What kinds of shadows can the AI remove?

It works on face shadows, harsh side lighting, drop shadows on backgrounds, and shadows cast by objects. Results vary depending on how heavy the shadow is and the original photo quality.

Does it work on portraits and product photos?

Yes — it handles both. Whether you have a shadow across someone's face or a dark patch behind a product, you can describe what clean lighting should look like and the AI adjusts accordingly.

Is this tool free to use?

You get free credits when you sign up for Chroma Studio, and you can use those to remove shadows from photos at no cost. No credit card required to get started.

Do I need to know photo editing to use this?

No. Just upload your photo and type a short description of how you want it to look. The AI takes it from there.

Will my photo look natural after shadow removal?

The AI aims to fix the lighting without making the image look over-processed. Writing a specific prompt — like 'soft, even daylight' — helps get a more realistic result.

Is my photo kept private?

Chroma Studio does not share or sell your uploaded photos. Your images are only used to generate your result.

What file formats are supported for upload and download?

You can upload JPG or PNG files. Downloads are available in high-quality PNG or JPG format.

How long does it take to process?

Most images are processed in under a minute. You don't need to wait long or refresh the page.

Can I remove shadows from a photo taken indoors with bad lighting?

Yes, indoor shots with uneven or harsh lighting are a common use case. Describe the look you want and the AI will work to even it out.
