LightX

What is LightX?

LightX is an AI-powered platform for image, video, and graphic design developed by Andor Communications Private Limited; it offers a web editor, iOS and Android apps, as well as developer APIs. It combines traditional photo editing, generative editing, template design, and short-video creation in one single product.

Users can generate images or videos from blank prompts, or they can upload selfies, product photos, sketches, and reference images for further editing. The platform is aimed at content creators, e-commerce sellers, beginners in design, social media managers, as well as development teams that need to process large quantities of images.

A one-sentence summary

LightX allows users to create images, replace backgrounds, redraw specific areas, enhance portraits, take product photos, arrange designs, and convert images into videos using text, pictures, sketches, or preset templates; high-resolution versions and advanced features can be unlocked through points or subscriptions.

Main functions

• Generate AI images in various styles from text, reference images, or sketches.
• Convert static photos into animated short videos or special effect clips.
• Remove, replace, expand, or create image backgrounds.
• Remove objects, text, watermarks, and other elements from the image.
• Create profile pictures, ID photos, professional photos, as well as cartoon and artistic portraits.
• Change the hairstyle, hair color, clothing, expression, and overall appearance of the portrait.
• Create studios, scenes, and e-commerce display images for products.
• Create logos, packaging, cards, posters, social media content, and marketing designs.
• Use cropping, color correction, layers, masks, collage, and a material library for traditional editing.
• Integrate background removal, profile pictures, product images, and generation capabilities into applications via APIs.

AI image generation

LightX supports various input methods such as text, images, and sketches, and offers styles including realistic, 3D, fantasy, anime, and pixel art. Some of the generators allow the use of SDXL or Flux series models, and it is possible to control the composition using the depth, posture, or edges of reference images.

AI image editing

Local replacement and cleanup

AI Replace allows users to select the areas that need to be modified and then describe the objects or images that should be added. AI Cleanup is more suitable for removing pedestrians, clutter, text, and other unwanted elements.

Zooming in and enlarging images

AI Expand adds new content to the edges of an image, making it suitable for converting square images into horizontal or vertical formats. AI Upscale is used to increase resolution and detail, but it cannot create real textures that were not originally present in the image.

Background processing

Users can automatically isolate objects from images, download versions with a transparent background, replace colors with solid ones, or create new scenes. The free version and the Pro version differ in terms of output format, resolution, and the number of files that can be processed at once.

Portraits and virtual avatars

• AI Headshot converts ordinary photos into professional headshots.
• AI Avatars can create digital images in realistic, anime, superhero, and other styles.
• AI Portrait adds artistic styles and visual effects to selfies.
• AI Outfit tries different outfits on portrait photos.
• AI Hairstyle and Hair Color are used for previewing hairstyles and hair colors.
• Face Retouch, Reshape, and Expression are used for making fine adjustments.
• A personal photoshoot involves placing a single photo within a new photographic scene.
• Duo Photoshoot allows two photos of people to be combined in the same scene.

Precautions for portrait tools

Image generation can alter faces, clothing, bodies, and backgrounds; the resulting images should not be used to create fake identities, deceptive material, or sensitive content without consent. In scenarios related to professions, dating, and identification documents, it is particularly important to distinguish between real photos and AI-generated images.

AI product photography

LightX can identify the main subject in ordinary product photos, apply pre-set or text-generated photographic backgrounds, and automatically adjust the lighting, colors, size, and integration of the scene. The resulting images are suitable for use in product listings, social media ads, catalogs, and preliminary marketing materials.

1. Upload product photos that are clear, have even lighting, and show the entire item.
2. Check whether automatic object removal preserves edges, transparent materials, and shadows.
3. Choose from e-commerce, studio, podium, natural, or custom scenes.
4. Specify the brand color, material, lighting, and composition in the prompt.
5. Generate multiple versions and check the product shape, labels, and logo.
6. Add actual text, prices, and brand elements to the editor.
7. Export according to the dimensions of the target e-commerce platform or advertising platform.
8. Before publishing, check that the appearance of the product matches its actual condition.

AI-designed and generated

AI Design can generate logos, cards, packaging, posters, advertisements, and social media designs based on text, and it allows for further adjustments to the text, icons, colors, and layout. It is suitable for creating concept drafts and initial marketing materials, but complex texts, trademarks, and printed documents still require manual review.

Video capabilities

LightX offers services for creating videos from text, from images, as well as various video editing tools. It enables the conversion of photos into animated clips; it also allows the addition of text, stickers, and music, along with functions for cropping, scaling, muting, and format conversion. AI-based video generation typically requires more credits compared to working with a single image.

• Text descriptions are used to generate short videos.
• Add motion and camera effects to static photos.
• Converting images to video is used for people, products, and social content.
• Add music, text, stickers, and call-to-actions.
• Crop, resize, and convert video formats.
• Generate corresponding proportions for different social media platforms.

Traditional image editing

In addition to generative AI, LightX also offers functions such as cropping, rotation, color correction, blurring, collage, layers, masks, text, stickers, filters, borders, and a material library. Traditional tools are suitable for fine-tuning AI-generated results, and can also be used for regular photo editing.

Usage method

1. Create an account on the web or in a mobile app.
2. Choose image generation, photo editing, video, or design tools.
3. Upload images, sketches, product photos, or enter text notes.
4. Select the preset style, model, scale, and number of outputs.
5. After creation, check the details of the main subject, text, hands, logo, and background.

