How it works

Upload your photo

Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better friend to photo results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe your edit

Type what you want: 'add the person from the reference photo next to me in this photo.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

Tip: Upload the person you want to add as a reference image for seamless insertion.

Copy one of these to get started:

Add friend beside you add the person from the reference photo standing next to me on the right
Try This →

Add to group hangout add the person from reference into the group, between the two people on the left
Try This →

Add to vacation photo add my friend from reference into this vacation photo next to me at the landmark
Try This →

Review the result

Use the before/after slider to compare results. Check that the friend to photo edit blends naturally with surrounding areas — look for consistent lighting, color matching, and clean edges throughout.
Refine if needed

If any areas need fine-tuning, tap markers on those specific spots and describe what to fix. The AI can adjust individual regions without redoing the entire edit — useful for perfecting friend to photo details in tricky areas.

Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try:

add the person from the reference photo next to me in this photo, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Person's edges show halos or artifacts

Why: The boundary between the person and the background wasn't cleanly handled.

Try: Tap markers along the person's outline and regenerate: 'clean up the edges for a seamless blend'

Try This →

Tip: Upload the person you want to add as a reference image for seamless insertion.

Added person's lighting doesn't match the scene

Why: The source photo of the person had different lighting than the target scene.

Try: Add 'match the lighting direction and color temperature of the scene' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Use source photos with similar lighting conditions — both outdoor or both indoor — for best results.

Face swap looks uncanny or distorted

Why: The face angle or expression didn't align well between the two photos.

Try: Try with photos where both faces have a similar angle and expression for more natural results

Try This →

Tip: Face swaps work best when both photos have a similar head angle and neutral or matching expressions.
