AI Graduation Photo Editor

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your graduation photo

   Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with ceremony candids, posed portraits, group shots, and cap-toss photos. Even phone photos taken in poor conditions can be improved significantly.

   Expect: Background replacement or lighting fix: 30-40 seconds. Complex edits like adding regalia or fixing group photos: 45-60 seconds and may need refinements.

   Describe the graduation photo edit

   Type your instruction: 'replace the background with a beautiful campus building and green lawn' or 'fix the harsh shadows on the cap and gown and make the lighting even.' Be specific about what you want changed—background, lighting, colors, or all of the above. No marking needed—the AI understands graduation photo elements like 'cap,' 'gown,' and 'tassel.'

   Tip: Mention specific campus elements like 'brick building with columns' or 'green quad with trees' for the most realistic graduation backdrops.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Campus background replacement replace the background with a beautiful university campus with a brick building, white columns, and manicured green lawn on a sunny day

   Review the edit

   Check that the graduation attire looks natural, the background is believable, and the lighting is consistent between the subject and the new setting. Verify that the cap sits naturally and the gown drapes properly.

   Refine with markers if needed

   If the tassel, cap edges, or gown details need adjustment, or the background transition looks rough around the shoulders, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Most graduation photo edits look great on the first try.

   Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.
