How do I add a person to a graduation photo?
Upload your graduation photo to EditThisPic, then upload a clear reference photo of the person you want to add. Type 'add the person from the reference into this graduation photo, place them next to me, match the lighting,' and click Generate. Result in 15-30 seconds.
Can I add a deceased parent or grandparent to my graduation photo?
Yes — this is one of the most meaningful uses. Upload your graduation photo, upload a clear photo of your loved one, and prompt 'add my late [parent/grandparent] from the reference into this graduation, place them next to me, match the lighting carefully.' Many graduates add deceased loved ones to feel them present.
What if my parents live overseas and couldn't attend?
Add them. Upload a clear recent photo of your parents, prompt 'add my parents from the reference into this graduation photo, place them next to me,' and the AI blends them in. International students use this often.
Will the lighting match the graduation venue?
Yes, when you ask. Most graduation venues have either bright outdoor lighting or warm indoor auditorium lighting. Mention the lighting type ('outdoor sunny,' 'indoor auditorium') and the AI will match it. Reference photos with similar lighting blend most naturally.
Can I add multiple people to my graduation photo?
Yes, but one at a time. Add the first person, save the result, then upload the result and add the second person. Two passes give cleaner results than trying to add multiple people from multiple references at once.
How good does the reference photo need to be?
Clearer is better. A well-lit, high-resolution photo works best. For deceased loved ones, even older photos can work — the AI extracts features and adapts to current photo quality. Avoid heavily filtered or low-contrast references.
Will the cap and gown look right?
Yes. The AI doesn't put a cap and gown on the added person — they appear as they are in the reference photo. The graduate (you) keeps the cap and gown, and the added person appears in their normal clothing as a family/friend visitor.
