Frequently asked questions

How do I add a neon outline to a photo?
Upload your photo. The main subject is detected automatically and traced with a glowing outline in the color you choose.
Why is the background darker?
Neon reads best against dark surroundings. Lower the background darkness slider to keep more of the original brightness.
Can I change the glow color?
Yes. Pick any color for the outline and its glow.
What kinds of photos work best?
Photos with one clear main subject, such as a person, pet, or product, give the cleanest results. The subject is found automatically, so no prompt or selection is needed.
What file formats can I export?
You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
