Day to night
Upload a daytime exterior and get it back at night, with the porch and wall lights on and a glow in the windows that show a room. You also get your original photo and the disclosure wording for where you post it.

A real render. Drag to compare. The two lanterns by the garage are on, light shows through the closed shutters, and the house number still reads 187. The roof, the garage door and the shrubs did not move.
Features
Not just an altered JPEG.
We find the porch lanterns, wall lights and garage lights mounted on your house before the render, and ask for only those to be switched on, with no landscape lights, string lights or lamps your house does not have.
We ask for a warm glow only in windows that show a room, and none in windows that show nothing or in garage door windows. You can also keep every window dark.
A night edit redraws the whole photo, small text included. We read the house number on your photo and on the render, and a render that changed it is run again.
Every render is compared with your photo. One that moved the building or reframed the shot is thrown out and redone before you see it.
You get the daytime original to show beside the night photo, and the disclosure wording for the MLS photo description, the public remarks and print.
Upload, pick Night, and the render usually comes back in about a minute. Renders our checks throw away are run again automatically.
How it works
JPEG or PNG. Free to try: 2 renders without an account, 1 more when you sign in. Your original is never used for training.
Renders that move your framing or blow out the windows are discarded before you see them.
The edit and your original, in MLS order, with disclosure wording for each place you post it and a record of what changed.
Why our night photos hold up
A night edit redraws the whole photo and switches lights on. We check the house kept its shape, and ask for only the lights it has.
Your photoNightSame house
We find the lights mounted on your house before the render and ask for only those to be switched on. Every night render is compared with your photo, and one that moved the building or reframed the shot is redone before you see it.
Real edits of the same photo. The middle one is a sky replacement from the same AI model, made before we checked numbers; the right one is our dusk render.
House numbers
A night edit redraws small text along with everything else. We read the house number and any signs on your photo and on every render, and run it again if they differ.
Digitally AlteredOriginal photo: duskly.ai/o/…Disclosure
A night photo shows the house at a time it was not photographed, so we treat it as digitally altered and disclose it by default. You get a label you can put on the photo, the remarks wording for where you post it, and, once the listing is paid, a page with your daytime original to link to.
Primary sources
Rule number, quoted text, and the date we last checked it. Where a rulebook is members-only, the row says so instead of guessing.
“Twilight photos are acceptable as long as lighting is not added where it does not exist and sunset/sunrise is a true reflection of where the sun rises and sets”
A licensee publishing a digitally altered listing image must include a conspicuous statement on or adjacent to the image, and a link, URL or QR code to a publicly accessible page showing the original, unaltered image.
We have not read the rules of most other MLSs. Some are behind a member login and some we have not reviewed yet, so we quote nothing here and will not paraphrase them from secondary sources. If you belong to one, check your MLS’s own rulebook before publishing.
A day to night edit moves the photo to full night, well after dark. The sky turns a deep midnight blue, the house falls into night shadow, the lights mounted on the house come on, and the windows that show a room get a warm glow. The house itself does not change: same roofline, same siding, same driveway, same plants.
That last part is the point. A night photo that adds a lantern, lights a window onto an empty wall or quietly tidies the garden shows a house that is not the one for sale. So the light is the only thing that should be different, and the original goes next to it.
At dusk most of the house is still lit by the sky. At night the light comes from the house itself, so every fixture and every window has to be right. An image model left to itself will happily hang a second lantern by the door, light a porch ceiling that has no light, or make every pane of a garage door glow. We look for the fixtures your house has before the render and ask for only those to be switched on.
Small text suffers too. The whole photo is redrawn, so a house number can come back with a digit changed. We read the number on your photo and on every render, and run it again when they differ.
The rule we could find that names twilight photos is Stellar MLS’s, and its condition is the same one we work to: lighting is not added where it does not exist, and the sunset is where the sun really sets. We read switching on a porch lantern your house has as lighting a fixture that exists, not adding lighting; Stellar does not say. It still shows the house at a time it was not photographed, so treat it as a digitally altered photo: disclose it and show the daytime original alongside it.
