How it works

  1. Upload your group photo

    Drop the group photo you want to add someone to into EditThisPic. Works with family photos, wedding photos, team photos, or any group shot. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple additions: 20-30 seconds. Complex lighting matching and natural blending: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Upload reference photo of the person

    Click '+ Add another image' and select a photo of the person you want to add to the group. This gives exact results - the AI inserts that specific person with proper perspective, matching the group photo's lighting and scale. Choose a reference photo with similar lighting conditions and angle for best results.

    Tip: Use a reference photo taken in similar lighting (indoor/outdoor, time of day) and similar clothing formality to match the group photo.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Person missing from family photo add this person to the right side of the group photo, match lighting and scale naturally
    Insert between two people insert this person between the two people on the left, blend naturally with the group
    Back row placement add this person to the back row center, slightly smaller scale to match depth perspective
    Memorial photo addition add this person standing on the far left, match the lighting and blend seamlessly as if they were there

    Someone cropped out add this person to the right edge where they were cropped out, match the existing lighting and poses
    Child added to family photo add this child standing in front of the two adults on the right, scale appropriately for a child's height
    Wedding party completion add this groomsman to the left side of the lineup, match the formal attire lighting and align with the row
  3. Describe the placement and blending

    With reference image: 'add this person to the right side of the group photo, match lighting and scale' or 'insert this person between the two people on the left, blend naturally.' Be specific about where they should go and ensure the AI matches the existing photo's lighting.

    Tip: Mention 'match lighting' and 'blend naturally' to ensure the AI harmonizes the added person with the group's appearance.

    Check that the added person's scale matches the group, lighting looks consistent, shadows align with the scene, and they're positioned realistically in the composition. Verify skin tones and clothing colors blend with the overall photo.

Quick answers

Do I need Photoshop skills to add a person to a group photo?

No! EditThisPic handles the complex work of matching lighting, scaling, and blending automatically. Just upload your group photo and a reference image of the person, then describe where they should go: 'add this person to the right side of the group.' The AI does the rest. No masking, layering, or manual editing required.

How do I get the most natural-looking results?

Use a reference photo of the person taken in similar conditions as the group photo - matching indoor/outdoor setting, similar lighting (time of day), and comparable clothing formality. Mention 'match lighting and scale' in your prompt. The more similar the reference photo's conditions, the more seamless the blend.

Can I add someone to the middle of the group, not just the edges?

Yes. Describe the exact position: 'insert this person between the two people on the left' or 'add this person to the back row center.' The AI understands spatial positioning within groups. For middle placements, expect slightly more complex blending that may need one refinement.

Is this appropriate for memorial or tribute photos?

Yes. Many families use this to create meaningful memorial photos by adding deceased loved ones to current family gatherings. The AI treats these edits with the same care and quality. Always inform recipients that the photo is a loving tribute composition, not an original photograph.

What if I don't have a reference photo of the person?

You can describe the person instead: 'add a woman in a red dress standing on the right, matching the group's casual style.' Results won't be that specific person, but a generated person matching your description. For family photos of specific people, a reference image is strongly recommended.

Can I add multiple people to the same group photo?

Yes. Add them one at a time for best results. First prompt: 'add this person to the right side.' Then upload the edited result and add the second person: 'add this person to the left side.' Sequential additions give you control over each person's placement and blending.
