  • Graduation photos missing a deceased grandparent
  • Baby's first photo with a relative who passed before they were born
  • Anniversary photos with a deceased spouse

  • Tell the AI exactly where to place them in the photo
  • Take care to refine the result β€” these are emotional photos that deserve patience

Everyday Remembrance

Add a deceased loved one to ordinary photos β€” Sunday dinners, casual snapshots, family hangouts.

Common Scenarios

  • Sunday family dinner photos with a deceased grandparent
  • Casual living room snapshots with a missing parent
  • Family vacation photos with a deceased relative
  • Backyard barbecue photos with a missing uncle or aunt

Best Practices

  • Casual photos are easier to edit β€” less formal lighting
  • Use a casual reference photo if you have one for natural blending
  • These are deeply meaningful β€” give yourself permission to refine multiple times

Quick answers

How do I add a deceased relative to a recent photo?

Upload your recent family photo to EditThisPic, then upload a clear photo of your deceased loved one (any age, any time period). Type 'add the deceased relative from the reference photo into this family photo, place them next to [name], match the lighting carefully,' and click Generate. Result in 15-30 seconds.

Can I use an old photo as the reference?

Yes. Even old, faded, or low-resolution photos work as references. The AI extracts the person's features and reconstructs them with current photo quality. Clearer references give clearer results, but the AI is flexible.

Is this an appropriate way to remember someone?

Many families find this deeply meaningful β€” being able to see a loved one present in a milestone they couldn't physically attend. It's a personal choice. There's no right or wrong; do what feels right for you and your family.

Will the result look natural?

Yes, in most cases. The AI matches lighting, perspective, and color temperature. For very different reference and group photos (e.g., black-and-white reference into a color group photo), the AI converts as needed. Take time to refine if the first result isn't quite right.

Can I add my deceased loved one as they appeared at a different age?

Yes β€” use a reference photo from the age you want them to appear. If you want your grandfather to look like he did in his 60s, use a photo of him from that period. The AI uses the reference as the source of truth for their appearance.

Can I add a deceased loved one to my wedding photos?

Yes β€” this is one of the most common uses. Upload your wedding photo, upload a clear photo of your loved one, and place them next to you in the prompt. Many people add their late parents or grandparents to wedding shots so they can be present in the moment.

What if the reference photo is black and white?

The AI handles black-and-white references and adds them in color to a color photo. Mention 'add them in color matching the photo' for the cleanest result. The AI infers natural skin tones and clothing colors.

Is this free?

Yes β€” one free edit per week with no account needed. For families with many photos to edit, packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits and subscriptions at $4.99/month for 15.
