Photo Weather Tool
Add rain, snow, fog, storms, sunshine or falling leaves to any photo.
Transform the mood of a photo with weather effects
Add rain, snow, fog, storm effects, autumn leaves, warm sunshine, wet-glass droplets and lightning to an existing photograph. Start with a preset, then fine-tune the atmosphere with controls for intensity, wind, fog, darkness and colour temperature.
Add weather effects in four steps
Choose a photograph, pick a weather style, adjust the atmosphere and compare the result with the original before downloading.
Choose a photo
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
Pick the weather
Choose Rain, Heavy Rain, Snow, Blizzard, Fog, Storm, Autumn Leaves or Warm Sunshine.
Fine-tune the scene
Adjust intensity, particle size, wind, fog, darkness and colour temperature.
Compare & download
Check the edit against the original photo, then download the finished weather image.
Build your own weather scene
Use presets as a starting point, then combine individual controls to make the weather lighter, heavier, warmer, colder or more dramatic.
What can you create?
Match the weather effect to the photograph
Rain, wet glass and cooler colour tones can work well with roads, pavements, traffic and night lighting.
Fog, mist and soft snow can add depth when the original scene already has open space and distant layers.
Keep particles away from the face where possible and use the weather to support the subject rather than hide it.
Storm presets work best when rain, darkening and lightning are balanced rather than all used at maximum.
Falling leaves work especially well with parks, paths, trees and warm-toned outdoor photographs.
A gentle warm shift can help golden-hour, holiday and lifestyle images without making skin or skies look unnatural.
Tips for more believable weather effects
A dark storm effect will usually look more convincing on an overcast image than on a brightly lit midday photograph.
Smaller, softer particles can feel more distant, while larger rain or snow elements appear closer to the camera.
Use the original-view control while editing so you can see whether the effect improves the mood without overpowering the photograph.
Ways to use the Photo Weather Tool
Edit without changing your original photo
The standard Photo Weather Tool is designed to create the weather effect in your browser and produce a separate edited image for download. Your original photograph remains unchanged while you experiment with different weather settings.
The basic tool does not need to permanently store the uploaded photograph in order to create the effect. Before sharing the final image publicly, check the photograph for visible personal information, addresses, number plates or other details.
