How it works
-
1
Upload your photo
Drop the family or group photo into EditThisPic — the scene you want the baby to appear in. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Photos with clear lighting and defined subjects work best for natural-looking composites.
Expect: Baby insertion typically completes in 20-45 seconds. Scenes with complex holds (baby in arms, baby on lap) may need one refinement to get the pose right. -

Describe the baby's placement
Type your instruction clearly: "add a sleeping newborn being cradled in the woman's arms on the right, baby wrapped in a white swaddle, soft warm light." The more you describe the baby's position and relationship to the people in the photo, the better the composite will integrate. Mention approximate age if it matters — 'newborn,' 'three-month-old,' '6-month-old sitting up' all give very different results.
Tip: Describe how the baby interacts with the people in the photo — 'held by,' 'sitting in front of,' 'lying between.' Relationships are the key to a believable composite; the AI uses them to get the hold pose and size correct.Copy one of these to get started:

Review the composite
Check that the baby looks age-appropriate and correctly scaled relative to the adults or children nearby. Verify skin tone and lighting match the rest of the photo. Use the before/after slider to see the full before and after side-by-side.
Quick answers
How do I insert a baby into a photo with AI?
Upload your family photo to EditThisPic, then describe where to place the baby — position, age, and how they relate to the people nearby (like 'held by the mother' or 'sitting between the siblings'). The AI composites the baby in 20-45 seconds with matched lighting and skin tones. Free, no account required.
Is there a free tool to add a baby to a family photo without Photoshop?
Yes. EditThisPic lets you composite a baby into any photo free to preview with one edit per week — no account, no Photoshop, and clean paid downloads. Describe what you want in plain English and the AI handles the technical work.
Can I insert a baby that doesn't exist in any photo I have?
Yes. You can describe the baby entirely in text — age, skin tone, hair color, and clothing — and the AI will generate a realistic baby to composite into the scene. This is common for conceptual family photos, birth announcements, and holiday cards.
Will the baby's skin tone match the family?
EditThisPic AI tries to match the visual context of the scene, but you can improve accuracy by explicitly writing 'with skin tone matching the other family members' in your prompt. For very specific complexions, describing it directly gives the best results.
What's the best way to make the baby look like they're being held?
Describe the hold type specifically — 'cradled horizontally in the mother's arms,' 'held against the father's chest,' or 'sitting on the grandmother's lap.' The more specific your hold description, the more natural the AI's positioning will look.
Can I use this for birth announcements and holiday cards?
Absolutely. This tool is popular for birth announcements (inserting a newborn into a couple's portrait before the baby arrives or when a shoot was missed) and for holiday cards where family members couldn't attend the original shoot.
How much does EditThisPic cost?
You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs start at $4.99 for 10 edits, valid 12 months, no subscription. Power users who edit daily can pick Studio Membership, a monthly workspace at $49.99/mo for 300 edits. Purchased downloads are clean with no watermark.
