Place Object in Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your two photos

   Drop your styled scene or background photo into EditThisPic — this is the environment you want the object placed in. Then click '+ Add reference photo' to upload a photo of the specific object. The two-photo setup is what lets the AI place your exact object, not a generic stand-in. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB each.

   Expect: Both photos ready in seconds. The AI reads the reference for the object's exact form before placing it.

   Describe angle, position, and light

   This is where 'place' differs from a casual add. Describe the deliberate composition you want: angle ('at 45 degrees'), position ('in the lower third'), orientation ('label facing the viewer'), and light ('with soft side lighting casting a shadow to the right'). The more intentional your prompt, the more styled the result.

   Tip: For product flat-lays, combining angle + shadow direction is the key to styled results: 'slightly angled with a long shadow falling to the left from the side light.'

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Place product at an angle for flat-lay styling place this product at a 45-degree angle in the center of the flat-lay, with a long soft shadow falling to the left from diffused side lighting

   Review the composition

   Does the object's angle feel intentional and styled? Is the shadow direction adding depth and interest? Does the placement create visual balance within the scene? These are styling questions, not just technical ones — 'does it look like a professional product photo?'

   Refine angle and shadow for styling

   Product styling often takes 2-3 iterations. Adjust the angle: 'slightly more upright' or 'more tilted.' Adjust the shadow: 'longer shadow' or 'shadow more to the right.' Each refinement gets you closer to the exact styled image you're visualizing.

   Tip: Iterate on one thing at a time: fix angle first, then shadow direction, then scale. Changing everything at once makes it harder to know what worked.
