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 missing family member 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 the person from the reference photo into this group photo on the right side.' 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:

    Photographer missing from group add the person from the reference photo into this group, standing on the right end
    Try This →
    Late arrival not in photo add the person from the reference photo between the two people on the left
    Try This →
    Memorial combination add the person from the reference photo into this family photo, match the lighting naturally
    Try This →
    Distant relative inclusion add the person from the reference photo to the back row of this group photo
    Try This →
    4 more prompts
    Baby or child addition add the baby from the reference photo being held by the person on the left
    Try This →
    Subtle and natural blend add missing family member with subtle natural blending that matches the original photo's style
    Try This →
    With specific positioning add missing family member in the center of the frame with balanced proportions
    Try This →
    Dramatic effect version add missing family member with dramatic lighting and vivid details for maximum impact
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

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

  4. 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 missing family member details in tricky areas.

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

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how missing family member would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing missing family member in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show missing family member in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of missing family member in renovation plans

Best Practices

  • Upload a well-lit, straight-on photo of the room for the most realistic result
  • Specify the size and position — e.g., 'add a large missing family member on the left wall'
  • Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms
📷

Creative & Social Content

Use missing family member to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding missing family member to photos for unique social media posts that stand out in feeds
  • Creating fantasy or composite images that incorporate missing family member for art projects
  • Making holiday or themed content by placing missing family member in seasonal photos

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic missing family member' vs. 'illustrated missing family member' gives very different results
  • Use reference images when you want the AI to match a particular look
  • For social content, try unusual placements that create a surreal or humorous effect
📷

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate missing family member into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding missing family member to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show missing family member in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature missing family member in different settings

Best Practices

  • Use high-resolution source images — marketing materials demand sharp details
  • Keep brand guidelines in mind: specify colors and style that match when adding missing family member
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

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 into this group photo on the right side, 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.
