How it works

Upload your photo

Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better person into group photo results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe your edit

Type what you want: 'insert the person from the reference photo into this group photo.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

Tip: Upload the person you want to add as a reference image for seamless insertion.

Copy one of these to get started:

Add to end of group insert the person from reference at the right end of this group photo
Try This →

Add between two people insert the person from reference between the second and third person in the group
Try This →

Add to back row insert the person from reference into the back row of this group, between the tallest people
Try This →

Seated group addition insert the person from reference seated at the end of this row
Try This →

4 more prompts

Try This →

Try This →

Family photo addition insert the person from reference next to the family on the left side, matching the casual outdoor lighting
Try This →

Try This →
Review the result

Use the before/after slider to compare results. Check that the person into group photo edit blends naturally with surrounding areas — look for consistent lighting, color matching, and clean edges throughout.
Refine if needed

If any areas need fine-tuning, tap markers on those specific spots and describe what to fix. The AI can adjust individual regions without redoing the entire edit — useful for perfecting person into group photo details in tricky areas.

Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Family & Event Photos

Add a missing family member to holiday photos, reunion pictures, or event shots where someone couldn't attend or was behind the camera.

Common Scenarios

Adding a family member who was taking the photo into the group shot
Including someone who arrived late to a wedding or graduation group photo
Combining separate photos so distant family members appear together

Best Practices

Use a reference photo with similar lighting — both indoor or both outdoor works best
Place the person at the end of the group for the most natural-looking insertion
Match the reference photo angle to the group: if the group faces the camera, use a front-facing reference

📷

Team & Corporate Photos

Add a colleague who missed the team photo, or combine separate headshots into a unified group picture for company websites and reports.

Common Scenarios

Adding a remote employee to a team photo for the company website
Including a new hire in an existing department photo without reshoooting
Inserting a speaker or attendee into a conference group photo

Best Practices

For corporate photos, ensure the reference photo has similar formal attire
Back rows are more forgiving for scale and angle differences
Add 'match the professional lighting and style' to your prompt for corporate consistency

📷

Memorial & Tribute Photos

Create photos that include a loved one who has passed or couldn't be present, preserving memories of how the group should have looked.

Common Scenarios

Adding a deceased grandparent to a recent family reunion photo using an older photo of them
Including a deployed military family member in a holiday photo
Creating a complete group photo from separate images of people who were never photographed together

Best Practices

Use the best-quality reference photo available — the AI can adjust lighting and scale
Specify 'natural and respectful placement' for a tasteful result
For older reference photos, the AI will do its best to match modern photo quality

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

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

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try:

insert the person from the reference photo into this group photo, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Person's edges show halos or artifacts

Why: The boundary between the person and the background wasn't cleanly handled.

Try: Tap markers along the person's outline and regenerate: 'clean up the edges for a seamless blend'

Try This →

Tip: Upload the person you want to add as a reference image for seamless insertion.

Added person's lighting doesn't match the scene

Why: The source photo of the person had different lighting than the target scene.

Try: Add 'match the lighting direction and color temperature of the scene' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Use source photos with similar lighting conditions — both outdoor or both indoor — for best results.

Face swap looks uncanny or distorted

Why: The face angle or expression didn't align well between the two photos.

Try: Try with photos where both faces have a similar angle and expression for more natural results

Try This →

Tip: Face swaps work best when both photos have a similar head angle and neutral or matching expressions.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where the person should go?