Free version and Pro version

The Starter plan is a free option on a long-term basis; the pricing page indicates 5 free AI credits per day and a maximum of 5 images, while some product pages show 6 credits per day. Due to differences in the information presented on these pages, the actual amount available should be based on the account balance.

Consumer price packages

The price information was verified on August 23, 2026; the actual amounts, taxes, exchange rates, and discounts may vary, and the final figures will be those displayed on the settlement page.

Website prices are displayed in Indian rupees, while in-app purchases within the mobile app may be charged in dollars or other currencies, depending on the country, the purchase channel, and any promotions in effect. The 7-day free trial is linked to an annual subscription; if it is not canceled before the end of the trial period, the annual fee will be charged automatically.

Differences in in-app purchases on mobile devices

The App Store in the United States currently offers various in-app purchases such as weekly, monthly, annual subscriptions, lifetime memberships, and AI credits; the monthly subscription cost is either 6.99 or 9.99 dollars, while the annual subscription costs 39.99 or 59.99 dollars. Different options may be associated with promotions, older subscription plans, or specific user groups, and it is necessary to refer to the confirmation messages provided by the system before making a purchase.

How are AI points consumed?

The cost per generation varies depending on the tool used; therefore, 1000 points do not necessarily equate to 1000 images. The pricing page indicates a typical maximum of 500 images or 10 videos, but the actual number depends on the model, the type of generation, and the output settings.

• Simple editing may require less effort than a full generation.
• High-quality models may use more integrals.
• Video generation is usually more expensive than creating individual images.
• A single operation may return multiple candidate images.
• Failed or regenerated charges should be checked in the account records.
• The expiration rules for Pro monthly points and one-time point packages are different.

Cancellation, renewal, and refunds

Subscriptions are automatically renewed at the end of each billing cycle, and it is generally necessary to cancel them at least 24 hours before that cycle ends. Once canceled, the service can still be used until the end of the current cycle; any fees that have already been paid as well as the unused portion of the time do not usually get refunded.

• The annual fee will be deducted automatically after the 7-day trial period of the annual plan expires.
• Deleting an app does not automatically cancel the store subscription.
• Refunds for purchases from the App Store and Google Play are requested following the procedures of each respective store.
• Refunds for web pages or other channels are handled in accordance with LightX’s refund policy.
• Unused portions of a subscription period are generally not refunded on a pro rata basis.
• Before cancellation, check the remaining AI points and project access rules.

LightX API

LightX offers REST APIs for image generation and editing, designed for businesses and developers; authentication is carried out using API keys. The available functions include background removal, image cleanup, creation of profile pictures, text-to-image conversion, product photography, and professional profile pictures.

API price

API accounts and consumer Pro benefits operate under different billing systems; App points cannot be used directly with APIs. APIs offer 25 free points, with a distinction between periodic subscription credits and one-time Flexi credits.

API integration steps

1. Create a separate LightX API account and obtain testing credits.
2. Create an API key in the console; do not use the consumer account password as a substitute.
3. Choose background removal, profile pictures, product photography, or other endpoints.
4. Place the input image in a location that the API service can access.
5. The image address and parameters are submitted through a server-side request.
6. Handle task status, result addresses, errors, and timeouts.
7. Record the score consumption and failure occurrences for each interface.
8. Store the key in a server environment or a key management tool.
9. Set call limits, content moderation, and cost alerts before going live.
10. Regularly rotate keys and revoke access to obsolete projects.

API, SDK, and open-source status

LightX has made available REST API documentation and example requests in multiple languages, but no public SDK or GitHub repository for the core editor maintained by the product team has been found. The platform, mobile applications, generation models, and server-side components are all closed-source commercial products.

Commercial use and copyright

Some AI image tools explicitly allow users to use the generated images for commercial purposes, but the commercial license does not automatically eliminate third-party rights. Users still need to check the prompt text, the uploaded materials, any portraits, trademarks, fonts, stock imagery, and the similarity of the resulting images.

• Only upload images that you own or for which you have permission.
• Check trademarks and similar logos before creating brand materials.
• Obtain the person’s consent before using their real photos.
• Do not use composite images of celebrities for fake endorsements.
• Stock images may be subject to a separate license; commercial use rights cannot be inferred merely from a subscription.
• Save the generation time, prompt words, and records of manual modifications.
• High-risk ads and product images should be reviewed by legal officers or platform policy specialists.

Privacy and data

LightX handles accounts, devices, usage patterns, diagnostics, location data, contact information, as well as photos and videos uploaded by users. The mobile store states that some identifiers, usage data, and diagnostic information may be used for tracking or advertising purposes.

Some AI tool pages state that the uploaded images will not be used for model training, and they emphasize that certain functions do not save the input images. Data processing may vary depending on the tool, as well as whether it is used on a web interface or a mobile device; therefore, it is still necessary to check the relevant instructions before uploading sensitive photos.

Individuals and small teams can first test the quality of the output using daily credits.

Before making a payment, it is essential to carefully check the price of the service through that channel, the option for automatic renewal, the validity period of points, the output resolution, and the scope of materials that can be used for commercial purposes. When using such materials for portraits, products, or brand promotions, it is also necessary to manually verify the authenticity of the content, check the relevant licenses, and examine the details of any text or logos included.
