Scenario Prompt Time
Both cheeks, natural add natural dimples to both cheeks when smiling, medium depth 25s
Single cheek add a subtle dimple on the left cheek only 20s
Prominent dimples add deep, prominent dimples to both cheeks that show clearly when smiling 30s

How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your portrait into EditThisPic. Works best with smiling photos showing the cheeks clearly. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple dimple additions: 20-30 seconds. Natural-depth dimples usually work on the first try.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'add natural dimples to both cheeks when smiling' or 'add a dimple on the left cheek only.' Be specific about placement and depth. No marking needed—the AI understands facial anatomy and natural dimple placement.

    Tip: Specify 'subtle' or 'prominent' dimples to control depth and visibility

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Classic bilateral dimples add natural dimples to both cheeks when smiling, medium depth

    Single cheek dimple add a subtle dimple on the left cheek only
    Try This →
    Prominent smile dimples add deep, prominent dimples to both cheeks that show clearly when smiling
    Try This →
    Subtle natural dimples add very subtle dimples to both cheeks, barely noticeable
    Try This →
    3 more prompts
    Chin dimple (cleft) add a natural chin dimple (cleft) in the center of the chin
    Try This →
    Dimples with natural shadowing add natural dimples to both cheeks with realistic shadow and muscle contour
    Try This →
    High cheekbone dimples add dimples positioned high on the cheekbones when smiling
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Click Generate and watch AI add dimples with natural shadowing and muscle contours. Check depth, placement, and symmetry at full zoom. Dimples should look like natural facial features.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If dimple placement needs adjustment or you want them in very specific spots, tap markers on those exact locations and regenerate. This is optional—most edits work without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Home & Interior Design

Preview how dimples would look in a room or space before committing to a purchase or renovation.

Common Scenarios

  • Visualizing dimples in a living room, bedroom, or office before buying
  • Creating client mockups that show dimples in their actual space
  • Comparing different placements of dimples 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 dimples 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 dimples to create eye-catching content for social media, digital art, or personal projects.

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Be specific about the style — 'realistic dimples' vs. 'illustrated dimples' 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 dimples into marketing materials, presentations, and product catalogs without expensive photo shoots.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding dimples to product mockups and marketing banners
  • Creating presentation slides that show dimples in context
  • Building a catalog of variations that feature dimples 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 dimples
  • Generate multiple versions and A/B test which placement performs best in ads

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or added dimples in unexpected places

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly where you wanted dimples from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap markers on the exact spots where you want dimples, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS spot specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Dimples look too deep or too shallow

Why: AI interpreted 'natural' depth differently than you expected.

Try: Add depth descriptors: 'add subtle dimples' or 'add deep prominent dimples'
Try This →

Tip: Try adjusting your prompt wording if the first result isn't perfect — small changes make a big difference.

Dimples look fake or like indentations

Why: Missing natural shadow and muscle contour that real dimples have.

Try: Add 'with realistic shadow and muscle contour' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Include 'keep natural texture and detail' in your prompt to avoid over-processing.

Dimples are not symmetric

Why: Natural dimples are often slightly asymmetric, or the photo angle affects placement.

Try: Try 'add perfectly symmetric dimples' or use markers to place them exactly
Try This →

Tip: Slight asymmetry often looks more natural

Dimples don't show up on non-smiling photo

Why: Real dimples only appear when cheek muscles contract during smiling.

Try: Dimples work best on smiling photos. For neutral expressions, try 'add subtle dimple indentations'
Try This →

Tip: Try adjusting your prompt wording if the first result isn't perfect — small changes make a big difference.

Face shape changed or cheeks look different

Why: AI modified more of the face than intended.

Try: Be more specific: 'add small dimples only, don't change face shape or cheeks'
Try This →

Tip: Try adjusting the prompt if the first result isn't perfect — small wording changes make a big difference.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the cheek areas before describing where I want dimples?

No! Just describe where you want dimples: 'add dimples to both cheeks' or 'add a dimple on the left cheek.' The AI understands facial anatomy and natural dimple placement. Only use markers when you need precision—like placing dimples in very specific spots or refining after your first attempt.

How do I add realistic dimples to a photo for free?

Upload your smiling photo to EditThisPic and type 'add natural dimples to both cheeks when smiling.' The AI adds realistic dimples with proper depth and shadowing in 20-30 seconds. Completely free, no signup required.

Will the dimples look natural or obviously fake?

The AI analyzes facial muscle structure, lighting, and natural dimple anatomy to create realistic indentations with proper shadows. On smiling photos with good lighting, results are virtually indistinguishable from real dimples.

Can I add dimples to a photo where I'm not smiling?

Dimples work best on smiling photos because that's when real dimples naturally appear. On neutral expressions, you can try 'add subtle dimple indentations' but they may look less natural since facial muscles aren't contracted.

What's the best dimple placement for natural-looking results?

The AI defaults to natural placement (outer corner of the mouth, slightly above). For best results, use 'add natural dimples' and let the AI choose anatomically correct positioning.

Is EditThisPic's AI dimples adder really free?
