Soft focus is a photographic technique that reduces the sharpness of fine details to create a dreamy, misty, or romantic image. It works by diffusing light to create a gentle glow around subjects, which is especially flattering for portraits as it can soften skin texture and blemishes.
To add a soft focus effect, first upload the portrait you want to edit. Then, write a simple text prompt describing the look you want, such as 'apply a soft focus effect with a warm glow.' The AI will then process your image and apply the effect, giving you a downloadable high-resolution photo.
Soft focus is not the same as an out-of-focus image. A simple blur makes the entire image or parts of it indistinct. Soft focus, however, is an intentional effect that reduces contrast and creates a glowing halo around highlights while keeping the main subject fundamentally in focus, resulting in a dreamy and clear image.
Portraits are the most common subject for the soft focus effect because it creates a flattering and gentle look by smoothing skin tones. It's also great for wedding photos to add romance, and for nature or flower photography to create a tranquil, ethereal feeling.
Yes, you can guide the intensity and style of the effect through your text prompt. For a more subtle result, you can use phrases like 'a light soft focus.' For a stronger effect, you could describe it as 'a strong dreamy haze.' The AI will interpret your description to adjust the final look.
Our AI soft focus tool is free to try. After using your initial free credits, you can purchase more to continue editing your photos. All downloads are high-resolution and watermark-free.
