How it works

  1. Upload your back to school photo

    Drop any first day photo into EditThisPic. Front porch poses, backpack shots, or bus stop photos all work. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple fixes like lighting: 15-20 seconds. Background removals: 25-30 seconds.
  2. Describe what needs fixing

    Type what you want: 'remove the clutter in the background' or 'fix the harsh morning sun on their face.' Be specific about the problem. The AI understands back to school photo issues like messy backgrounds, outfit wrinkles, and unflattering lighting.

    Tip: Combine multiple fixes in one prompt: 'remove background clutter and brighten their face'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Messy house visible behind the kid remove all the clutter in the background and replace with a clean wall
    Harsh morning sunlight causing squinting fix the harsh lighting and reduce the squinting shadows on their face
    Want a school-themed background replace the background with a classic red brick school building
    Other kids photobombed the shot remove the other children in the background, keep only my kid
    4 more prompts
    Noticed a stain or wrinkle on outfit remove the stain on their shirt and smooth out the wrinkles
    Creating before/after growth comparison match the lighting and color tone to look like the other photo
    Backpack or supplies look messy straighten the backpack straps and make the supplies look neater
    Want chalkboard background with grade level replace background with a chalkboard that says First Grade
  3. Download your fixed photo

    Review your corrected first day photo and download in high resolution. Perfect for framing, sharing with grandparents, or posting to social media. If you want additional adjustments, just describe them.
