No — different spellings, different sites, completely unrelated. Skybrari (spelled with an "i" at the end — skybrari.com) is a sky-replacement photo library for photographers. Skybrary (with a "y" — skybrary.aero) is an aviation safety knowledge resource run by EUROCONTROL.
If you found Skybrari through a sky-replacement, Photoshop, Luminar, or photography search, you're in the right place. If you were looking for aviation safety information, you want skybrary.aero instead.
Every sky in the Skybrari library is a real panoramic photograph. Captured in-camera, never generated. The library will never include AI-generated content, and the license explicitly prohibits using Skybrari files to train image-synthesis models.
If you look closely at the full-resolution files, you can see the kind of tiny imperfections — slight lens vignette, faint sensor noise, real cloud edges — that tell you they're photographs. AI output typically has too-smooth gradients and a telltale "never-existed" quality. Skybrari doesn't.
Full-resolution JPG, panoramic format — wider than tall, deliberately so you have horizontal latitude when composing into a landscape shot. Colour-graded and ready to composite. No watermarks on paid files. Each zip includes a plain-English license PDF and a short README.
976 panoramic skies across 20 mood-based collections — and counting. New skies are added monthly. Once you've purchased a sky, your account keeps a permanent record so you can re-download it any time.
Yes. The Skybrari license covers personal and paid commercial photography — weddings, real estate, editorial, commercial. You can deliver composites to clients, use them in portfolios, print them, sell prints, whatever your usual practice is.
What you can't do is give the raw sky file to someone else — not the client, not a collaborator, not a forum. Each person who wants access to a Skybrari sky must purchase their own license.
No, attribution is not required. Feel free to credit if you'd like — a behind-the-scenes post, a client-facing disclosure, or the Skybrari weekly challenge all appreciate credit — but it's optional.
No. The license is non-transferable and each license covers one person. If your editor needs access to Skybrari skies, they'll need to purchase their own license.
Why so strict? The per-sky price point ($2.25–$3 depending on volume) already reflects the expectation of one-purchaser-per-license. Sharing would put Skybrari into the same economic tier as a stock library charging 10× the price for "team" access, which isn't the model here.
Explicitly no. The license prohibits including Skybrari files in any dataset used to train machine-learning models, generative image systems, or any automated image-synthesis tool. Doing so voids the license. This is one of the non-negotiables of the Skybrari brand.
Any editor that handles layers or sky replacement features. Skybrari files are plain JPGs — no special format, no plugin to install. The most common workflows:
Not yet. A browser-based one-click tool is something we're researching — but only if we can hit a quality bar that matches what your existing editor already does. For now, Skybrari focuses on the sky files themselves and leaves the compositing to your editor of choice (Photoshop, Luminar Neo, Capture One, ON1, Affinity), which handle edges and relighting properly. Get in touch if you want to be notified if and when a Skybrari tool ships.
This is where editors shine: in Luminar Neo, load the Skybrari sky once as a Sky AI preset, then sync across your whole gallery. In Lightroom, use Develop settings sync after the Photoshop round-trip. In Capture One, copy-paste adjustments. The raw sky file lets you treat it like any other preset or asset in your library.
Yes — individual skies are $3 each, and it's the most common way people shop. Browse the gallery, tap any sky you want, and it lands in your cart.
Bulk pricing kicks in automatically as you add more: 15% off at 25 skies, 25% off at 75 or more. If you already know you want every shot of a given mood, themed collections (15–50 skies each) and the full-library bundle are listed on the shop page — they're just a shortcut to a pre-built cart.
Stripe Checkout handles all transactions, which means credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and ACH for US customers. International buyers: Stripe supports ~135 currencies.
