How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload the photo that already has both people in it — a family portrait, team photo, or any group shot works. You don't need a separate reference image for this edit; both people just need to already be in the frame.

    Expect: Simple case: 20-30 seconds. Complex case (crowded photo, overlapping people): 45-60 seconds and may need a follow-up refinement.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type an instruction naming both people by a visible detail — not by their name, since the AI can't read name tags — and say where each one should end up, e.g. 'move the person in the blue shirt to where the person in red is standing, and vice versa.' Being specific about who goes where matters more than any other detail.

    Tip: Describe people by a visible feature (shirt color, hair, row position) rather than just 'left' and 'right' if the photo isn't perfectly symmetrical — it reduces mix-ups.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Swap two siblings in a family photo Swap the positions of the two kids in the front row — move the boy in the striped shirt to where the girl in the yellow dress is standing, and her to where he is.
    Put someone in front instead of the back Move the person standing in the back row to the front-center spot, and move the person currently in front-center to where they were standing.
    Swap a couple's sides Swap the two people standing next to each other so the person on the left is now on the right and the person on the right is now on the left, keeping everyone else the same.
    Swap positions in a team photo Swap the position of the person in the red jersey with the person in the blue jersey in the second row, keeping their poses natural.
    3 more prompts
    Move someone closer to the camera Swap the person kneeling in front with the person standing directly behind them, matching the new pose to how each person was originally posed.
    Swap positions but keep a third person untouched Swap only the two people on the far left of the photo with each other. Leave everyone else in the photo exactly as they are.
    Reshuffle a lineup for better composition Move the tallest person from the center to the end of the row, and move the person currently at the end of the row into the center.
  3. Review the result

    Check that both people's faces, body proportions, and skin tones look natural in their new spot, and that the lighting on each of them still matches the direction of light in the rest of the photo. Also check that nothing else in the background shifted or warped.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the AI swaps the wrong two people in a crowded photo, or blends an edge oddly, tap a marker directly on each person and reissue the same instruction. Most two-person swaps in normal group photos work fine without this.

    Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the two people before describing the swap?

No — for most two-person swaps you can just describe who should move where in plain English, like 'swap the person in blue with the person in red.' Markers are only useful afterward if the AI picks the wrong two people in a crowded photo.

How do I swap two people's positions in a photo for free?

Upload the photo to EditThisPic, describe the swap you want in plain English, and download the result — it's free to try and doesn't require an account.

Will the lighting and scale match after the swap?

The AI does its best to match lighting, shadows, and body proportions automatically, and most straightforward swaps look natural. Photos with very different lighting or poses between the two spots are harder and may need a regenerate or a marker-guided retry.

Can I swap more than two people at once?

You can describe multiple swaps in one instruction, but accuracy drops as you add more people. For the most reliable result, swap two people at a time and review each result before moving on to the next pair.

Is there a free tool that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no account needed — upload a photo, describe the swap, and get a result in under a minute.
