Quick answers

Can EditThisPic put photos side by side?

EditThisPic is built for seamless blending (extracting elements and merging them), not side-by-side layouts. For side-by-side, use Canva or PineTools - they're free and designed specifically for collages. EditThisPic would be overkill for simple layouts.

What's the best free tool for photo collages?

For collages and side-by-side layouts: Canva (best templates), PineTools (simplest), or your phone's built-in Photos app. For seamless blending where you extract a person from one photo and merge them into another: EditThisPic.

I want to add someone to a photo - which is that?

That's seamless blending, not side-by-side. You want EditThisPic. Upload your group photo, add a reference photo of the person, and describe where to place them. The AI extracts them and blends them in naturally.

I want a before/after comparison - which is that?

Before/after comparisons are side-by-side layouts. Use Canva or PineTools to place the two photos next to each other with a clear divider. They have templates specifically for this.

What if I'm not sure which I need?

Ask yourself: do you want to see both complete photos at once (side-by-side) or do you want elements from one photo inserted into another so it looks like one scene (blending)? The first is collage territory, the second is EditThisPic territory.

Need seamless blending?

EditThisPic merges photos so they look like one unified image. Free to try.
