How it works

Upload a clear face photo

Drop your portrait image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Dramatic face photos work best—the AI will composite them onto a cinematic poster. Headshots with good lighting and expression are ideal for movie poster transformations.

Expect: Simple posters (one character, basic background): 30-40 seconds. Complex posters (multiple text elements, detailed scenes): 45-60 seconds and may need refinements.
Describe the movie poster style

Type what you want: 'put my face on an action movie poster with explosions and dramatic lighting' or 'create a romantic comedy poster featuring this person in a charming city backdrop.' Mention the genre, visual style, and any specific poster elements. The AI understands cinematic aesthetics—no marking needed.

Tip: Specify the movie genre (action, horror, romance, sci-fi) and key visual elements like lighting, background scenes, or mood for more authentic results.

Review your blockbuster moment

Check that the face looks heroic and cinematic on the poster, typography fits the genre, and the overall composition feels like a real movie poster. Look for dramatic lighting, proper title placement, and authentic movie poster elements.
Refine with markers if needed

If the face placement or specific poster elements need adjustment, tap markers on those areas and regenerate. Most movie posters work perfectly on the first try.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement only. Try without them first—you usually won't need them.

If something looks off

AI changed wrong area or added poster elements where I didn't want them

Why: The AI placed movie title, taglines, or background elements in unexpected locations based on typical poster composition rules.

Try:

Tap a marker on the face area you want to preserve, then regenerate with more specific placement: 'put the face centered and large, keep title text at bottom only'

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'THIS is the star.' Use them when layout elements conflict with face prominence.

Face looks unnatural or poorly composited on the poster

Why: The source photo's lighting doesn't match the dramatic cinematic lighting style of movie posters.

Try:

Use a well-lit, expressive portrait photo, then regenerate: 'composite the face naturally with cinematic color grading and dramatic shadows'

Try This →

Tip: Movie posters work best with dramatic portrait photos. Flat-lit casual photos will look less cinematic.

Poster doesn't match the genre I specified

Why: Generic genre mentions need more specific visual cues to capture the right cinematic aesthetic.

Try:

Add genre-specific details: 'action poster with orange and teal color grading, lens flares' or 'horror poster with desaturated colors, vignette darkening'

Try This →

Tip: Each genre has signature visual elements—mention color palettes, lighting styles, and typical background scenes.

Title text is illegible or poorly designed

Why: The AI generated text that doesn't have enough contrast or uses fonts that don't match the genre.

Try:

Be specific about typography: 'bold blocky title text with metallic texture for action movie' or 'distressed horror font with blood drips'

Try This →

Tip: Genre-appropriate typography is crucial. Mention font styles that match the movie aesthetic you want.

Background scene is too generic or doesn't match the movie concept

Why: Vague background descriptions lead to generic placeholder scenes instead of dramatic cinematic environments.

Try:

Describe the background in detail: 'crumbling city skyline with helicopters and smoke' or 'foggy cemetery at night with twisted dead trees'

Try This →

Tip: Specific background details make posters feel authentic. Reference iconic scenes from movies in that genre.

Poster lacks authentic movie poster details like credits, ratings, release date

Why: Basic prompts focus on main visuals and may omit fine details that make posters look professional.

Try:

Request complete poster realism: 'create a realistic movie poster with actor credits, MPAA rating, release date, and production company logos'

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'realistic movie poster details' or 'authentic theatrical poster' prompts the AI to include industry-standard elements.

Just describe the genre aesthetic: 'action poster with explosions', 'horror poster with dark haunted house', 'rom-com poster with bright city background.'
