How it works

  1. Upload your main photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better person results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple swaps with clear subjects: 30-45 seconds. Group photos or complex poses: 45-60 seconds with possible refinement.

  2. Add your reference image

    Click '+ Add reference image' below the main photo. Upload a clear photo of the person you want to insert. Front-facing, well-lit photos work best. This person will replace someone in your main photo.

    Tip: The reference photo should show the person's face clearly. Similar head angle to the person being replaced gives the most natural results.

  3. Describe the replacement

    Type your instruction: 'replace the person on the left with the person from the reference image' or 'swap the man in blue with the person from photo 2.' Identify who to replace by location, clothing, or other distinguishing features.

    Tip: Add 'match the lighting and pose' to help the AI integrate the new person naturally into the scene.

  4. Generate and review

    Check that the new person looks naturally integrated. Verify skin tone, lighting, and scale match the scene. Look for proper shadows and ensure the pose fits the context.

  5. Refine if needed

    If the integration looks off, refine with specific guidance. You can ask to adjust skin tone matching, fix edge blending, or correct the scale. Tap markers on problem areas for targeted fixes.

    Tip: Common fixes: 'blend edges more naturally' or 'match the skin tone to the lighting.'

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Creative Compositing

Swap and replace person in photos to create imaginative composites, mashups, and artistic transformations.

Common Scenarios

  • Replacing person with something completely different for a surreal effect
  • Swapping person to create a humorous or viral-worthy photo edit
  • Compositing multiple elements by replacing person with custom alternatives

Best Practices

  • Be specific about what should replace person — include color, style, and position details
  • The AI matches lighting automatically, but mentioning 'match the scene lighting' improves realism
  • For multiple replacements, do them one at a time for the cleanest results
📷

Professional & Commercial

Replace person in commercial photos for marketing, product shots, and client presentations without reshooting.

Common Scenarios

  • Replacing person in a product photo to show a different variant or model
  • Swapping person in a marketing image for a different campaign or audience segment
  • Updating legacy photos by replacing outdated person with current versions

Best Practices

  • Use reference images when the replacement needs to match a specific look exactly
  • Verify that lighting, shadows, and proportions look natural after the swap
  • For product photography, describe materials and colors precisely when replacing person
📷

Personal Photo Editing

Fix or improve personal photos by replacing person with something better — save the shot without retaking it.

Common Scenarios

  • Replacing a dull or overcast sky (as person) with a dramatic sunset or blue sky
  • Swapping out person in a photo to fix a mistake or improve composition
  • Replacing person in an old photo to update or refresh the image

Best Practices

  • Save the original first — keep the unedited version in case you want to try different replacements
  • If the replacement doesn't match the first time, describe the desired look in more detail
  • Natural-looking replacements work best when the new element matches the photo's lighting and perspective

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong person

Why: Multiple people in the image made it unclear which one to replace.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the person you want to replace, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers eliminate ambiguity in group photos. Tap the specific person to replace.

Replacement person looks pasted on

Why: Lighting or skin tone doesn't match the original scene.

Try: replace the person with the person from reference, carefully match skin tone and lighting direction from the scene
Try This →

Tip: 'Match skin tone' and 'match lighting direction' help the AI blend more naturally.

Scale is wrong - person too big or small

Why: The AI misjudged the appropriate size for the new person.

Try: replace with the person from reference at the same scale as the original person, match the height
Try This →

Tip: 'Same scale as original' and 'match the height' enforce proper proportions.

Pose looks unnatural in the context

Why: The reference photo pose doesn't fit the scenario of the main photo.

Try: replace with the person from reference and adjust their pose to match the context naturally
Try This →

Tip: Better results come from reference photos with similar poses to what's being replaced.

Edges around the person look rough

Why: The AI struggled with edge detection, especially around hair or complex outlines.

Try: blend the edges around the replaced person more smoothly, especially the hair
Try This →

Tip: Tap markers on the rough edges and ask specifically to 'blend hair edges naturally.'
