How it works

Upload your team background

Upload the photo that will be the foundation of your team photo. This could be an office lobby, conference room, outdoor setting, or a clean studio backdrop. This is where team members will be placed. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Each person takes 30-60 seconds to composite. A 5-person team photo may need 3-5 minutes total with refinements.
Add a headshot and describe placement

Click '+ Add reference image' and upload one team member's headshot. Then type your instruction: 'place this person from the reference on the left side of the group, match the office lighting and scale to the other people.' Be specific about position, scale, and lighting direction. The AI extracts the person and composites them into the scene.

Tip: Start from the edges and work inward. Place people at the far left or right first, then fill the middle. This prevents overlap issues.

Copy one of these to get started:

First person placement on office background Place this person from the reference photo on the left side of the office scene, match the indoor lighting and scale them to look like they're standing naturally in the room
Try This →

Adding next person beside existing team Add this person from the reference photo standing to the right of the existing team member, same height and lighting, professional posture
Try This →

Corporate headshot on white background Composite this person from the reference headshot into the center of the group photo, blend their lighting to match the studio backdrop, keep their professional attire visible from waist up
Try This →

Remote team with mismatched backgrounds Extract this person from the reference photo and place them into the team photo on the right end, color-correct their skin tone and lighting to match the rest of the group

Outdoor team photo composite Place this person from the reference photo into the outdoor team shot standing at the right end, match the natural daylight and add a subtle ground shadow
Try This →

Final group color harmonization Harmonize the color temperature and lighting across all people in this team photo so they look like they were photographed together in the same room
Try This →
Review and repeat for each person

Check that the composited person looks natural. Verify lighting direction, shadow consistency, and scale relative to the scene. Save the result and use it as the new base photo. Upload the next headshot as the reference and repeat the process for each team member.
Refine with markers if needed

If edges look rough or a person appears at the wrong size, tap markers on the problem area and describe the fix. Common refinements include edge softening, shadow adjustment, and color temperature matching between composited people.

Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first. Use them when edges between the headshot cutout and background need cleanup.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Corporate Websites & About Pages

Build professional team photos for company websites when scheduling an all-hands photo shoot isn't practical. Especially useful for distributed and hybrid teams.

Common Scenarios

Creating an About page team photo from individual employee headshots
Updating the team page when new hires join without reshooting the entire group
Building department-specific group photos from existing headshot libraries

Best Practices

Use a consistent background that matches your brand aesthetic: office interior, outdoor campus, or clean studio backdrop
Start placement from the edges and work inward to avoid overlap issues
Run a final color harmonization pass so all team members look consistently lit

📷

Marketing Materials & Brochures

Create polished team composites for brochures, pitch decks, investor materials, and trade show displays without coordinating schedules for a photo shoot.

Common Scenarios

Building a leadership team photo for investor presentations
Creating team composites for trade show booth displays and banners
Assembling project team photos for client-facing proposal documents

Best Practices

Use high-resolution headshots (1000x1000 pixels minimum) for print-quality output
Match formal attire tone across the composite: specify 'professional business attire' in prompts
Use a studio white backdrop for maximum flexibility in marketing layouts

📷

Remote & Distributed Teams

Assemble team photos for fully remote companies where team members have never been in the same room. Combine headshots from different cities, countries, and time zones into unified group images.

Common Scenarios

Creating the first-ever team photo for a fully remote company
Building org chart visuals that show teams as unified groups rather than isolated headshots
Assembling all-hands group photos for remote company newsletters and Slack announcements

Best Practices

Ask all team members to submit headshots with similar framing: shoulders up, neutral background
Choose a virtual background that feels authentic: modern office, outdoor courtyard, or branded backdrop
Process one person at a time and save intermediate results as new base photos

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests like 'add person here' without specifying a clear position.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific spot where you want the person placed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS spot specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous about position.

