How it works

Upload the wall photo

Drop a photo of the wall or building exterior into EditThisPic. This is the main image — the surface where the mural will appear. Photograph the wall straight-on for best results, capturing the full area where the mural will go. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple flat wall composites: 30 seconds. Textured surfaces or complex building angles: may need 2-3 refinements.
Add your mural design as reference

Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt and upload your mural design, street art concept, or wall painting artwork. Digital illustrations, hand-drawn sketches, and graphic designs all work. The AI maps the design onto the wall surface, conforming to the wall's texture and perspective.

Tip: Designs with transparent or solid backgrounds composite most cleanly. If your design has a busy background, crop it tightly to just the mural artwork.

Describe the placement

Tell the AI how to composite: 'paint the mural from the reference across the entire wall surface, conforming to the brick texture and matching the outdoor lighting.' Specify which part of the wall and how the design should wrap around architectural features like windows or doors.

Tip: Include 'conforming to wall texture' or 'following the brick pattern' to make the mural look painted on rather than pasted flat.

Review and refine

Check that the mural looks painted onto the wall — not floating in front of it. Verify it follows the wall texture, wraps around any architectural features correctly, and the lighting matches the outdoor scene. Zoom in on edges where the mural meets windows, doors, or wall boundaries.
Refine with markers if needed

If the mural lands on the wrong section of wall or spills over windows, tap a marker on the exact wall area where it should appear and regenerate. Useful for buildings with multiple wall surfaces or when you want the mural on a specific section.

Tip: Tap corners of the target wall area to define the mural boundary precisely. This prevents the design from wrapping onto adjacent surfaces.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Mural Artists & Street Art Studios

Show clients exactly how your mural design will look on their wall before you start painting. Upload the client's wall photo, composite your design, and send a professional proposal in minutes instead of spending hours in Photoshop.

Common Scenarios

Mural proposal composited onto restaurant exterior for client review

Abstract mural concept shown on office lobby wall for corporate client
Multi-panel mural design mapped across building facade for permit application

Best Practices

Photograph the wall straight-on to minimize perspective distortion in the composite
Include 'conforming to wall texture' in your prompt so the mural looks painted, not printed
For brick walls, add 'following the mortar lines and surface irregularities' for realism
Create multiple versions showing different design options on the same wall for client comparison

Mural proposal for restaurant client

composite this mural design from the reference across the brick wall surface, conforming to the wall texture and mortar lines, as if painted directly onto the bricks with outdoor lighting matching the scene

Street art concept for festival submission

paint the street art design from the reference onto the warehouse wall, covering the area between the door and the corner, with realistic spray paint texture on the concrete surface

📷

Commercial Property Branding

Community & Public Art Projects

Preview public art proposals on actual community walls for grant applications, city review boards, and neighborhood presentations. Composite your mural design onto the real building or structure where it will be painted, giving reviewers a realistic visualization of the finished project.

Common Scenarios

Public art mural composited onto community center wall for grant application
Youth art project design previewed on school exterior for principal approval
Neighborhood beautification mural shown on underpass wall for city review
Cultural heritage mural mapped onto historic building for preservation board

Best Practices

Photograph the site from the perspective viewers will most commonly see it
Include the surrounding environment to show how the mural fits the neighborhood context
For grant applications, create multiple angle composites showing the mural from different viewpoints
Add 'at street level as a pedestrian would see it' for human-scale visualization

Public art proposal for city review board

composite this community mural design from the reference onto the concrete underpass wall, covering the full surface between the pillars, with the design conforming to the rough concrete texture

Youth art project for school approval

paint the cultural mural from the reference onto the school gymnasium exterior wall, matching the outdoor lighting and showing how the colors interact with the existing red brick surface

If something looks off

Mural looks flat and pasted on instead of painted

Why: The AI rendered the design as a flat overlay instead of conforming it to the wall surface texture, making it look like a printed poster rather than paint.

Try:

composite the mural design conforming to the wall texture, following the surface irregularities, mortar lines, and grain as if painted directly onto the surface with a brush

Try This →

Tip: Always include 'conforming to wall texture' or 'as if hand-painted onto the surface.' Without this, the AI defaults to a flat overlay.

Mural covers windows, doors, or architectural features

Why: The AI treated the entire wall as a flat canvas and painted over architectural elements instead of working around them.

