

Sun flare is the general warm glow and rays from sun, while lens flare specifically includes optical artifacts like hexagons, streaks, and rainbow patterns from camera lens elements. Use 'lens flare with optical artifacts' for the camera lens effect.
