One photo. More ways to light it. Add soft light to a portrait, find a new mood for a still life, or let light move across your image. Relight makes photo lighting a hands-on creative process: see the effect, refine it, and keep the light you love. START WITH A LOOK Explore 11 lighting looks organized by purpose: essentials, portraits, mood and light patterns. From Softbox, Window and Golden to Duotone, Blinds and Neon, find a starting point for your photo. Every look can be refined. MAKE EVERY LIGHT YOUR OWN Move light points directly on your photo. Adjust brightness, color, reach and distance. Combine up to four lights with ambient illumination. Hold to see the original; release to return to your edit. STILL PHOTO. MOVING LIGHT. Explore 5 film styles, from a gradual reveal to alternating lights and moving window light. Adjust the movement, then preview and export a four- or six-second looping light film. Light changes the atmosphere; it does not animate the subject into new actions. KEEP THE DETAILS Crop and rotate before editing. Zoom in to inspect your result. Keep saved photos and films in your library, ready to view and share. High-resolution photo export reaches up to 4096 pixels on the long edge, limited by your source image, without upscaling. YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS No account required. Photo processing happens on your device without uploading your images or buying generation credits. Made for iPhone and iPad, in English and Simplified Chinese. START FREE. UNLOCK ONCE. Use Softbox and single-light editing for free, with photo exports up to 1200 pixels on the long edge. Preview other looks, multiple lights and films before a one-time purchase unlocks their export. The features included in this purchase require no renewal or per-use fees. Previous paid-app customers can restore complete Studio access without buying again. Start with a sharp, evenly lit portrait or still life. Results depend on the lighting and detail in your source photo. Relight cannot recover hidden detail or fully remove strong shadows already in an image.

Edit only the part of the photo you choose. RawMask Studio is a RAW photo editor built around masks: pick a detected subject or draw your own mask, then change the light, color, detail and focus of just that area while the rest of the image stays untouched. It opens RAW and ProRAW files as well as everyday JPEG and HEIC photos, and every edit happens right on your iPhone. MASKS FOR SELECTIVE EDITS - Automatic masks: on-device detection finds subjects such as people, cars and animals and turns them into ready-to-edit masks - Manual masks: radial, linear (gradient), brush and rectangle - Refine any mask with the Add and Subtract brushes - Soften the edge with Feather for smooth, natural transitions - Give every mask its own light, color, detail and focus adjustments RAW, PRORAW, JPEG AND HEIC - Pick photos straight from your Photos library with the system picker - Edit RAW and ProRAW captures with the same tools as regular photos A CLEAR, STEP-BY-STEP WORKFLOW - Frame: crop, straighten, rotate, aspect ratios and zoom - Light: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks - Color: temperature, tint, vibrance and saturation - Detail: texture, clarity, dehaze, sharpness and noise reduction - Focus: background blur with strength, range, feather and bokeh - Effects: vignette, grain and fade - Reorder or hide steps in Editor options to match the way you work COMPARE AND REUSE - Hold to Compare to check before and after at any moment - Save whole-photo adjustments as a Preset and apply it to another photo SAVE WITHOUT LOSING THE ORIGINAL - Save edit to Photos is non-destructive: the original stays intact and you can revert the edit in Photos anytime - Save a copy to Photos to keep the edited version as a new photo - Export as JPEG, HEIF or TIFF through the share sheet PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-in and no ads - Editing and subject detection run entirely on device, so your photos are never uploaded - Free, with no in-app purchases Open a photo, pick a mask and make one part of it shine.
