How it works

  1. Upload your graduation photo

    Drop any graduation photo into EditThisPic. Individual portraits, group shots, or ceremony photos all work. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple fixes like lighting: 15-20 seconds. Background removals: 25-30 seconds.
  2. Describe what needs fixing

    Type what you want: 'remove the people in the background' or 'fix the harsh shadow from my cap.' Be specific about the problem. The AI understands graduation photo issues like cap shadows, gown wrinkles, and crowded backgrounds.

    Tip: Combine multiple fixes in one prompt: 'remove crowd and fix the cap shadow on my face'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Crowded background ruins the shot remove all the people in the background, keep only me
    Cap creates harsh shadow on face fix the shadow on my face from my graduation cap
    Want a professional studio background replace background with professional dark blue gradient studio backdrop
    Tassel is on the wrong side or crooked move the tassel to the left side of the cap
    4 more prompts
    Gown looks wrinkled or disheveled smooth out the wrinkles in my graduation gown
    Group photo needs better composition remove the person on the far left and center the remaining group
    Outdoor photo has harsh sunlight soften the harsh sunlight and reduce squinting shadows
    Want campus or university backdrop replace background with classic university building with columns
  3. Download your fixed photo

    Review your corrected graduation photo and download in high resolution. Perfect for framing, announcements, or social media. If you want additional adjustments, just describe them.

  4. Use markers for precise fixes

    If you need to target a specific area or the AI missed something, tap markers on those spots and describe the refinement. Most graduation photo fixes work perfectly without markers.

    Tip: Markers are helpful when you want to remove a specific person from a group without affecting others nearby

Detailed Guides by Scenario

πŸ“·

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI graduation photos β€” bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying graduation photos to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using graduation photos on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue β€” 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better graduation photos than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
πŸ“·

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with graduation photos.

Common Scenarios

  • Using graduation photos on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying graduation photos to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with graduation photos for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size β€” overly large images slow page loads
  • Always compare before and after to make sure graduation photos looks natural, not over-processed
πŸ“·

Social Media & Personal Sharing

Make your personal photos look their best before sharing with friends, family, or followers using graduation photos.

Common Scenarios

  • Quickly applying graduation photos to vacation photos before posting on social media
  • Using graduation photos on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with graduation photos before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share β€” fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing β€” keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors graduation photos accordingly

If something looks off

AI removed the wrong person from a group photo

Why: Without markers, the AI may guess which person you meant

Try: Use markers to tap on the specific person, then 'remove this person'

Tip: For group photos, always use markers to specify exactly who to remove

Cap shadow fix made the lighting look unnatural

Why: The AI may have overcorrected the shadows

Try: Try 'slightly reduce the cap shadow while keeping natural lighting'

Tip: Use words like 'slightly' and 'subtle' to avoid over-correction

Background replacement looks fake around the gown edges

Why: Gown fabric edges can be tricky to separate cleanly

Try: Try 'blend the edges more naturally' or use markers on problem areas

Tip: Solid color backgrounds (like studio backdrops) hide edge issues better than detailed scenes

Tassel position change looks distorted

Why: Moving objects is harder than removing or adding them

Try: Try 'remove the tassel and add a new tassel on the left side'

Tip: Sometimes removing and regenerating works better than moving

Quick answers

Can I remove specific people from graduation group photos?

Yes! Tap markers on the people you want removed, then describe what to do: 'remove these people.' The AI will fill in the background naturally. For best results, be specific about which people to remove and keep.

How do I fix the shadow that graduation caps create on faces?

Just describe the problem: 'fix the shadow on my face from my cap' or 'brighten the shadow under my cap brim.' The AI understands cap shadow issues and will balance the lighting while keeping your cap visible.

Can I change the background to look like a professional studio portrait?

Absolutely! Try 'replace background with professional dark blue gradient studio backdrop' or any studio-style background. Popular choices include dark blue, gray, or maroon gradients that complement most gown colors.

Can I fix graduation photos where the tassel is on the wrong side?

Yes, you can adjust tassel positioning. Try 'move the tassel to the left side' or 'flip the tassel to the other side.' For best results, you may need to use markers to help the AI understand exactly what to change.

Is EditThisPic's AI graduation photos fixer really free?

Yes β€” you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

How does EditThisPic compare to Photoshop for fixing graduation photos?

EditThisPic uses AI that understands natural language, so you describe the edit you want instead of using complex tools. It works instantly in your browser with no software to install or learn. For fixing graduation photos, you simply type what you want and the AI handles the rest in 20-45 seconds.

Can I fix graduation photos on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser β€” iPhone, Android, or tablet. The full editor loads on mobile with touch-optimized controls. No app download needed, though an iOS app is also available. Upload from your camera roll and edit on the go.

What's the most common use case for fixing graduation photos?

Most users fix graduation photos for social media content, professional work, or personal projects. The AI handles both simple and creative edits, so whether you need a quick fix or an artistic transformation, you can describe exactly what you want in plain English.

Can I fix graduation photos for multiple photos at once?

Currently, EditThisPic processes one photo at a time for the best AI results. Upload each photo individually and use the same prompt β€” the process takes about 20-45 seconds per image. For large batches, a paid plan gives you unlimited edits without waiting.

What makes a good photo for fixing graduation photos?

Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.

What types of photos work best with this tool?

JPG, PNG, and WebP photos up to 7MB work best. The AI handles photos from any camera or phone. High-resolution images with good lighting produce the best results. Extremely dark, heavily compressed, or very small images may produce less precise edits.

Can I also adjust the lighting and colors in the same edit?

Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to fix graduation photos and adjust the lighting and colors at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
