Move beyond basic filters and take control of your photo's lighting. Our conversational AI allows you to specify the exact lens flare you want. Ask for a subtle sunburst in the corner, a warm anamorphic streak across the frame, or a soft halo around your subject. You can guide the position, color, and style of the light effect simply by describing it. This gives you the creative freedom to generate the perfect lighting that complements your photo's mood and composition, all through simple text.

Customizable Light Effects with a Prompt

One of the biggest challenges with photo effects is making them look real. Our AI lens flare generator is designed to integrate light effects into your images believably. The AI analyzes the existing light sources, shadows, and objects in your photo to place the flare in a way that appears natural. This process helps ensure the final effect looks like it was captured by the camera, not just added on top, giving you a high-quality result that enhances your original photograph without looking artificial.
