How it works

  1. Upload scene + object reference

    Drop your main photo (the scene with the target spot) into EditThisPic. Then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload a photo of the specific object you want to insert. The distinction from general adding: you're targeting a specific, defined location in the scene — a gap, a slot, a designated space. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Both photos load in seconds. You're set up to describe the exact insertion point.
  2. Check fit, scale, and integration

    Verify that the inserted object fits the space convincingly — it should match the size of adjacent objects, have consistent lighting direction, and look like it was always there. Check that it doesn't overlap neighboring items unless intentional.

  3. Refine scale and depth

    If the object is too large or too small for the slot, add scale guidance: 'insert at the same height as the neighboring items' or 'it should be slightly smaller to fit the available space.' Depth cues like 'slightly behind the front row' also help in layered arrangements.

    Tip: Mention an adjacent item for scale: 'insert this item at the same height as the bottle to its right.'

Product inserted into shelf gap

A styled pantry shelf with a visible gap between two jars — AI inserted a sauce bottle from the reference photo precisely into the gap, matching scale and the overhead kitchen lighting.

Prompt: Insert the sauce bottle from the reference photo into the gap between the two jars on the shelf.

Phone inserted into product mockup slot

A device mockup scene with an empty phone stand — AI inserted a specific phone model from a reference photo into the stand with correct perspective and screen angle.

Prompt: Take the phone from the reference photo and place it in the empty device stand. Make it face forward and match the lighting to the scene.

Book inserted into library shelf row

A library shelf with books tightly arranged but one gap — AI inserted a specific book from a reference photo into the slot, matching the perspective of the adjacent spines and the ambient library lighting.

Prompt: Insert the book from the reference photo upright into the gap on the library shelf. Make sure its spine is facing out and it matches the lighting of the surrounding books.

Quick answers

Do I need TWO photos for this?

Yes. Inserting a specific object into a photo requires two images: your main scene photo (with the target spot or gap) and a reference photo of the object you want to insert. Upload the scene first, then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload the object. The AI extracts the object from the reference and inserts it into the exact spot you describe or mark.

How is 'inserting' different from 'adding' an object?

In practice, the AI treats them the same — both composite a new object into a scene. The distinction matters in how you guide the placement. 'Insert' implies targeting a defined space (a gap on a shelf, a slot in an arrangement, a dedicated spot).

Can I insert an object between other existing objects?

Very tight gaps (less than the object's natural size) may result in the object looking slightly squeezed — describe any scale adjustment if needed.

Will the inserted object blend seamlessly?

Yes, when you describe lighting context. The AI handles edge blending automatically, but lighting matching depends on your prompt. Always describe the light direction or quality in the target area: 'with the same overhead fluorescent lighting as the other items on the shelf.' Reference photos on neutral backgrounds give the cleanest insertion edges.

What is the best reference photo for object insertion?

A clear photo of the object on a simple background (white, grey, or plain surface) with good, even lighting. The object should be the main subject of the reference photo — not a small detail in a larger scene. Front-facing or slightly angled views give the AI the most useful information for the insertion orientation. Avoid reference photos with strong directional shadows that conflict with the scene's lighting.
