Upload an image to get started
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.
Give an ordinary headshot a cleaner key light, softer shadows, or a more deliberate studio feel before using it on a profile or bio.
Refresh a creator portrait for social profiles, channel pages, newsletters, or personal websites without changing the person behind the image.
Explore side light, top light, and softer editorial moods while preparing a photography brief or mood board.
Test how a portrait may read with more shape and contrast before planning a retouching pass or a new photo session.
Create quick portrait directions for personal branding, lifestyle campaigns, and presentation concepts.
Improve a flat or unevenly lit portrait while keeping the original environment part of the composition.
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.
Use Auto when you want a balanced result, or select Left, Right, Top, or Bottom to establish where the key light should come from.
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.
Generate the relit portrait, compare it with the original, and download the version that fits your profile, concept, or headshot use.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
