How it works

  1. Upload your two photos

    Drop your main photo into EditThisPic — this is the scene you want to keep. Then click '+ Add reference photo' below the prompt box to upload the photo of the specific person you want to add. Both uploads are required for this task.

    Expect: JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB per photo. Photos with clear space where the person should stand work best.
  2. Describe who to add and where

    Type where you want the person placed and how they should look: 'add this person standing on the right side of the group, matching the casual attire and outdoor lighting.' The AI reads the reference photo to identify who to add, and your description to determine placement.

    Tip: Include a position anchor like 'on the right,' 'next to the woman in blue,' or 'in the gap at the left end' so the AI places them precisely.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Add someone from reference photo to a group add this person standing on the right side of the group, scale them to match the others, blend naturally with matching lighting
    Add someone who missed a family event add this person at the right end of the family lineup, wearing similar casual attire, smiling and facing the camera like the others, matching the outdoor lighting
    Add someone to a different scene add the person from the reference photo into this beach scene, standing naturally in the middle ground, with appropriate shadows on the sand
    Add someone to a wedding party add this person at the end of the wedding party lineup, wearing formal attire matching the bridal party, same pose with hands clasped, outdoor lighting
    2 more prompts
    Add a deceased loved one to a family photo add this person standing behind the family with a gentle, peaceful expression, matching the warm indoor lighting, naturally blended into the scene
    Add someone to a team photo add this person at the right end of the team lineup, wearing the same company t-shirt as the others, neutral office lighting, matching the slight smile of the rest of the group
  3. Generate and review the result

    Check that the added person's scale matches everyone else in the photo. Look at shadow direction, lighting consistency, and whether the blending at the edges looks natural. Most results are ready in 30-45 seconds.

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos for this?

Yes — this task requires two photos. First, upload your main photo (the scene you want to keep). Then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload a photo of the specific person you want to add. The AI uses the reference to identify and composite the real person into your main photo. Without the reference, the AI can only generate a generic description-based person.

How do I add someone to a photo for free?

Upload your main photo to EditThisPic, click '+ Add reference photo' to upload the person you want to add, then describe the placement: 'add this person standing on the right side of the group.' The AI composites them in about 30 seconds with matched lighting and scale. Free to try, no account or signup needed, no watermark on the result.

Is there a free tool to add someone to a photo without signup?

Yes. EditThisPic adds people to photos for free with no account needed. Upload your main photo, add a reference photo of the person, describe the placement, and download the result with no watermark. Works in any browser on desktop or mobile.

Can I add someone who passed away to a family photo?

Yes, and many families find this deeply meaningful. Upload a photo of your loved one as the reference image, then describe where you'd like them placed. The AI preserves their likeness while matching the scene's lighting and style. Works well for memorial displays, holiday cards, and family portraits.

What makes a good reference photo?

Use a clear photo where the person's face is well-lit and visible. Phone selfies work fine. The person should be reasonably large in the frame (not tiny in the background), their face should be unobscured, and the photo shouldn't be extremely blurry. The reference photo's background doesn't matter — the AI extracts only the person.
