SwitchLight is an AI service for relighting images and generating material data, built for artists, 3D designers, and visual content creators. It helps you match lighting between portraits, relight shots using HDRI environments, and extract PBR maps for more realistic rendering.
Key capabilities
- Copy Light: transfer a lighting setup from one portrait to another
- HDRI Relight: relight an image using panoramic HDRI environment maps
- PBR map extraction: generate normal, albedo, and roughness maps for physically based rendering workflows
Typical use cases
- Create consistent portrait lighting across a series without manual retouching
- Place a subject into different lighting conditions for compositing and look development
- Speed up texture and material prep for photorealistic 3D renders
Platform change
The SwitchLight web version will shut down on January 31, 2026. The service is moving to the Beeeble platform, where users will have access to improved PBR maps, more VFX passes, and video relighting features.
