How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Choose any photo with visible sky—landscapes, cityscapes, beaches, buildings, portraits with sky backgrounds. Works best with photos that have at least some sky showing. Daytime photos transform most dramatically, but overcast or evening photos work too.

    Expect: Simple sunset addition: 20-30 seconds. The AI works quickly since adding sunset effects is straightforward and doesn't require complex manipulation.
  2. Describe your sunset

    Type what kind of sunset effect you want. Be specific about colors like 'warm orange and pink sunset', intensity like 'dramatic vibrant sunset' or 'soft pastel sunset', and cloud features. The AI understands descriptions like 'golden hour sunset with orange sky' or 'pink and purple twilight sunset' or 'fiery red and orange sunset with dramatic clouds'. No need to mark the sky—AI detects it automatically.

    Tip: Mention cloud details for more dramatic results: 'sunset with wispy clouds catching pink light' creates more visual interest than just 'orange sunset'.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic beautiful sunset for any photo Warm golden hour sunset with orange and pink sky, soft natural lighting
    Bold, eye-catching sunset for impact Vibrant orange and red sunset with dramatic clouds catching the light
    Gentle romantic sunset aesthetic Soft pastel sunset with pink, peach, and lavender colors in the sky

    Instagram-worthy colorful sunset Pink and purple sunset with silhouetted clouds and warm horizon glow
    Dramatic atmospheric sunset with contrast Moody orange and gray sunset with storm clouds breaking to reveal golden light
  3. Review the sunset effect

    Check that the sunset colors look natural, the lighting on the landscape matches the sky, and the overall warmth feels realistic. Make sure the sunset doesn't look overly artificial or oversaturated. If adjustments are needed, try different color descriptions and regenerate.

  4. Download Your Sunset Photo

    Save your enhanced photo with the beautiful sunset in high resolution. Perfect for social media posts, real estate listings, travel blogs, or printing.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the sky?

No! Just describe the sunset you want and AI automatically detects the sky in your photo and adds the sunset effect. The AI understands where the sky is versus the landscape, buildings, or other elements.

Can I add sunset to photos taken at any time of day?

Yes! Daytime photos with blue skies work great and show the most dramatic transformation. Overcast photos can become stunning sunsets. Evening or dusk photos can be enhanced with warmer, more vibrant sunset colors. Morning photos can be given a sunset makeover too—though lighting direction may be slightly inconsistent.

Will the sunset affect the rest of my photo?

Yes, in a good way! When you add a sunset sky, the AI typically adjusts the overall lighting and warmth of the entire scene to match the sunset atmosphere. This creates more realistic results where the landscape, buildings, or subjects are lit by warm sunset light. If you only want the sky changed, specify 'change only the sky'.

What's the difference between golden hour and sunset?

Golden hour is the period shortly before sunset (or after sunrise) when light is warm and soft but the sun is still above the horizon. Sunset is when the sun is at or below the horizon with more dramatic colors. Describe 'golden hour' for softer warm light, or 'sunset' for more vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples.

Can I add a visible sun to the sunset?

Yes! Include 'sun visible near the horizon' or 'sun setting on horizon with warm glow' in your description. The AI can add a sun disk to the sunset scene. For best results, mention where you want it: 'sun low on left side of horizon' gives more control over placement.

How do I get dramatic vs subtle sunset effects?

Use descriptive language to control intensity. Dramatic: 'vibrant', 'intense', 'fiery', 'bold', 'vivid sunset colors'. Subtle: 'soft', 'gentle', 'pastel', 'natural', 'delicate sunset'. The AI responds to these intensity cues and adjusts the sunset accordingly.
