Do I need a photo and a written prompt?

No. You can use a photo on its own, a written description on its own, or a photo with extra direction. A photo provides the identity and scene reference. With words alone, the result is a new generated image. An empty form cannot generate.

Will the result keep the original subject?

The edit aims to retain the scene, face and pose while changing weather and related light. Compare facial features, clothing, object placement and building lines. AI can redraw details, so inspect the result before using it.

Which source photo should I choose?

Start with a sharp outdoor photo or a clear view through a window. Visible paving, glass or leaves give rain a surface to interact with. Avoid an image so dark that important details are already lost.

Does this make an animated rain video?

No. This page creates one still image. It can depict falling rain, droplets and wet reflections, but it does not animate the weather or reconstruct the real weather at a location.

What should I check before generating?

Each generation costs 8 YouArt credits. Check the credit cost shown beside the generation control and sign in when requested. Each generation produces one 1K square image. A new variation is a separate generation, so review the result before starting another.

How it works

Create with the Rain Filter in Three Steps

Step 1
Upload a photo or write a description
Start with a sharp outdoor photo or a clear view through a window. Visible paving, glass or leaves give rain a surface to interact with. Avoid an image so dark that important details are already lost. You can also describe a new image without uploading a photo.
Step 2
Choose the details and generate
Add optional direction for the look you want. With a photo and no words, the starting treatment is applied automatically. Review the displayed credit cost, sign in when prompted, and generate one square image.
Step 3
Review the details and download
Compare the result with your source and inspect small details at full size. Download the image you want. A changed prompt and another generation start a separate run.

What shapes the result

Rain Filter: Details to Look For

Rain that belongs in the scene

Fine streaks, droplets on exposed surfaces and a slight haze can make weather visible without burying the subject. Mention drizzle or steady rain and keep the direction simple so the image stays coherent.

Wet ground with restrained reflections

Puddles and wet paving reflect nearby light and shapes. They should follow the ground plane rather than float over walls or faces. Inspect pavement, shoe contact and building edges when comparing the result with your original.

A separate window-rain direction

For a rain-speckled window, name the glass and the scene beyond it. Droplets should sit on the glass while the background remains behind them. A close window view is a different composition from simply adding falling rain to a portrait.

Prompt ideas

Three Directions to Start With

Name one subject or setting, then the visual treatment and light. With a photo, describe only the changes you want; the uploaded image supplies the reference.

Rain and reflections on a quiet street

A quiet empty cobblestone street with stone buildings and an unmarked bicycle, fine falling rain and shallow wet-paving reflections, soft overcast light, coherent 35mm eye-level cinematic photograph.

Raindrops on a cafe window

A close photograph of rain droplets on a cafe window, a softly blurred empty street beyond, warm interior light reflected faintly in the glass, distinct droplets with natural gravity trails and no lettering.

A portrait in light drizzle

An adult woman aged 32 with dark curly hair wearing a fully opaque dark green raincoat buttoned to the collar, standing in light drizzle on a leafy path, face clear and recognizable, soft backlight showing fine rain, waist-up photograph.
