Describe the hat you want and AI places it naturally on anyone in your photo. Works great for portraits, headshots, and casual photos. If you're uploading a photo with a lot of bare skin — swimwear, strapless tops, or beach shots — Gemini's safety filter may refuse the edit regardless of the hat you're asking for. Try a more clothed photo, or crop the source image to focus on the face and shoulders.

How it works

  1. Upload your photo

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

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

    Type what you want: 'Add a stylish hat to this person, matching the angle and lighting.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Include fabric type and fit style like 'fitted silk' or 'oversized cotton' for realistic results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Baseball cap Add a navy baseball cap on this person, angled slightly to the right, match the lighting
    Fedora Add a black fedora hat on this person, tilted slightly forward, with a natural shadow on the forehead
    Cowboy hat Place a brown leather cowboy hat on this person, match the outdoor lighting
    Beanie Add a gray knit beanie on this person, pulled down just above the eyebrows
    3 more prompts
    Santa hat for holiday Add a classic red Santa hat on this person, slightly tilted to the side with a fluffy white trim
    Sun hat for outdoor look Add a wide-brimmed straw sun hat on this person, with natural shadow across the face from the brim
    Top hat for formal or fun Place a classic black top hat on this person, straight and upright, with a satin band around the base
  3. Review the result

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

What is the best AI tool for adding hats to photos?

EditThisPic uses AI to place any hat style on anyone in your photo with matched lighting and proper angle. Unlike sticker apps that paste flat hat graphics, the AI generates a realistic hat that fits the person's head angle and the photo's lighting. Free, works in your browser.

Yes. Baseball caps, fedoras, cowboy hats, beanies, sun hats, top hats, Santa hats — describe it and the AI creates it. Include details like color, material, and angle for the most realistic results.

Will the hat cast a realistic shadow?
