Real output from the editor — drag to compare.
Landscape and real-estate photographers have a saying: you can plan everything except the sky. A flat white overcast sky drains the drama out of otherwise strong compositions, and waiting for golden hour is not always an option. Sky replacement fixes the one element you could not control at capture time.
Choose from a library of skies ranging from clear blue and fluffy cumulus to thunderstorms, golden hour, aurora, and the Milky Way. The AI finds the sky region in your photo, including tricky boundaries through tree branches and around rooftops, drops in the new sky with correct perspective, and then relights the foreground to match. That last step matters most: a sunset sky over midday-lit ground is the classic tell of a lazy sky swap, and it is what the relighting pass is there to address.
Use it for real-estate exteriors that need a blue sky, landscapes that deserved better weather, and creative night-sky composites. For changing the overall time of day rather than just the sky, the Time of Day tool shifts the entire scene's lighting.

Frequently asked questions
Does the rest of the photo change too?
The foreground gets a lighting and color-grade adjustment so it agrees with the new sky: warmer tones under a sunset, cooler and darker under a night sky. Without that pass, replaced skies look pasted on.
How does it handle trees and complex skylines?
The sky mask is computed at fine detail, so the new sky shows correctly through branches, railings, and gaps in architecture rather than being painted over them.
Will it work if the sky is blown out to pure white?
Yes, completely overexposed skies are the most common input. Because the original sky carries no usable detail, the replacement fully takes over that region.
Can I use a night sky on a daytime photo?
You can, and the foreground will be darkened and cooled to sell the effect. Extreme day-to-night conversions are creative edits rather than documentary ones, so expect a stylized rather than forensic result.
Can I try AI Sky Replacement for free?
Yes — every new account starts with 4 free credits, enough to run this tool once at Standard quality. No credit card required.
