Replace a Face in a Group Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the group photo with the bad expression

   Drop the group photo where someone blinked, grimaced, or looked away into EditThisPic — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Works best when the rest of the shot is otherwise the one you want to keep.

   Expect: A clear group photo with the target face visible: ready for the next step in seconds. Faces at odd angles or partly turned away may need one refinement pass.

   Add a reference photo of the same person's better expression

   Click '+ Add reference photo' and upload another photo of the same person from around the same moment, with their eyes open and looking at the camera. This is the key step — the AI uses this photo to reproduce just their face.

   Tip: A reference photo from the same shoot, with similar lighting and head angle, blends the most seamlessly.

   Review the result and refine if needed

   Zoom in on the fixed face and check the skin tone and lighting match the rest of the photo. If it looks slightly off, add a second prompt with more detail, or tap a marker directly on the face.
