How it works

  1. Upload your image + object reference

    Drop your main image into EditThisPic, then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload the object you want to insert. You now have both loaded: the destination image and the source object. This two-image setup is what makes the tool work for inserting a specific, real object rather than generating something generic. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB each.

    Expect: Both images upload in seconds. The AI can now extract the exact object from the reference.
  2. Review the insertion result

    Check that the object is the right size relative to other image elements, that its lighting matches the scene's direction and color temperature, and that any expected shadow is present. For marketing images, also check that the brand or product details read clearly at the intended viewing size.

  3. Adjust if needed

    If the scale is off, describe the target size: 'the product should be larger — taking up about 40% of the image height.' If lighting is off, add: 'match the cool gradient background lighting, not warm.' For marketing and ad images, these details matter more than for casual use.

    Tip: For advertising images, specify whether the product face (label, logo, screen) should be fully visible: 'front-facing, label clearly readable.'

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos for this?

Yes. To insert a specific object into an image, you need two uploads: your main destination image and a reference photo of the exact object you want to insert. Upload the main image first, then click '+ Add reference photo' for the object. The AI extracts the object from the reference and places it in the image exactly where you describe or mark.

Can I use this for product marketing images and ads?

Yes — this is a core use case. Upload your styled marketing image or banner as the main image, upload your product as the reference, describe the placement and any brand requirements (label facing, minimum size), and get a composited result in 30 seconds. Works for social media ads, e-commerce banners, website hero images, and product catalogue shots.

Will the inserted object look native to the image or obviously pasted in?

With the right prompts, the insertion looks native. The critical factors are: (1) describing the image's lighting style — 'gradient background, cool light from upper left' — so the object's highlights and shadows match, (2) requesting a contact or drop shadow, and (3) specifying scale if there are reference elements in the image. Marketing images with strong gradient backgrounds or stylized color may need one or two refinements for a perfect match.

Can I insert an object into a PNG or transparent-background image?

Yes, but transparent backgrounds may render with a white or grey fill behind the object in the composite. For the cleanest results on transparent-background images, describe the context as 'insert on a transparent background' and download as PNG to preserve transparency. If the background renders as white, regenerate with 'transparent or removed background behind the inserted object.'

How precise can the object insertion be?

Tap the exact position in the image — the AI uses this as the object's anchor point.
