How do I add a person to a group photo?
Upload your group photo to EditThisPic, then upload a clear reference photo of the person you want to add. Type 'add the person from the reference photo into this group, match the lighting and perspective,' and click Generate. The AI blends them in 15-30 seconds.
Can I add someone who wasn't actually there?
Yes — that's the main use. If a friend, family member, or colleague missed an event, you can add them to the group photo using their solo reference photo. The AI matches the lighting and perspective so they look like they were there.
Can I add a deceased loved one to a recent family photo?
Yes — this is one of the most meaningful uses. Upload the family photo, upload a clear photo of your loved one, and prompt 'add the person from the reference into this family photo, place them next to [name], match the lighting.' Take care to refine the result for emotional photos.
How good does the reference photo need to be?
Clearer is better. A well-lit, high-resolution photo of the person works best. The AI can work with older or lower-quality references, but the result will be clearer with a good reference. Try to use a reference where the person is facing forward.
Will the lighting match?
Yes, when you ask the AI to match the lighting. The AI adjusts the added person's lighting, shadows, and color temperature to match the group photo. For dramatically different lighting (e.g., bright outdoor reference into a dim indoor photo), expect a refinement pass.
Can I choose where to place the person?
Yes. Just mention the position in your prompt: 'place them on the left,' 'put them next to mom,' 'add them between the bride and groom,' 'in the back row,' etc. The AI will respect the placement instruction.
Will the rest of the group photo stay the same?
Yes. The AI only adds the new person and adjusts the immediate area for blending. The rest of the group, the background, and the overall composition remain unchanged.
