Billboard Mockup from Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your billboard photo

   Drop a photo of the real billboard, bus shelter, poster kiosk, or outdoor sign into EditThisPic. The photo should clearly show the display panel where your ad will go. Street-level shots, agency location scouting photos, and Google Street View screenshots all work. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Clear billboard photos with a visible flat display panel: 30-45 seconds. Unusual angles or complex environments like curved signage or heavy reflections may need 2-3 refinements for best results.

   Upload your ad creative as a reference image

   Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt to upload your ad design — the artwork, poster, or creative file you want placed on the billboard. This is what makes it a two-image workflow: the AI reads both your scene photo and your design, then composites them together. A flat export of your design works best; no need to pre-warp it.

   Tip: Export your ad creative at full resolution with a clean white or transparent background. The AI isolates the design automatically — no manual cropping required.

   Describe the placement

   Tell the AI where and how to place the design: 'place the ad design on the billboard display panel, matching the perspective and lighting of the scene.' Mention surface type if relevant — a wet billboard reflects differently than a matte poster. The more specific you are about lighting direction and surface material, the more realistic the result.

   Tip: Include the time-of-day lighting if it matters for your campaign: 'with golden hour side-lighting to match the scene' or 'under flat overcast daylight.'

   Review perspective and lighting match

   Zoom in to verify that the design follows the billboard's viewing angle correctly, that shadow and highlight patterns from the environment carry across the design surface, and that edges blend cleanly where the ad meets the frame or surrounding structure.
