IC-Light V2 is an AI-powered image relighting model. Relight any image with customizable lighting direction. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

IC-Light is an AI-powered image relighting model that transforms the lighting of any photo with a simple text prompt. Change the direction, mood, and quality of light in your images — from dramatic side lighting to soft ambient glow — all without manual editing.

Why Choose This?

• Text-driven relighting Describe the lighting you want (e.g., “sunlight”, “soft studio light”, “golden hour”) and the model applies it naturally.

• Directional control Choose from five lighting directions — None, Left, Right, Top, Bottom — for precise control over light placement.

• Non-destructive transformation Preserves subject details, textures, and colors while only changing the lighting characteristics.

• Product-ready results Perfect for e-commerce, photography enhancement, and creative projects requiring consistent lighting.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload your image — drag and drop or paste a public URL.
2. Write your prompt — describe the lighting style you want (e.g., “sunlight”, “cinematic side lighting”, “soft diffused light”).
3. Select lighting direction — choose where the light comes from (Left, Right, Top, Bottom) or None for ambient.
4. Run — submit and download your relit image.

Best Use Cases

• E-commerce Photography — Standardize product lighting across catalogs without reshooting.
• Portrait Enhancement — Add flattering light to photos taken in poor lighting conditions.
• Creative Projects — Experiment with dramatic lighting for artistic effects.
• Real Estate — Brighten interior shots or add warm, inviting light to property photos.
• Social Media Content — Elevate everyday photos with professional-quality lighting.

Pro Tips

• Use specific lighting terms in your prompt for better results (e.g., “warm golden hour sunlight” vs. just “light”).
• Combine prompt and direction for maximum control — describe the quality while specifying the angle.
• For product shots, “Left” or “Right” directions often create appealing depth and dimension.
• Use “None” direction when you want the prompt to fully control lighting placement.
• Works best with clear subjects and well-defined edges.

Notes

• Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
• For best results, use high-quality source images with clear subjects.
• The model preserves original image resolution.
