Composite Architectural Rendering on Site from Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your site photo

   Drop your photo of the real building site, existing structure, or street view into EditThisPic. This is the main image — the location where the rendering will appear. Use a well-framed photo that shows the site from the angle matching your rendering. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Simple facade overlay: 30 seconds. Complex multi-building compositions with perspective matching: may need 2-3 refinements.
2. 2

   Add your rendering as reference

   Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload your architectural rendering, concept sketch, or 3D visualization. Clean renderings with transparent or solid backgrounds composite most cleanly. The AI extracts the design and maps it onto the site photo, matching scale and perspective.

   Tip: Renderings with transparent backgrounds or clean edges composite best. If your render has a background scene, the AI will still extract the building form.

   New building rendering on vacant lot composite this building rendering from the reference onto the vacant lot, matching the street-level perspective, with the ground floor at sidewalk grade and realistic shadow matching the sun direction in the site photo

   Facade renovation on existing building overlay this facade rendering from the reference onto the front of the existing building, aligning windows and doors to the current floor levels, preserving the adjacent buildings on both sides

   Building extension on current structure composite this extension rendering from the reference onto the right side of the existing building, connecting seamlessly at the roofline and matching the brick material tone of the original structure

   Development rendering for investor presentation place this tower rendering from the reference on the development site, rising behind the existing two-story retail strip, at correct scale with the surrounding buildings and casting a realistic shadow on the street

   Streetscape rendering for community presentation overlay this streetscape rendering from the reference onto the existing street view, replacing the empty lot with the proposed building while preserving the existing trees, sidewalks, and neighboring buildings

   Landscape design rendering on current site composite this landscape rendering from the reference onto the current site, replacing the empty ground area with the proposed garden, pathways, and plantings while keeping the existing building in the background

   Describe the placement

   Tell the AI exactly how to composite: 'place the building rendering from the reference onto the vacant lot, matching the street-level perspective and afternoon sunlight direction.' Be specific about where on the site and how the design should integrate with the existing context.

   Tip: Include 'matching the existing roofline height' or 'aligned with the adjacent building facade' to anchor the rendering to real site features.

   Review and refine

   Check that the rendering integrates naturally: correct scale relative to surrounding buildings, consistent lighting direction, proper ground contact, and realistic perspective alignment. Zoom in on where the rendering meets the existing streetscape and ground plane.
