How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your outdoor photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best with outdoor scenes where sky is visible. Weather changes are most effective when sky takes up at least 20% of the image.

Expect: Simple sky changes (sunny to cloudy): 25-35 seconds. Complex weather effects (add rain, fog, or snow): may need 2-3 refinements for realistic atmosphere.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'add heavy rain with dark storm clouds' or 'change to bright sunny day with clear blue sky.' Be specific about weather elements: cloud coverage, precipitation, lighting mood. No need to select the sky - the AI understands 'rainy weather' and transforms sky, lighting, and atmosphere.

Tip: Include mood/lighting details like 'dramatic dark storm' or 'soft overcast diffused light' for more atmospheric results

Generate and review

Click Generate and the AI changes sky, adds weather effects (rain/snow/fog), adjusts lighting and shadows to match new conditions. Check the result at full zoom to verify weather looks natural and lighting is consistent across the scene.
Refine with markers if needed

If certain areas don't match the new weather (like people still lit for sunny day in a rainy scene), or weather effects need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate with refinement instructions. This is optional but helpful for complex atmospheric changes.

Tip: Weather changes affect the entire scene. Expect to refine lighting consistency between sky and ground elements.

If something looks off

AI changed sky but lighting on people/objects doesn't match new weather

Why: The AI changed atmospheric elements but didn't fully adjust the lighting and shadows on subjects to match new conditions. This is common with dramatic weather changes.

Try:

Add to your prompt: 'adjust lighting on people and objects to match [weather] conditions' or use markers on subjects that need lighting adjustment

Try This →

Tip: Weather changes are complex. Sky may transform but ground-level lighting often needs separate refinement.

Weather effects look fake or pasted on

Why: The AI applied weather elements (rain, fog, snow) without proper blending or integration with the scene's depth and perspective.

Try:

Regenerate asking for 'natural-looking [weather] with realistic depth and perspective integration' or specify 'subtle natural [weather]' for less dramatic application

Try This →

Tip: Include 'keep natural texture and detail' in your prompt to avoid over-processing.

Rain or snow is too heavy or blocks the scene

Why: The AI interpreted 'heavy rain' too literally and obscured important scene elements with excessive weather effects.

Try: Use 'moderate' or 'light' instead of 'heavy,' or regenerate with 'reduce the rain intensity while keeping weather mood'

Try This →

Tip: Each generation uses different AI seeds, so regenerating often produces a better variation.

New sky doesn't match the horizon or has visible seams

Why: The AI's sky replacement didn't properly blend with the horizon line, especially in scenes with complex skylines or trees.

Try:

Tap markers along the problem horizon areas and regenerate, or try 'seamlessly blend new [weather] sky with existing horizon'

Try This →

Tip: Zoom in and mark just the edges that need fixing for a seamless blend.

Fog or mist looks like solid gray overlay

Why: The AI applied fog as a uniform layer instead of creating depth variation where distant objects are more obscured than near ones.

Try:

Regenerate with 'add atmospheric fog with proper depth - thicker in distance, clearer in foreground' to guide proper fog perspective

Try This →

Tip: Each generation uses different AI seeds, so regenerating often produces a better variation.

Colors shifted dramatically with weather change

Why: The AI changed the overall color palette to match the new weather mood, affecting clothing and other elements that shouldn't change color.

Try:

Add to prompt: 'change weather while keeping people, clothing, and objects their original colors' or use markers to protect specific elements

Try This →

Tip: Specify the exact colors you want, like 'warm natural tones' or 'cool blue tint.'

Weather changed but shadows still point wrong direction

Why: The AI changed sky and lighting but didn't adjust shadow directions to match new light source position.

Try:

This is very difficult to fix automatically. For best results, choose weather changes that match your original lighting direction (sunny to overcast is easier than sunny to different-direction sunset)

Try This →

Tip: Mention shadow direction explicitly, like 'shadow falling to the right,' for realistic results.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the sky before describing weather changes?

No! For most edits, just describe the target weather: 'add heavy rain with storm clouds' or 'change to bright sunny day.' The AI understands weather descriptions and identifies sky, atmosphere, and lighting automatically. Only use markers when specific areas didn't transform properly or when you want to protect certain elements from changing.

How do I change weather in photos for free?

Use EditThisPic's free AI weather changer. Upload your outdoor photo, describe the weather you want (like 'add rain with storm clouds' or 'change to sunny clear day'), and the AI transforms sky, lighting, and atmosphere in 30-45 seconds. No Photoshop skills needed, no subscriptions, no watermarks. Perfect for creative projects, event photos, or property marketing.

Will lighting and shadows adjust to match the new weather?

The AI attempts to adjust overall lighting mood to match new weather conditions. However, dramatic changes (like sunny to rainy) may not perfectly adjust all shadows and lighting on people/objects. For best results, expect to refine lighting consistency with a second pass or markers. Sky-only changes (sunny to cloudy) are easier than adding precipitation effects.

Can I add specific weather effects like fog, snow, or lightning?

Yes. Be specific in your prompt: 'add thick fog with reduced visibility,' 'add light snowfall with winter atmosphere,' or 'add dramatic lightning bolts in storm clouds.' The AI can generate various weather effects. More dramatic effects (lightning, heavy snow) may need refinement for realistic results.

Which weather changes are easiest vs. most difficult?

Easier: Sunny to cloudy/overcast (just sky change), cloudy to sunny (brighten and clear sky). Moderate: Add golden hour lighting (warm color shift). Difficult: Add rain/snow/fog (requires atmospheric effects), add lightning (dramatic element insertion), change lighting direction (shadows conflict). Difficult changes usually need 2-3 refinements with markers for realistic results.

Can I use this to improve property photos taken in bad weather?

Absolutely. Real estate agents use this to show properties in ideal weather conditions. Transform overcast gray day photos to bright sunny versions to showcase outdoor spaces and make listings more appealing. Note: some MLS platforms may have disclosure requirements for edited photos - check your local regulations.
