Frequently asked questions

Wylume by Willow & Wired is a mobile app. Give it one photo and the story behind it, choose how the photo should look, and Wylume gets your image ready to review and share. Yours, beautifully shared.

Anyone with something to share — for personal life, a business, as a creator, or for a nonprofit or community group. People share products they make or sell, work or projects, creative work, food & experiences, places & travel, life & everyday things, news & updates — or a little of everything. Wylume isn’t only for businesses.

Photo + your story. You choose how it looks. You choose where.

In the app: Photo → Story → Present → Review. Pick a photo, share the story behind it, and choose how it looks. At Review your image is ready. Save a draft or tap Share to send it. Nothing is shared until you choose to share it.

Your photo, unchanged. Wylume uses it just as you provided it. Keep Original is always free and never uses a creation.

Your photo, just better. Enhance polishes the light, color, and clarity of the photo you took, and reduces color noise. It improves the photograph — not what was photographed. It doesn’t add, remove, move, or invent anything, or change who or what is in the picture. Enhance keeps your photo’s shape, is always free, and never uses a creation.

Same subject. A better setting. Stage keeps what you’re showing and gives it a new background, surface, atmosphere, weather, or season. It’s designed to keep every main subject (two pets stay two pets), the camera angle, and the framing. It doesn’t invent sides you didn’t photograph or add new text or logos. It usually keeps your photo’s shape (very wide or tall photos are limited to 3:1). Fine print and small labels can soften, so check the details before you share. Stage uses 1 creation.

Your photo, reimagined. Create uses your photo as inspiration for a new concept — it can change the composition, perspective, props, styling, and mood. Wylume tries to keep recognizable identity when it can. Create makes a square image today, even if your photo is wide or tall. It uses 1 creation.

No. You review before anything goes out. Wylume assists — it does not take over where your content is shared.

Anywhere your phone can share an image. Tap Share on Review to open your phone’s share sheet. It shares the image only.

Keep Original leaves it unchanged. Other treatments create new presented versions. Your original is always kept, and results are shown right next to it so you can compare. Your choices stay in your control.

Wylume is coming soon for iPhone and Android.

No. Wylume starts with your photo and what matters about it. You choose how it looks — including Keep Original (unchanged) and Enhance (improves the photograph, not what was photographed). Examples on this site are demos, not fantasy art promises.

Enhance is built to preserve photographed reality — it doesn’t add, remove, or invent objects. Stage changes the setting while keeping every main subject, the camera angle, and the framing. You choose the direction before anything new is made. Fine print and small labels can soften or drift, so check product details before you share.

No. Show what you want to share, tell us what matters, and choose how it looks. Wylume assists — you don’t need to be a designer or a photographer.

No. It’s for anyone with real things to share — personal, business, creator, or nonprofit & community. Not an influencer-only tool.

No. They’re demos and examples so you can see what Wylume can do — not customer case studies or testimonials.

You can start free, with no card needed. Free includes 5 creations to use on Stage or Create, and they never expire. Keep Original and Enhance are always free and never use a creation.

A creation is used only when a Stage or Create result is made. Choosing a direction, browsing examples, or an attempt that fails or times out doesn’t count. Keep Original and Enhance never count. If you run out, you can still use Keep Original and Enhance. Other usage and safety limits may apply.
