Replace a Person in a Group Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload the group photo

   Drop the group photo into EditThisPic — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Works best when the person you're replacing is clearly visible and not heavily overlapped by others.

   Expect: A clear, well-lit group photo with the target person visible: ready for the next step in seconds. Crowded or dim photos may need one refinement pass after the first result.
2. 2

   Add a reference photo of the replacement

   Click '+ Add reference photo' and upload a clear, well-lit photo of the person who should appear in the group instead. This is the key step — the AI uses this photo to reproduce their likeness in the target spot.

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

   Review the result and refine if needed

   Zoom in on the swapped person and everyone standing near them. If the pose, scale, or lighting is slightly off, add a second prompt with more detail, or tap a marker on the exact spot that needs correcting.
