Replace a Person in a Family Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the family photo

   Drop your family photo into EditThisPic — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Works best when the person being replaced is clearly visible and well lit.

   Expect: A clear family photo with the target person visible: ready for the next step in seconds. Photos with several people close together may need one refinement pass.

   Add a reference photo of the family member

   Click '+ Add reference photo' and upload a clear, well-lit photo of the family member you want to appear in the photo instead. The AI uses this photo to reproduce their likeness accurately.

   Tip: A reference photo where they face a similar direction to the person being replaced blends in more naturally.

   Review the result and refine if needed

   Zoom in on the swapped family member and anyone standing near them. If the pose or lighting is slightly off, add a second prompt with more detail, or tap a marker on the exact spot to correct.
