How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload the photo you want to improve. The AI analyzes existing light sources and shadows to apply realistic double exposure effect corrections. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

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

  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'Create a double exposure effect blending this portrait with the reference landscape.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Upload the second person as a reference image for best compositing results.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Portrait with nature Create a double exposure blending this portrait silhouette with the forest reference photo, keep the face visible
    Try This →
    Portrait with cityscape Blend this portrait with the city skyline reference, focus the buildings within the head silhouette
    Try This →
    Portrait with ocean Create a double exposure of this portrait with the ocean waves reference, dreamy and ethereal
    Try This →
    Portrait with flowers Blend this portrait with the flower garden reference photo, colorful and artistic
    Try This →

    Eye-catching creative version create double exposure effect with vibrant colors and striking visual impact for social media

  3. Review the result

    Check that lighting adjustments look physically plausible — shadows should match light sources, highlights shouldn't clip to pure white, and the overall exposure feels balanced.

  4. Refine if needed

    If some areas are still too dark or highlights look blown out, tap markers on those zones and describe the adjustment. Try 'brighten just this shadow area' or 'reduce the glare on this surface.'

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

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Art & Decoration

Transform your photos into double exposure effect artwork for wall prints, framed art, and home decoration.

Common Scenarios

  • Converting a favorite photo into a double exposure effect print for your living room wall
  • Creating a series of double exposure effect portraits of family members as matching wall art
  • Turning landscape or travel photos into double exposure effect art for office decoration

Best Practices

  • Start with a high-resolution photo — printed art needs sharp detail even after the style transform
  • Request a specific aspect ratio if the print will go in a particular frame
  • Try 'bold double exposure effect' vs. 'subtle double exposure effect' to control how dramatic the transformation looks
📷

Social Media & Content

Create scroll-stopping social media content by converting photos to double exposure effect — perfect for profiles, stories, and viral posts.

Common Scenarios

  • Making a unique double exposure effect profile picture that stands out in feeds
  • Creating a double exposure effect version of a trending meme or photo challenge
  • Building a themed Instagram series where every post uses double exposure effect transformation

Best Practices

  • Pair the transformation with a catchy caption that references the art style
  • For Instagram stories, add text overlays after the double exposure effect conversion for maximum engagement
  • Process several photos in the same session to maintain a consistent style across posts
📷

Gifts & Personal Keepsakes

Turn meaningful photos into double exposure effect keepsakes — custom gifts, cards, and personalized items that people actually treasure.

Common Scenarios

  • Creating a double exposure effect portrait as a birthday or anniversary gift
  • Designing double exposure effect wedding invitations or save-the-dates from engagement photos
  • Making a double exposure effect memorial portrait for a loved one

Best Practices

  • Choose photos with clear faces and good lighting — the transformation preserves detail best from quality originals
  • For gifts, print on canvas or premium paper to complement the double exposure effect aesthetic
  • Request 'warm tones' or 'cool tones' to match the recipient's home decor

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: Create a double exposure effect blending this portrait with the reference landscape, 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.

Added person has wrong scale or proportion

Why: The AI estimated the wrong size relative to other people in the scene.

Try: Regenerate and specify 'match the height and proportions of the other people in the photo'
Try This →

Tip: Mention relative size like 'same height as the person on the left' for accurate scaling.

Shadows don't match — person looks pasted on

Why: The composited element has lighting from a different direction than the original photo.

Try: Add 'match the shadow direction and intensity of the original photo' to your prompt
Try This →

Tip: Upload reference photos taken in similar lighting conditions for the most seamless composites.

Skin tones don't match between the two photos

Why: The source photos had different white balance or lighting color temperatures.

Try: Regenerate with 'match the skin tones and color temperature across all people in the photo'
Try This →

Tip: Photos taken in similar lighting (both outdoor or both indoor) blend much more naturally.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark anything on the photo?

No. Upload both images and describe the blend you want. The AI handles the artistic merging.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works in any mobile browser.

What kind of portrait works best?

Side profiles and silhouettes with clean outlines give the most dramatic double exposure effects.

Can I control how the images blend?

Yes. Describe the blend style: "dreamy," "high contrast," "subtle overlay," etc. The AI follows your creative direction.

Do I need to download an app to create double exposure effect?

No app needed. EditThisPic runs entirely in your web browser on any device -- desktop, laptop, phone, or tablet.

Is my photo kept private when I create double exposure effect?

Yes. Your photo is processed in real-time by the AI and is not stored on our servers after editing. No account is required to use the tool, and we don't collect or share your images. Your original file stays on your device.

How does EditThisPic compare to Photoshop for creating double exposure effect?

EditThisPic uses AI that understands natural language, so you describe the edit you want instead of using complex tools. It works instantly in your browser with no software to install or learn. For creating double exposure effect, you simply type what you want and the AI handles the rest in 20-45 seconds.

What's the most common use case for creating double exposure effect?

Most users create double exposure effect for social media content, professional work, or personal projects. The AI handles both simple and creative edits, so whether you need a quick fix or an artistic transformation, you can describe exactly what you want in plain English.

Can I create double exposure effect for multiple photos at once?

Currently, EditThisPic processes one photo at a time for the best AI results. Upload each photo individually and use the same prompt — the process takes about 20-45 seconds per image. For large batches, a paid plan gives you unlimited edits without waiting.

What makes a good photo for creating double exposure effect?

Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.

What types of photos work best with this tool?

JPG, PNG, and WebP photos up to 7MB work best. The AI handles photos from any camera or phone. High-resolution images with good lighting produce the best results. Extremely dark, heavily compressed, or very small images may produce less precise edits.

Can I also adjust the lighting and colors in the same edit?

Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to create double exposure effect and adjust the lighting and colors at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
