AI Sky Replacement
Change the sky in any photo in one click — the AI finds the sky automatically (no brushing) and replaces it with the one you pick from a visual gallery: sunset, golden hour, dramatic storm, starry night, northern lights and more. Generated to match your photo's lighting, or describe any sky in your own words.
Replacing a sky swaps the dull or blown-out sky in a photo for a dramatic one — sunset, golden hour, storm clouds, or starry night. EditClips.online's AI detects the sky automatically, so there is no brushing or masking: upload the photo, pick a sky from the visual gallery or describe your own, and the AI blends it in with matched lighting along the skyline. Download the result when it renders.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I have to select the sky manually?
- No — by default the AI segments the sky automatically and replaces only that region; buildings, trees, and people stay untouched. If you want control (e.g. replace only part of the sky, or include a reflection), choose 'Refine the sky region' and brush it yourself.
- Does the new sky match the lighting of the rest of the photo?
- The AI conditions the replacement on the surrounding image, so the new sky picks up the dominant color cast and time of day. If the blend feels off, try a preset closer to your photo's lighting (golden hour for warm scenes, clear blue for mid-day) — or generate multiple versions and pick the most natural one.
- What about trees, wires, or buildings in front of the sky?
- The automatic detection segments around foreground silhouettes, so they stay in place. Very fine details (thin branches, hair against the sky) can show slight softness at the boundary — the region-refine brush with a tighter selection helps there.
- How is this different from Photoshop or Luminar sky replacement?
- It runs in your browser — nothing to install, no subscription. And it's generative: instead of compositing a stock sky image, the AI draws a new sky to match your photo's perspective and lighting. Every run is a fresh sample, so you can generate variations until one fits.
- What photos work best?
- Any photo where some sky is visible — landscapes, travel shots, real-estate exteriors, drone photos. If the photo has no visible sky at all, the auto-detection will tell you instead of redrawing the whole image.
- Can I do this on a video?
- Not yet — image-only for now. Per-frame video sky replacement is on the roadmap; frame-to-frame flicker is the hard part.
