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 object results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple objects: 20-30 seconds. Complex scenes with multiple objects: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. 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.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Add your product (with reference photo) place this product on the table in the center, matching the scene lighting and adding natural shadows
    Try This →
    Add specific item (with reference photo) add this object to the desk on the right side, scale it to match other items, with realistic shadows
    Try This →
    Desktop accessory (no reference) add a sleek silver laptop open on the desk with the screen facing slightly toward the camera, matching the room's lighting
    Try This →
    Table decoration (no reference) add a clear glass vase with fresh white flowers on the center of the table, with natural shadows
    Try This →

    Outdoor scene add a red bicycle leaning against the wall on the left side of the image, with natural sunlight shadows
    Try This →
    Food photography add a freshly baked croissant on a white plate next to the coffee cup, with appetizing golden brown color
    Try This →
    Holiday decoration add a small decorated Christmas tree with twinkling lights in the corner of the room, about 4 feet tall
    Try This →
    Product on lifestyle background place this product centered on the marble countertop with soft studio lighting and a subtle shadow underneath
    Try This →
    Pet in a scene add a golden retriever sitting on the rug in front of the fireplace, looking at the camera with natural indoor lighting
    Try This →
    Wall art or framed photo add a large framed landscape painting centered on the blank wall above the sofa, about 3 feet wide with a thin black frame
    Try This →

  3. 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.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Add your product (with reference photo) place this product on the table in the center, matching the scene lighting and adding natural shadows
    Try This →
    Add specific item (with reference photo) add this object to the desk on the right side, scale it to match other items, with realistic shadows
    Try This →
    Desktop accessory (no reference) add a sleek silver laptop open on the desk with the screen facing slightly toward the camera, matching the room's lighting

    Wall art or framed photo add a large framed landscape painting centered on the blank wall above the sofa, about 3 feet wide with a thin black frame
    Try This →

  4. 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.

  5. 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
📷

Creative & Social Content

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic object' vs. 'illustrated object' 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 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

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 add an object to a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and describe what you want added: 'add a coffee mug on the table' or upload a reference photo of the exact object. The AI places it with matching lighting and shadows in 20-40 seconds. Free to try, no login, no watermarks.

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.

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.

What is the best free AI tool for adding objects to photos?

EditThisPic offers free AI object placement with no signup required. Unlike Photoshop compositing that requires finding stock images and manual blending, just describe what you want and where. The AI generates objects with matching perspective, lighting, and shadows automatically. Works for furniture, products, decorations, and props.

Is EditThisPic's AI object adder really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I add object on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI object adder support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.

Can I add my own product using a reference photo?

Yes, and this is the best method for product photography. Click '+ Add another image' and upload a photo of your product on a clean background. Then describe where to place it: 'put this product on the wooden table.' The AI extracts your exact product and composites it into the scene with matching lighting.

How do I make added objects look realistic with proper shadows?

Include 'with natural shadows' or 'with contact shadow underneath' in your prompt. Also mention the light direction if visible in the photo: 'matching the window light from the left.' The AI uses these cues to generate shadows that ground the object on the surface and match the scene's lighting.

Can I add text or logos to a photo with this tool?

For simple text or logos, describe what you want: 'add a neon sign saying OPEN on the wall.' For precise logos, upload the logo as a reference image and describe placement. For complex typography, the dedicated Add Text tool gives more control over fonts and positioning.

Does the AI match the perspective of added objects to the scene?

Yes. The AI analyzes the camera angle and vanishing points in your photo, then generates the object with matching perspective. Objects placed on tables appear at the correct angle, and wall-mounted items follow the room's perspective lines. Straight-on photos give the most accurate perspective matching.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