Try:

paint the mural around the windows and doors, leaving them clear, with the design flowing naturally around architectural features

Try This →

Tip: Mention specific obstacles: 'wrapping around the two windows and stopping at the door frame' gives the AI clear boundaries.

Mural scale doesn't match the wall

Why: The AI misjudged the relative size between your design image and the wall surface, making the mural too small or stretched too large.

Try:

composite the mural at correct scale relative to the building — the design should span from the ground to the second-floor window line in height

Try This →

Tip: Reference real architectural elements for scale: 'the figure in the mural should be about door-height' or 'spanning two stories.'

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

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which wall section you meant from description alone. This happens with buildings that have multiple wall surfaces.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific wall area where you want the mural placed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS wall specifically.' Use them when a building has multiple visible surfaces.

Mural colors look washed out or too saturated on the wall

Why: The wall surface and lighting conditions change how paint colors appear. Concrete absorbs color differently than smooth surfaces, and harsh sunlight can wash out tones.

Try:

composite the mural with colors adjusted for the outdoor lighting and wall surface absorption, maintaining vibrancy as paint would appear on this surface material

Try This →

Tip: Specify the surface: 'vibrant on concrete' produces different results than 'vivid on white stucco.' The AI adjusts saturation accordingly.

Mural perspective doesn't match the wall angle

Why: The design was composited without accounting for the camera's angle to the wall, making the mural look distorted or skewed.

Try:

composite the mural matching the wall's perspective and vanishing point, with the design foreshortened correctly for the camera angle

Try This →

Tip: Photograph the wall as straight-on as possible for the simplest composites. Angled shots require more perspective correction.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the wall area before describing where to place the mural?

No. Describe the placement in words: 'composite the mural onto the brick wall' or 'paint the design across the building facade.' The AI understands spatial references like 'between the windows' and 'from ground to roofline.' Use markers only when a building has multiple wall surfaces and the AI keeps choosing the wrong one.

How do I show a client what a mural will look like on their wall?

Photograph the client's wall or building. Upload it as the main image in EditThisPic, then click '+ Add reference image' and upload your mural design. Type 'composite the mural from the reference onto the wall, conforming to the surface texture' and the AI generates a realistic preview in 30 seconds. Send the result to your client for approval before you start painting.

Is there a free tool to preview murals on buildings without signup?

Yes. EditThisPic lets you composite mural designs onto real wall photos completely free, with no signup and no watermark. Upload the building photo and your mural artwork, describe the placement, and download the result. One free edit per week, or purchase credits starting at $1.99 for more.

How is this different from the place-artwork-on-wall tool?

The place-artwork-on-wall tool composites framed artwork onto interior walls — think hanging a painting in a living room. This tool composites murals painted directly onto wall surfaces — think street art on a building exterior. This tool conforms the design to wall texture, brick patterns, and concrete surfaces. Use this for murals, street art, and wall paintings. Use the other for framed prints and canvas art.

What kind of mural design file works best as a reference image?

Digital illustrations, vector artwork, and high-resolution design files on transparent or solid backgrounds work best. Hand-drawn sketches also composite well if they are photographed clearly with good contrast. Avoid designs with busy backgrounds — crop tightly to just the mural artwork, or remove the background first. Higher resolution preserves detail on large wall surfaces.

Can I composite a mural that wraps around corners or architectural features?

Yes. Describe the wrap in your prompt: 'composite the mural wrapping around the building corner, continuing from the front wall to the side wall.' For architectural features like windows and doors, add 'flowing around the windows and leaving them clear.' Complex wraps may need 2-3 refinements, but the AI handles most corner wraps and obstacle avoidance well.

Will the mural preview look realistic enough for a client proposal or city review?

When done well, yes. The AI matches the wall texture, perspective, and outdoor lighting automatically. Include 'conforming to wall texture' in your prompt for the most realistic results. Most mural artists find the composites convincing enough for client proposals, grant applications, and city review board submissions — especially when the wall photo is shot straight-on with clear lighting.

What is the best free AI tool for mural wall visualization?

EditThisPic handles mural-on-wall compositing well for a free tool. Unlike 3D rendering software that requires modeling the building geometry, you just upload two photos and describe the placement. It conforms the design to wall texture, matches perspective, and adjusts lighting automatically. Free to try with no account required.
