Upload the photo
Drag in or select the product photo that has glare, reflections, or shiny hotspots.
Shiny packaging, glass, and plastic create glare that ruins product photos. Upload the image, let Akay remove the glare, and keep the product's true color and detail.
Glare removal prompts
Quick starting points for common glare problems.
What causes glare on product photos, how AI glare removal works, and when it saves a shoot.
Glare and reflections appear on product photos when light bounces off smooth, shiny, or transparent surfaces. Glass bottles, plastic packaging, metal containers, and glossy screens all reflect light sources — studio lights, windows, or even the camera itself — creating bright hotspots that wash out the product's color, label, and texture. This is a physics problem: smooth surfaces reflect light at predictable angles, and any light source in the wrong position creates glare.
Traditional product photography solves glare with polarizing filters, diffusers, and careful light positioning — techniques that require equipment and experience. Phone photos and quick studio shots rarely have this control, which is why so many product photos have glare on the packaging, bottle, or screen. The glare makes the product look cheap and hides the details that shoppers need to see.
AI glare removal reads the product photo, identifies the bright hotspots caused by reflections, and reconstructs the surface underneath — the true color, texture, and label that the glare was hiding. The AI distinguishes between glare (an unwanted reflection) and the product's actual highlights (the natural sheen on a glossy surface), so it removes the glare without flattening the product's material finish.
Upload the product photo, and the AI targets the glare while aiming to keep the product's shape, color, and label. The result is a cleaner, glare-reduced product photo that looks closer to proper light control — ready for your ecommerce listing or ad creative after review. For severe glare on glass or metal, you may need a second pass; for typical packaging glare on plastic and bottles, one pass is usually enough.

What glare removal can and cannot do.
It works on glare and reflections from glass, plastic, metal, and shiny packaging. Very strong lens flare or motion blur may need multiple passes.
The prompt aims to keep the product's color, label, texture, and shape. Small details may shift — review the result and refine if needed.
