What is Relight?
Clipdrop Relight uses AI to adjust lighting in existing images, allowing users to experiment with different highlights, shadows, and moods. The official website lists portraits, selfies, and paintings as use cases, with the core workflow involving uploading an image, moving the light source, and observing the changes.
Rather than globally increasing brightness or contrast, the product focuses on introducing controllable light sources into the scene. Generating lighting and shadows is an image-editing process and should not be treated as the original shooting light; it’s necessary to verify that the subject’s skin tone, highlight areas, and shadows align with the intended expressive goals.
The descriptions of background removal, object cleanup, super-resolution, and other features on the page refer to the standalone Clipdrop tool, not to Relight itself performing these tasks. The publicly available materials currently do not provide a complete breakdown of Relight’s free usage limits, account requirements, or export caps; therefore, this entry does not apply the free‑tier promotions of other tools.
