How it works

  1. Before — upload the scene

    Choose the main picture and identify an open, believable placement area.

    Expect: This scene remains the baseline for every revision.
  2. Add the reference person

    Upload a clear reference photo you have permission to use.

    Expect: A similar camera angle and visible face reduce avoidable reconstruction.
  3. Version 1 — place and blend

    Name the position, approximate scale, pose, and light direction.

    Tip: Version 1 prompt: Add the reference person at the right end of the group, match height, perspective, and warm light; keep everyone else unchanged.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Version 1 — place the person add the person from the reference at the right end of the group; match height, perspective, and warm light; keep everyone else unchanged
    Version 2 — scale and spacing only keep this version; make only the added person slightly shorter and move them one step closer to the group
    Final — light and edge lock preserve all people and positions; soften only the added person's hair edge and match the warm light from the left
    Family or graduation group add the reference person in the open space beside the group, match their scale to people at the same distance, and preserve every existing person
    2 more prompts
    Seated placement add the reference person sitting in the empty chair, match the chair perspective, body scale, and shadow direction
    Black-and-white scene add the reference person to the left side and match the original black-and-white tone, contrast, grain, focus, and lighting
  4. Version 2 — correct only scale or pose

    Keep version 1 and adjust one relationship to the people or objects nearby.

    Tip: Version 2 prompt: Keep this version; make only the added person slightly shorter and move them one step closer to the group.
  5. Final — match light and edges

    Use one final request for shadow direction, color temperature, hair edges, or focus.

    Tip: Final prompt: Preserve all people and positions; soften only the added person's hair edge and match the warm light from the left.

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos for this?

Yes — this task needs two photos. Upload your main picture (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 the real person and composite them into your main picture. Without the reference, it can only generate a description-based person.

How do I add someone to a picture for free?

Go to EditThisPic, drop your main picture in, click '+ Add reference photo' to upload the person, then type placement instructions. The AI composites them in with matched lighting and scale in about 30 seconds. Completely free to try — no account, no signup. The free edit is a preview — purchased downloads are clean, full quality.

Can I add someone to a picture without Photoshop?

Yes. EditThisPic is specifically designed for people without Photoshop skills. Instead of manual masking and blending (which can take hours), you just upload two photos and describe the placement. The AI handles all the technical work in 30 seconds.

How do I combine two pictures with different people?

Upload your main picture, then click '+ Add reference photo' to add the second picture with the person you want. Describe placement: 'add this person standing on the right side.' The AI extracts the person from the reference and composites them naturally into your main picture.

What quality reference photo do I need?

A phone selfie works fine. The person should be clearly visible and reasonably large in the frame — not tiny in the background. Their face should be visible and not heavily obscured. The background of the reference picture doesn't matter at all; the AI extracts only the person.

What are the limits when adding someone to a picture?

The tool cannot guarantee an exact likeness, pose, body shape, or hidden detail. Results are less reliable when the reference is blurry, the camera angles conflict, the placement area is crowded, or hands and bodies must overlap. Use a cleared reference photo and revise scale, pose, lighting, and edges one at a time.
