Put Your Face on a Painting

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the painting or artwork

   Drop your target painting into EditThisPic — a screenshot of a Renaissance portrait, a movie poster, a classical artwork, or any painting you want your face placed into. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. A clear view of the subject's face in the painting produces the cleanest result.

   Expect: Simple single-subject painting: 30-45 seconds. Complex movie poster with stylized text and effects: may need 2-3 refinements for full blending.

   Add your selfie as the reference image

   Click '+ Add reference image' below the prompt to upload your portrait or selfie. This is the two-image workflow: the main upload is the painting, and your face photo is the reference. The AI reads your facial features from the reference and places them onto the painting's subject. A well-lit, front-facing photo where your face is clearly visible works best.

   Tip: Use a selfie where you're facing the same direction as the painting's subject — slightly to the left or right of camera matches angled portraits better than a full-on front pose.

   Describe the face placement

   Type your instruction in the prompt box: 'put the face from the reference photo onto the painting subject, preserving the painterly oil texture and lighting.' You can specify pose, expression, or style: 'serious expression matching the nobleman's demeanor' or 'match the warm Rembrandt lighting of the original.'

   Tip: Include the painting style in your prompt — 'oil painting texture,' 'Renaissance portrait style,' 'movie poster graphic style' — so the result looks like it belongs in the artwork rather than pasted on top.
