How it works

Upload your photo

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

Expect: Simple objects: 20-30 seconds. Complex scenes with multiple objects: may need 2-3 refinements.
Upload the object you want to add

Click '+ Add another image' and select a photo of your object. This is the best approach for product photography, specific props, or branded items. The AI will extract and composite that exact object into your scene. Photo of object on a neutral/clean background extracts best.

Tip: Don't have a photo of the object? Skip this step and describe what you want - the AI can generate common objects like mugs, laptops, plants, etc.

Holiday decoration add a small decorated Christmas tree with twinkling lights in the corner of the room, about 4 feet tall

Describe the placement

Tell the AI where to place it: 'put this object on the coffee table' or 'place in the bottom right corner matching the lighting.' Include position, scale, and orientation. Without a reference photo, describe the object itself too: 'add a vase of red roses on the table.'

Tip: With a reference photo, focus on WHERE and HOW to place it. Without one, also describe WHAT the object should look like.

Generate and review

Check that the object sits naturally on the surface with proper shadows. Verify the scale matches other items in the scene and lighting direction is consistent. Look for realistic reflections on glossy surfaces.
Refine with markers if needed

If the object appears in the wrong spot or at the wrong size, tap a marker on the exact location you want it and regenerate with size guidance. Useful for precise positioning in cluttered scenes.

Tip: Markers are especially helpful when adding objects to specific spots in busy photos.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how object would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

Visualizing object in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
Creating client mockups that show object in their actual space
Comparing different placements of object 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 object on the left wall'
Match the room's lighting in your prompt: 'warm lighting' for evening shots, 'natural daylight' for window-lit rooms

📷

Professional & Marketing Use

Incorporate object into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

Adding object to product mockups and marketing banners
Creating presentation slides that show object in context
Building a catalog of variations that feature object 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 object
Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

Object appears to float above the surface

Why: The AI did not properly ground the object with contact shadows or perspective matching.

Try: add the object sitting firmly on the surface with natural contact shadows underneath

Try This →

Tip: Always include 'with shadows' or 'grounded on' in your prompt for realistic placement

Object is the wrong size for the scene

Why: Without scale reference, the AI guessed the object size incorrectly relative to the scene.

Try: add a [smaller/larger] [object] that matches the scale of other items in the photo

Try This →

Tip: Include size references: 'coffee mug sized,' '3 feet tall,' or 'about the size of the lamp'

Lighting on object doesn't match the scene

Why: The AI generated the object with different lighting direction than the existing photo.

Try: add the object with lighting from the [same direction as scene - left/right/above]

Try This →

Tip: Note where shadows fall in your photo and mention that light direction

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI could not determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Object partially overlaps something it shouldn't

Why: The AI did not correctly understand the depth and layering of the scene.

Try: place the object clearly in front of/behind [reference object] without overlapping

Try This →

Tip: Describe spatial relationships explicitly: 'in front of the books' or 'behind the lamp'

Object looks pasted on or artificial

Why: Missing integration details like reflections, shadows, or environmental color matching.

Try: add the object with natural reflections, appropriate shadows, and color temperature matching the scene

Try This →

Tip: Describe how the object interacts with its environment for seamless results

Quick answers

Should I use a reference photo or just describe what I want?

Use a reference photo when you need the EXACT object - your product, a specific prop, or a branded item. Click '+ Add another image' to upload it. The AI extracts and composites that exact object into your scene. Use description alone for generic items like 'a coffee mug' or 'a potted plant' where any version will work.

Do I need to mark where the object should go?

No! Just describe the placement in your prompt: 'add this on the left side of the desk' or 'place in the center of the table.' The AI understands spatial descriptions. Only use markers when you need precise positioning in cluttered scenes.

How do I control the size of added objects?

Include size references in your prompt. Use measurements ('about 12 inches tall'), comparisons ('the size of a coffee mug'), or relative terms ('small,' 'large'). You can also reference existing objects: 'about the same height as the lamp.'

Can I add multiple objects at once?

Yes! Describe all objects in one prompt: 'add a laptop on the desk, a coffee mug next to it, and a small plant in the corner.' The AI will place all items with consistent lighting. For complex arrangements, adding objects one at a time gives more control.

Why do glass or reflective objects sometimes look wrong?

Glass and metal need environmental reflections to look real. Include 'with natural reflections' in your prompt. The AI will add appropriate reflections of the surroundings, making glass vases, shiny electronics, and metallic objects look realistic.
