Do I need a reference image to replace a person?
Yes. Click '+ Add reference image' to upload a photo of the person you want to insert. The AI uses this reference to place them into your main photo. The reference should clearly show the person's face.
How do I replace a person in a photo for free?
Upload your main photo to EditThisPic, click '+ Add reference image' to add the replacement person's photo, then type 'replace the person on the [location] with the person from the reference image.' Free, no login, no watermarks.
Is there a free person replacement tool that doesn't need an account?
Yes. EditThisPic replaces people in photos with no account, no email, and no watermark. You upload the original and a reference image of the new person, type a sentence like 'replace the man in the navy suit with the woman in the reference image,' and download the swapped photo. One free Fast credit per week is included, so casual swaps cost nothing.
What makes a good reference image?
Clear, well-lit photos showing the person's face work best. Front-facing photos are ideal. If possible, use a reference with a similar head angle to the person being replaced for more natural results.
Will the replaced person match the lighting of the original photo?
The AI matches lighting automatically in most cases — direction, intensity, and color temperature are inferred from the original photo. For tricky scenes (golden-hour portraits, harsh midday sun, or cool office fluorescents), add 'match the lighting and skin tone of the original photo' to your prompt and the result will blend more naturally. Reference photos shot in neutral, even light adapt the most cleanly because the AI has fewer baked-in shadows to undo.
Is EditThisPic's AI person replacer really free?
Yes. EditThisPic gives you one free Fast person-replacement per week with no account, no card, and no watermark on the result. Person swaps are usually a single Fast credit, so a free weekly edit covers most casual use cases. If you have several to do at once, the Lite plan is $4.99/month for 15 credits, or you can grab a 3-edit pack for $1.99 with no subscription.
Can I replace person on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic runs entirely in any modern mobile browser — Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, and tablets — so you can pull both photos out of your camera roll, upload them as the source and reference, and finish the swap without installing anything. The composited image saves straight back to Photos. There's also an iOS app on the App Store if you'd rather have a one-tap home-screen shortcut.
How much does EditThisPic cost?
You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 20 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
