How it works

  1. Upload your main photo

    Drop your group photo or scene into EditThisPic. Photos with clear space where the person should stand work best. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Single person addition: 30-45 seconds. Complex group integration: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Upload the person's reference photo

    Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt to upload a photo of the specific person you want to add. The reference photo should clearly show their face and body. Phone selfies work fine.

    Tip: For memorial photos: use a photo where your loved one looks happy and natural. The AI will preserve their likeness while matching the scene.

    Generate missing family member (no reference) add a middle-aged woman with shoulder-length brown hair standing next to the group on the right, wearing similar formal clothing, smiling naturally
  3. Describe the placement

    Tell the AI where to place them: 'add this person standing on the right side of the group, matching the casual attire.' Include position, pose, and any clothing adjustments needed. No marking needed for most placements.

    Tip: Mention lighting direction if visible: 'with light from the left side to match others.'

  4. Review and refine

    Check that the person's scale matches others, lighting is consistent, and the pose looks natural. If placement isn't perfect, tap a marker on the exact position and regenerate.

    Tip: For group photos, tap where you want the person's feet to be for accurate ground plane matching.

If something looks off

Person is the wrong size for the scene

Why: The AI misjudged the perspective and ground plane, creating a scale mismatch.

Try: add this person at the correct scale to match other people in the photo, feet on the same ground level

Tip: Use markers to indicate where the person's feet should touch the ground for accurate scaling.

Lighting on the person doesn't match the scene

Why: The generated person has different light direction than existing subjects.

Try: add this person with lighting from the left side to match the other people, with consistent shadows

Tip: Study where highlights and shadows fall on existing people and describe that direction.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific spot where you want the person to appear, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS position specifically.' Use them for precise placement.

Person looks pasted on or artificial

Why: Edge blending is off or the person doesn't interact naturally with the environment.

Try: blend this person naturally into the scene with appropriate shadows on the ground, realistic edges, and consistent lighting

Tip: Add 'natural shadow beneath them' and 'seamlessly blended edges' to your prompt.

Person's face doesn't match reference well

Why: The angle or expression in the reference photo is very different from what's needed.

Try: add this person preserving their exact facial features and likeness, facing the camera with a natural expression

Tip: Use a reference photo where the person is facing a similar direction as needed in the final image.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the person should go?

No. Just describe the position: 'add this person standing on the right side of the group.' The AI understands spatial descriptions. Use markers only for precise placement in crowded scenes.
