AI Studio Lighting for Portraits - Relight Photos Online

FaceVia AI Studio Lighting lets you reshape the mood of a portrait without setting up another shoot. Upload a clear portrait, choose automatic light or a direction such as left, right, top, or bottom, and optionally describe the softness, color, contrast, or studio mood you want. The IC-Light workflow is designed to preserve recognizable facial features and the original scene while giving the image a more intentional headshot or editorial finish.

How It Works

1

Upload a Portrait

Choose a sharp, well-exposed photo where the face is visible. A single-person headshot or upper-body portrait is usually the easiest starting point.

2

Choose a Direction

Use Auto when you want a balanced result, or select Left, Right, Top, or Bottom to establish where the key light should come from.

3

Describe the Mood

Add a short prompt such as “soft window light with gentle shadows” or “clean high-key studio lighting.” Mention only the details that matter most.

4

Review the Result

Generate the relit portrait, compare it with the original, and download the version that fits your profile, concept, or headshot use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Studio Lighting change?

It uses the IC-Light image relighting workflow to adjust the apparent lighting of a portrait. The goal is to change light direction and mood while keeping the subject and important scene details recognizable.

What do the lighting direction options mean?

None lets the model choose a general lighting setup. Left, Right, Top, and Bottom guide the position of the primary light source relative to the subject. The exact shadow shape still depends on the source image and prompt.

Do I need to write a prompt?

No. A default studio-lighting instruction is applied when the prompt is blank. A prompt is helpful when you want to specify soft or hard light, warm or cool color, contrast, catchlights, or a particular studio mood.

What prompt should I try first?

Start with a compact description such as “soft professional headshot lighting, gentle cheek shadows, neutral background, natural skin detail.” Avoid stacking unrelated edits when your main goal is lighting.

Will it preserve my face?

The workflow is intended to preserve recognizable facial features and expression, but no generative edit is perfectly identical. Clear, well-lit source photos generally give the most consistent results.

Can I keep the original background?

The tool is focused on relighting rather than replacing the scene. Include “preserve the original background” in your prompt when the background is important, while remembering that small changes can still occur.

What kind of photo works best?

Use a clear portrait with a visible face, reasonable resolution, and minimal motion blur. Single-subject headshots and upper-body photos are usually more predictable than crowded scenes or heavily shadowed images.

How much does Studio Lighting cost?

The tool uses a fixed credit cost supplied by FaceVia AI’s backend. The current credit label is shown in the tool interface before you generate, and the backend remains the source of truth.

What happens if the provider fails?

The authenticated backend tracks the provider task. When WaveSpeed reports a failed task or no usable output, the failure path refunds the associated consumption record once.

Can I process multiple portraits at once?

The current tool handles one portrait per generation. This makes it easier to adjust the direction and prompt for each person and review the result individually.
