AI Grandparent Photo Adder

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your family photo

   Drop in the family photo you'd like the grandparents added to. A photo with some open space behind or beside the group gives the AI room to place them naturally. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: A clear open spot in the scene and a well-lit reference photo make a first attempt easier; a crowded photo or very different lighting between photos may need one refinement.
2. 2

   Add the grandparents as a reference

   Click '+ Add reference image' and upload a clear photo of the grandparents — a recent photo works well, and so does a slightly older one if that's what you have.

   Tip: A photo where both grandparents are visible and facing forward gives the AI the clearest likeness to preserve.

   Describe where they belong

   Type your instruction: 'add them standing behind the family, both smiling' or 'add grandma and grandpa on either side of the kids.' Mention position and expression.

   Tip: Naming their usual spot in family photos — 'grandma next to mom, like always' — helps the placement feel familiar rather than arbitrary.

   Review and refine

   Check that the scale and lighting match the rest of the family, and that the expression feels warm and natural. If something feels off, describe the fix, or tap a marker on the exact spot to adjust.

   Tip: Family scenes with several people can take one retry to get everyone's scale and lighting consistent in a single pass.