Composited person looks pasted on with visible edges

Why: The headshot background wasn't cleanly separated, or lighting direction doesn't match the base photo.

Try:

Add this person from the reference photo, blend edges seamlessly, soften the outline, and match the lighting direction from the background photo

Try This →

Tip: Headshots on plain white or grey backgrounds produce the cleanest cutouts. If the headshot has a busy background, mention 'extract only the person' in your prompt.

Person is the wrong size relative to others in the group

Why: The AI estimated scale incorrectly because the headshot was cropped differently than the base photo.

Try: Regenerate and specify 'scale this person to match the height and proportions of the other people already in the photo'

Try This →

Tip: Reference an existing person: 'same height as the person on the left' gives the AI a concrete scale target.

Skin tones and color temperature don't match across team members

Why: Each headshot was taken under different lighting with different white balance settings.

Try: Harmonize the skin tones and color temperature across all people in this photo so they look like they were shot together

Try This →

Tip: Run a color harmonization pass as your final step after all people are composited. This evens out the differences from individually-shot headshots.

Shadows are inconsistent between composited people

Why: Each headshot had light coming from different directions, creating conflicting shadow angles.

Try:

Unify the shadow direction for all people in this photo, light should come from upper left, add consistent ground shadows

Try This →

Tip: Pick one lighting direction and specify it explicitly. 'Light from upper left' is the most common studio setup.

Person appears to be floating or not grounded in the scene

Why: The composite is missing a ground shadow or contact shadow where the person meets the floor.

Try:

Add a natural ground shadow beneath this person's feet, matching the shadow direction and intensity of the rest of the scene

Try This →

Tip: Always include 'add ground shadow' in your prompt when compositing full-body shots. This single detail makes the biggest difference in realism.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark where each person goes in the team photo?

No. Just describe the placement in your prompt: 'place this person on the left side' or 'add them to the right of the existing group.' The AI understands spatial positioning from natural language. Use markers only if the AI places someone in the wrong spot and you need to point to the exact position.

How do I create a team photo from individual headshots?

Upload an office or studio background as your main photo. Click '+ Add reference image' and upload one headshot. Type 'place this person from the reference on the left side, match the lighting.' Save the result, use it as the new base, and repeat for each team member. Each person takes 30-60 seconds.

Is there a free tool to merge headshots into a team photo?

Yes. EditThisPic lets you composite headshots into team photos for free with no signup or watermark. Upload your background and a headshot, describe the placement, and download the result. One free edit per week, with credit packs starting at $1.99 for larger teams.

How does the AI match lighting between different headshots?

The AI analyzes the lighting direction, color temperature, and intensity in your background photo, then adjusts each composited person to match. For best results, include 'match the lighting' in your prompt. Headshots taken under similar conditions (all indoor or all outdoor) blend most naturally.

Can I merge more than two or three people into one team photo?

Yes. Add one person at a time: composite the first headshot, save the result, then use that result as the new base and add the next person. There's no limit to how many people you can add. Teams of 10-15 people work well with this iterative approach.

What resolution do the individual headshots need to be?

Higher resolution headshots produce better composites. At minimum, each headshot should be at least 500x500 pixels. Professional headshots at 1000x1000 or higher are ideal. The background photo should be the highest resolution image since it sets the overall quality of the final group photo.

Do all the headshots need to have the same background?

No. The AI extracts each person from their headshot regardless of the original background. Plain white, grey, or solid-color backgrounds produce the cleanest extraction, but the AI handles office backgrounds, outdoor shots, and even casual selfies. Just specify 'extract only the person' if the headshot background is busy.

How does this compare to hiring a Photoshop editor for team composites?

A professional Photoshop editor typically charges $50-200 for a team composite and takes 1-3 business days. EditThisPic delivers results in minutes for free. The AI handles edge blending, lighting matching, and shadow generation automatically. For high-stakes marketing materials, you can refine the result iteratively until it meets your standards.
