How it works

Upload your two photos

Drop the target photo into EditThisPic — the scene you want to appear in. Then click '+ Add reference photo' below the prompt box to upload a photo of yourself. A selfie works perfectly. Both photos are required: the scene photo sets the context, and your reference photo tells the AI what you look like.

Expect: JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB each. Front-facing or three-quarter angle selfies give the best facial accuracy.
Describe where to add yourself

Type a placement description: 'add me to the right side of the group, wearing similar casual clothing, matching the outdoor afternoon lighting.' Position, clothing match, and lighting details help the AI create a convincing composite.

Tip: Describe clothing that fits the scene's style — 'wearing casual summer clothing matching the others' helps the AI adjust what you're wearing from the reference photo.

User added to family reunion photo

The user missed a family gathering and wanted to appear in the group shot. They uploaded a selfie as reference and the target reunion photo. AI added them to the right end of the lineup with matching casual outdoor lighting.

Prompt:

Add the person from the reference photo into the gap at the right end of the family lineup. Make sure their clothing and the lighting match the main photo.

Portrait of the woman to add — middle-aged, dark blazer over light shirt — Reference

User added to office team photo

A new employee missed the official team photo. They used their LinkedIn headshot as a reference and added themselves to the lineup at the end.

Prompt:

Take the woman from this reference photo (photo 2) and insert her into the gap at the right end of the team photo. Preserve her face, hair, and outfit exactly as shown in the reference; match the group photo lighting and scale.

User added to travel scene

A travel photo of a scenic viewpoint that the user wanted to appear in. They used a casual selfie as reference and placed themselves in the foreground of the landscape.

Prompt:

Add the person from the reference photo to the empty viewing platform on the left. Match the lighting to the bright outdoor sun and add a natural shadow.

If something looks off

The lighting on me doesn't match the scene

Why: The AI used generic or default lighting for the insertion instead of reading the scene's light source.

Try: add me with lighting from the left side matching the other subjects in the photo, consistent shadows

Try This →

Tip: Identify the light source in your target photo and describe it: 'overhead indoor light' or 'sun from the upper right'

My face looks different from my reference photo

Why: The reference selfie quality or angle wasn't ideal for facial feature extraction.

Try: add me preserving my exact facial features and likeness from the reference photo

Try This →

Tip: A well-lit front-facing or three-quarter selfie gives the most accurate likeness in the result

Edges around me look fake or cut-out

Why: The edge blending didn't adapt well to the background complexity at that location.

Try: add me with seamlessly blended edges, natural hair edges, no harsh cutout lines

Try This →

Tip: Complex backgrounds like foliage or crowds need 'seamlessly blended' explicitly in the prompt

My clothing looks wrong for the scene

Why: The AI used your reference photo clothing, which may not match the scene's dress code.

Try: add me wearing casual outdoor clothing similar to the other people in the photo

Try This →

Tip: Describe the target clothing explicitly — 'wearing a casual t-shirt and jeans matching the others' — for better clothing adaptation

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos for this?

Yes — adding yourself to a photo requires two photos. First, upload the target photo (the scene you want to appear in). Then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload a photo of yourself — a selfie works great. The AI uses your reference to identify your likeness and add you to the target photo with matched lighting and scale.

How do I add myself to a photo for free?

Upload the target photo to EditThisPic, click '+ Add reference photo' to upload your selfie, then describe where you want to appear: 'add me to the right side of the group.' The AI adds you in about 30 seconds. Completely free, no account needed, no signup, no watermark.

What kind of selfie should I use as a reference?

A front-facing or three-quarter angle selfie in good lighting works best. Make sure your face is clearly visible and you're reasonably large in the frame. The background of your selfie doesn't matter — the AI extracts only you from the reference. Avoid very dark, blurry, or heavily filtered selfies for best results.

Can I add myself to a photo I was never in?

Yes, that's exactly what this is for. Upload any photo you want to appear in, add a selfie as your reference, and describe your position. The AI composites you into the scene. Results look most convincing when you describe clothing that matches the scene's style.

Can I add myself to a group photo that already has people in it?

Yes. Group photos work very well. Describe where you want to stand relative to existing people: 'add me to the right end of the group' or 'add me next to the person in the blue shirt.' The AI matches your scale to the existing subjects and blends you into the scene.
