Control exactly how smoke looks: color, density, shape, and direction. Pixelcut’s AI listens to your description to craft a custom effect. Want wispy white fog at sunrise or a burst of neon smoke behind a dancer? Just describe it: our tool can add multiple misty clouds, plumes of any color, or any style you name. Run a few prompts to experiment. With this creative control, your photo can have any smoke or fog effect you imagine, from a subtle haze to a full storm.

Customizable Smoke Styles
