How to Add a Shadow to Your Image

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Start by uploading the photo you want to enhance. This can be a product shot, a portrait, or any image with a subject that needs a shadow.

  2. 2

    Describe the shadow

    In the text box, tell the AI what kind of shadow you want. For example, 'add a drop shadow' or 'create a natural shadow on the surface'.

  3. 3

    Generate the shadow

    Click the generate button and let the AI work its magic. It will analyze your photo and prompt to create a realistic shadow in seconds.

  4. 4

    Download your image

    Your new, more dynamic image is ready. Download the high-resolution PNG file and use it for your website, social media, or any other project.

Transform flat images into dynamic, three-dimensional visuals. By adding a realistic shadow, you can make your subject pop and appear grounded in its environment. This is perfect for e-commerce product photos, making items like shoes or furniture look more tangible and professional. It's also great for portraits, where a well-placed shadow can add a sense of drama and realism. Our AI analyzes your image to create a shadow that matches the existing lighting, ensuring a natural and convincing result every single time.

Take control of your image’s lighting by simply describing the shadow you envision. Our conversational AI allows you to specify the type of shadow you need. Ask for a "soft drop shadow to the left" for a subtle effect, or a "long, dramatic shadow on the ground" for a more stylized look. This text-based approach gives you creative freedom without needing to learn complex tools or adjust confusing sliders. Your words guide the AI to produce the exact effect your image needs to stand out.
