Sky Replacement
- Free to try, watermarked
- $100 a month for 1,000 images for clean output


What it does
How it behaves
Not a composite. The model relights the scene to match the new sky, adjusting lighting, shadows and reflections across the whole photograph rather than pasting a new sky above the roofline.
- Relights the scene instead of compositing a sky on top
- Adjusts shadows and reflections to match the new light
- Six skies, from clear blue to twilight
- Up to 4K output on Pro quality

FAQ
Questions, answered
Output is watermarked by default and free to try — you pay only Replicate for the generation, on your own API token. Replicate bills compute per run at their published rates, so what a run costs is between you and Replicate.
The watermark is what makes the models free to try. You can run any of them as many times as you like, see exactly what they produce, and decide whether the quality is good enough for your work before paying us anything.
Every model takes an optional watermark_remove_token input. Supply a token and the output comes back clean. A token is $100 USD a month and covers 1,000 images in that month. Ask through the contact form and we will issue one.
No. The models are published publicly on Replicate. You need a Replicate account to run them, and you pay Replicate for the compute. You only need to contact us if you want the watermark removed, volume pricing, or a custom model.
Yes — Replicate's. Every model is callable over Replicate's HTTP API or their Python, JavaScript and other client libraries, with the same inputs you see in the playground. There is no separate PropLabs API to sign up for.
