Replace Skies in Your Photos to Keep Your Content On-Brand
Whether you're an influencer, creative, or part of a content team, visual consistency is everything. But when you're shooting outdoors, the sky doesn't always play nice – and an overcast day or washed-out background can throw off your aesthetic. With the Sky Replacer, you can swap in skies that align with your style, season, or campaign – so every image feels intentional, polished, and on-brand. Here’s how to do it.
Why Use the Sky Replacer for Digital Content
Your visuals are your brand – and every photo adds to the story. The Sky Replacer gives you control over the skies in your content, helping you deliver a consistent look without the need to reshoot.
- Replace skies that clash with your color palette or editing style.

- Edit for consistency, no matter when or where the photo was taken.
How to Replace the Sky in Your Creator Image
Swapping skies is an easy way to bring outdoor content in line with your visual style. for this example, we'll use a travel influencer's photo that could use a more impactful sky. Here’s how to start:
Step 1: Open the Sky Replacer
Head to the Sky Replacer from the Edit tab, located under Remove/Replace. Upload your photo to get started. Then click Change Sky to begin replacing the sky in your content.
Step 2: Choose a New Sky
Choose Image, followed by Select Sky, to browse BeFunky’s curated options – or upload your own. Choose a sky that reflects your brand aesthetic: think pastel tones for soft, curated feeds or golden-hour skies for warm, lifestyle-focused content.
Step 3: Edit the Sky and Foreground
Click on the Settings icon to customize your sky's contrast, saturation, and lighting.
From the Colors tab, you can refine the contrast, saturation, and more while blending the results with the Affect Foreground and Edge lighting sliders. You can also use the Adjust tab to refine things like blur and edge softness to make your new sky look even more realistic.
Step 4: Apply and Save Your Image
Once your sky and subject look balanced, head back to the main menu of the Sky Replacer and click Apply to confirm your edits.
Then click Save at the top of the screen to export your final image. Whether you're prepping for social, a campaign, or branded content, your photo is now fully on-brand and ready to share.
With just a few simple adjustments, your image goes from inconsistent or weather-worn to completely on-brand. Whether you're replacing a blown-out sky or fine-tuning your tones to match a campaign, the difference is clear. Try comparing your before and after – you'll see how a small sky change can bring your entire post together.
Fresh Ways to Use Sky Replacer in Creator Content
Your content doesn’t have to match the weather – it just has to match your style. Here are a few creative ways to use the Sky Replacer to elevate your posts and promos:
Style Skies for Seasonal Promos
Match skies to the tone of your current sales or marketing posts – warmer tones for spring collections, dreamy sunsets for summer vibes, or muted neutrals for a fall campaign. It’s a fast way to align your visuals with your message.
Push Your Style With Creative Skies
You don’t always need a realistic sky – sometimes, a dramatic cloudscape, soft gradient, or unexpected color can make your post stand out. Try using skies that match your creative tone, theme, or moodboard. Whether you're going surreal, cinematic, or dreamy, the Sky Replacer lets you experiment with skies that reflect your aesthetic – not just the forecast.
Fix Skies That Don’t Match Your Aesthetic
If your content leans bright and airy or soft and dreamy but your shoot took place under the wrong clouds, use the Sky Replacer to restore your brand’s tone. Soft pastels, light textures, or gradient skies work well without overpowering your subject.
Keep Your Content Consistent With the Sky Replacer
Strong visual storytelling is all about consistency – and the Sky Replacer gives you one more tool to make that happen. Whether you’re refining photos for your feed, aligning content to a brand aesthetic, or editing for a seasonal campaign, the right sky can pull everything together. And you don’t have to wait for perfect weather to get there.
