Total Creative Control Over Your Look
Go beyond simple filters and take full command of your image's lighting. You can specify the direction, intensity, and quality of the light. Ask for a soft, flattering 'clamshell' lighting setup to brighten your features, or a 'rim light' to separate you from the background. You can even add a subtle catchlight to your eyes to bring them to life. This level of detail allows you to tailor your headshot to match specific roles, whether it's for a friendly sitcom character or a serious dramatic lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Upload your headshot and type a prompt describing how you want to fix the lighting. For example, you could say 'remove the harsh shadows on the face' or 'brighten the image and make the lighting even'.
Yes, you can be very specific in your prompt. For example, you can ask for the 'main light to come from the left and slightly above' or to 'add a hair light from behind to create separation from the background'.
A catchlight is the reflection of a light source in the eyes, which makes them look more alive and expressive. You can add one by simply including 'add a catchlight to the eyes' in your prompt.
It depends on the character type you want to convey. Commercial headshots often use soft, even lighting (like clamshell lighting), while dramatic headshots might use lighting with more contrast and shadow (like loop or short lighting). Our tool lets you create either style.
No, you don't need any technical knowledge. Just describe the look you want in plain language. Instead of knowing the term 'three-point lighting', you can just say 'make my face evenly lit with soft light from the front and a light on my hair from behind'.
Absolutely. This tool is perfect for creating clean and professional lighting for corporate or LinkedIn headshots. You can easily remove distracting shadows and ensure your face is the focus.
