Scenario Prompt Time
Add person to group add the person from photo 2 into photo 1, match lighting 30s
Double exposure create a double exposure effect blending photo 1 and photo 2 25s
Background swap keep person from photo 1, replace background with photo 2 25s

How it works

  1. Upload your base photo

    Drop the photo that will be the foundation - the background or main scene you want to add to. This becomes 'photo 1' in your prompt. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple merges: 20-30 seconds. Complex composites with multiple elements: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Add the second photo

    Click '+ Add reference image' and upload the photo containing what you want to merge in - a person, object, or scene to blend. This becomes 'photo 2.' The AI will extract elements from this photo.

    Tip: Choose photos with similar lighting for the most natural merge. Outdoor + outdoor or indoor + indoor work best.

    Try This →
    Product composite place the product from photo 2 onto the table in photo 1, add realistic shadow and match lighting
    Try This →

  3. Describe the merge

    Tell the AI how to combine them: 'add the person from photo 2 into photo 1 on the left side' or 'blend these photos together with a double exposure effect.' Be specific about what to take from each photo.

    Tip: Reference 'photo 1' and 'photo 2' explicitly so the AI knows which is the base and which is the source.

  4. Review and refine

    Check that edges blend naturally, lighting matches, and the composition looks right. If something looks off, describe the specific fix or use markers on problem areas.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Family & Group Photos

Combine family members from different photos into one complete group portrait.

Common Scenarios

  • Adding someone who couldn't attend a family event
  • Combining the best expressions from multiple group shots
  • Creating memorial photos with loved ones who passed away

Best Practices

  • Use photos from the same day for matching clothing and lighting
  • Position added people at the edges of groups for natural placement
  • Describe clothing adjustments if needed to match the scene
📷

Creative & Artistic Effects

Create artistic effects like double exposures, dreamy overlays, and surreal composites.

Common Scenarios

  • Double exposure portrait blended with nature
  • Artistic overlay of two scenes
  • Surreal composite images

Best Practices

  • Describe the effect clearly: 'double exposure' or 'transparent overlay'
  • Specify which photo should be dominant
  • Experiment with different blending descriptions for unique results
📷

Product & E-commerce

Place products into lifestyle scenes for professional-looking e-commerce photos.

Common Scenarios

  • Placing a product onto a styled background
  • Creating lifestyle shots from studio product photos
  • Building mockups and preview images

Best Practices

  • Match perspective between product and scene photos
  • Add 'with realistic shadow' for grounded objects
  • Specify exact placement: 'on the table,' 'in the center'

If something looks off

Merged element looks pasted on, not natural

Why: The AI didn't properly blend edges or match lighting between the two photos.

Try: add the element from photo 2 into photo 1, blend edges seamlessly and match the lighting direction from photo 1
Try This →

Tip: Explicitly mentioning 'blend edges' and 'match lighting' triggers more careful compositing.

Person/object is wrong size

Why: The scale between the two photos wasn't automatically adjusted.

Try: add the element from photo 2 into photo 1, scale to match the other people/objects in photo 1
Try This →

Tip: Mention 'scale to match' or give relative size: 'should be same height as the person on the right.'

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 element placed, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

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

Wrong part of photo 2 was used

Why: The AI wasn't sure which element you wanted to extract from photo 2.

Try: Take ONLY the person from photo 2 and add it to photo 1, ignore everything else in photo 2
Try This →

Tip: Be very specific: 'only the person,' 'just the dog,' 'the product in the center.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark anything to merge photos?

No! Just describe what you want: 'add the person from photo 2 into photo 1 on the left.' The AI understands which elements to extract and where to place them. Use markers only for precise placement in complex scenes.
