How Flashley works
No account and nothing to set up. Your photo stays where it was taken, in the pose you chose. Only the light changes.
Pick a look
Night flash, golden hour, red light, a 2003 digicam: 19 looks, with new ones added regularly.

Choose a photo
Any photo you already have. One with your face clearly visible works best.
Flashley prints it
In about half a minute your photo comes back with new light, checked to make sure it still looks like you.

Same photo, new light
Compare it with the original, turn the effect up or down, and save it in full quality.
19 looks, two kinds of light
AI light looks relight you and the scene: a direct flash, a low sun, red party light. Film looks keep the light you had and add a camera’s color, grain and date stamp, without AI.


Turn the new light up or down
Every AI photo comes with an effect slider. Keep a hint of the new light or take all of it. Flashley saves exactly what you see.
Made for posting
- Before and after
- Drag across a photo to see the original under the new light.
- Carousel sets
- Give 4 to 6 photos the same look for one post.
- Photo strip
- Turn a set into a 4-cut strip, like a photo booth.
- Your darkroom
- Finished sets wait on your iPhone, so you can save them again anytime.
- Full quality
- Photos save to your library at full size, ready to post.


Still you
Flashley keeps your photo and changes the light: same place, same pose, same you.
Before you see an AI photo, Flashley compares the face in it with the face in your original. A photo that doesn’t look like you is never shown, and it never counts against your week.

What happens to your photo
No account, no ads, no tracking. Here is every stop your photo makes.
The first time
Flashley asks before it sends any photo off your iPhone.
When you start
Your photo goes to Flashley’s server over an encrypted connection.
About half a minute
It comes back relit, and Flashley checks the face against yours. The face measurements stay in memory and are never stored.
Within an hour
Your original photo is deleted from Flashley’s servers.
Within 24 hours
Your finished photos are deleted from Flashley’s servers too.
For as long as you like
Your darkroom of finished sets stays on your iPhone. Delete it anytime in Settings.
About the AI
AI looks are made with Google’s paid Gemini API. Google doesn’t use your photos to improve its products, but may keep them for up to 55 days to check for abuse. Film looks never go to Google.
Flashley Plus
Try one AI look on your own photo, free. If you like it, Flashley Plus unlocks it in full quality, and every look after that.
- 30 photos a week, in every look
- Full quality, ready to post
- New looks added regularly
Questions
Is Flashley a camera app?
No, Flashley is a photo editor for photos you already have. Pick a look, choose a photo from your library, and Flashley returns the same photo with new light and a camera’s character.
Will the photo still look like me?
Yes. Flashley keeps your face, pose and place and changes the light. Every AI photo is compared with your original before you see it, and one that doesn’t look like you is never shown and never counts against your week.
Is Flashley free?
Flashley is free to download and gives each iPhone one free AI preview. After that, Flashley Plus costs $6.99 a week or $79.99 a year in the US, with 30 photos a week. Prices differ by country, and there’s no free trial.
What’s the difference between AI light and film looks?
AI light looks relight you and the scene, like a flash, a sunset or party lights. Film looks keep the light you had and add a camera’s color, grain, frame or date stamp. Film looks don’t use AI at all.
