How it works

Upload your fireplace photo

Drop a photo of your fireplace into EditThisPic. Straight-on shots showing the full surround from mantel to hearth give the best results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Standard fireplace composite: 20-30 seconds. Floor-to-ceiling stone walls: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe the stone veneer you want

Upload your stone veneer sample as a reference image, then type your instruction: 'apply this stone veneer to the fireplace surround' or 'cover the brick with this stacked stone.' The AI uses your sample photo and composites it onto the fireplace. No marking needed — the AI knows what 'fireplace surround' means.

Tip: Specify the coverage area — 'surround only,' 'mantel to hearth,' or 'floor to ceiling including the chimney breast' — so the AI applies stone exactly where you want it.

Copy one of these to get started:

Stacked stone surround apply this stacked stone veneer to the fireplace surround from mantel to hearth, keeping the mantel shelf and firebox opening unchanged
Try This →

Floor-to-ceiling stone wall cover the entire fireplace wall with this stone veneer from floor to ceiling, including the chimney breast above the mantel
Try This →

Replace dated brick replace the red brick fireplace surround with this gray ledger stone veneer, keeping the existing wood mantel
Try This →

Stone with shiplap combo apply this stone veneer to the lower half of the fireplace surround below the mantel, keeping the upper portion as-is
Try This →

River rock fireplace composite this river rock stone onto the fireplace surround, covering the entire face with natural rounded stones
Try This →

Thin stone with modern lines apply this thin-cut slate veneer to the fireplace surround in a clean horizontal stack with tight joints
Try This →

Hearth extension apply this stone veneer to the fireplace surround and extend it across the hearth and raised hearth seat
Try This →
Review the composite

Check that the stone texture looks natural, scales correctly to the fireplace size, and the composite preserves the mantel shelf, firebox opening, and hearth. Use the before/after slider to compare.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI applied stone to the wall next to the fireplace or covered the mantel shelf, tap markers on the correct fireplace surround area and regenerate. This is optional — most fireplace composites work without markers.

Tip: Markers help when the fireplace blends into the surrounding wall — tap the surround area specifically if the AI can't distinguish it from the adjacent wall.

"Previewed 3 stone veneer options on my dated brick fireplace before the contractor even came for the estimate. Walked in knowing exactly what I wanted and the quote was $2K less because we skipped the back-and-forth." @LivingRoomReno_Kate

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Fireplace Makeover Planning

Preview stone veneer options on your existing fireplace before purchasing materials or hiring a contractor.

Common Scenarios

Comparing stacked stone vs fieldstone vs river rock on your dated brick fireplace
Testing how light stone looks against dark walls or vice versa
Previewing a floor-to-ceiling stone feature wall vs surround-only coverage

Best Practices

Photograph your fireplace straight-on from the center of the room for the most realistic composite
If you want to keep the mantel, mention it explicitly in your prompt
Run composites with 3-4 stone options and save results for comparison

📷

Contractor Estimate Preparation

Show your contractor exactly what you want before the estimate visit, eliminating ambiguity and speeding up the quoting process.

Common Scenarios

Creating a visual reference for stone veneer installation quotes
Demonstrating the exact stone type and coverage area to contractors
Comparing cost-effective veneer options vs full stone installation

Best Practices

Match your sample photo to an actual product the supplier carries
Include coverage area in the composite — surround only vs full wall
Save the composite image to share with contractors during estimates

📷

Real Estate Listing Enhancement

Show buyers how a stone fireplace upgrade would transform the living room in listing photos.

Common Scenarios

Staging a dated brick fireplace with modern stone for MLS photos
Creating renovation potential visualizations for marketing materials
Showing the ROI of a fireplace makeover in listing presentations

Best Practices

Use universally appealing stone — gray stacked or white ledger stone photographs well
Always disclose that stone visualizations are AI-generated per local regulations
Pair with other room upgrades — paint, flooring — for a complete transformation preview

If something looks off

AI covered the mantel shelf with stone

Why: The AI treated the entire fireplace face as one surface and didn't distinguish the mantel shelf.

Try: Add 'keeping the existing mantel shelf visible and uncovered' to your prompt and regenerate

Try This →

Tip: If you want stone everywhere including the mantel, say 'including the mantel.' If you want to keep it, explicitly say 'keeping the mantel.'

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. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Stone texture scale looks wrong — stones are too big or too small

Why: The AI estimated stone piece dimensions that don't match real veneer proportions relative to the fireplace.

Try: Add size context: 'ledger stone panels approximately 6 inches tall' or 'large fieldstone pieces'

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning approximate stone piece size gives the AI a scale reference for realistic proportions.

Stone applied to the wall adjacent to the fireplace

Why: The AI extended stone beyond the fireplace surround onto the flanking walls.

Try: Tap markers on the fireplace surround only, then add 'only on the fireplace surround, not the adjacent walls'

Try This →

Tip: Specifying 'surround only' or mentioning exact boundaries like 'between the two built-in shelves' prevents spillover.

Composite looks flat — no depth or shadow in the stone

Why: The AI rendered the stone as a flat texture instead of maintaining the 3D depth of real veneer.

Try: Add 'with natural depth, shadows between stones, and dimensional texture' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Stacked stone has visible depth and shadow. Including 'dimensional' or '3D texture' in your prompt helps the AI render realistic relief.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the fireplace before describing what stone I want?

No! Just describe what you want: 'apply this stone to the fireplace surround.' The AI understands 'fireplace surround' and targets that area. Only use markers if the AI applies stone to the wrong area.

Can I preview different stone options on the same fireplace?

Yes. Upload your fireplace photo once, then swap in different stone sample reference images. Compare stacked stone vs fieldstone vs thin-cut slate on your actual fireplace before choosing materials.

Is there a free fireplace stone visualizer that doesn't require signup?

Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed. Upload your fireplace photo and stone sample, describe where to apply it, and get a realistic preview in 30 seconds. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99.

Can I keep my existing mantel and just change the stone?

Yes. Add 'keeping the existing mantel shelf in place' to your prompt. The AI changes the stone surround while preserving the mantel, firebox opening, and hearth exactly as they are.

Does it work on painted brick fireplaces?

Yes. Whether your fireplace is raw brick, painted brick, drywall, tile, or any other material, the AI can composite stone veneer over it. Just describe what you want replaced.

Can I preview stone that goes floor to ceiling?

Yes. Specify 'from floor to ceiling including the chimney breast' in your prompt. The AI extends the stone composite across the full wall height, not just the surround area.

What's the best way to photograph my stone veneer sample?

Photograph the sample from a few feet back in even, natural light so the full texture and depth are visible. Include multiple stone pieces if possible so the AI can see the pattern variation.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser. Take a photo of your fireplace and stone sample from your phone, upload both, and preview the composite instantly. No app download needed.
