How it works

Upload your holiday photo

Drop your family photo into EditThisPic. Works with phone photos, selfies, or professional shots. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple fixes like closed eyes: 30-45 seconds. Complex scenes with background replacement: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe what needs fixing

Type your instruction: 'fix the blinks and get everyone looking at camera' or 'replace messy background with Christmas tree setting.' Be specific about what's wrong and what you want instead. The AI understands concepts like 'background,' 'closed eyes,' and 'clutter' without you marking anything.

Tip: For backgrounds, specify the mood: 'cozy fireplace' vs 'elegant neutral backdrop' gives very different results

Review the result

Check faces at full zoom to verify eyes look natural. Make sure the background blends seamlessly. If something's not quite right, you can refine with a follow-up prompt.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI changed the wrong person's expression or you want to specify exactly which area to fix, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional - most holiday photo fixes work perfectly without markers.

Tip: Markers are most useful when you have identical twins in the photo, or need to fix one specific person in a large group

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong person's expression

Why: With multiple people, the AI might pick the wrong face when the instruction is ambiguous

Try: Tap a marker on the specific person's face, then use 'fix this person's closed eyes'

Try This →

Tip: Markers solve ambiguity. Use them when you have identical twins or need to target one specific person in a crowd

Background replacement looks unnatural or edges are rough

Why: Complex hair, fur, or overlapping people make edge detection harder

Try: Try 'blend the edges more naturally between subject and background' or tap markers along problem edges

Try This →

Tip: Simpler backgrounds (solid colors, less detail) blend more easily than busy scenes

Opened eyes don't look natural or person looks different

Why: AI is guessing what the person's open eyes should look like based on face structure

Try: If you have another photo where that person's eyes are open, upload it as reference: 'use eyes from reference image'

Try This →

Tip: Take multiple shots when possible - easier to combine good elements from different photos than to generate eyes from scratch

AI didn't remove all the clutter I wanted gone

Why: Vague terms like 'clutter' let the AI decide what counts - it might miss items

Try: Be specific: 'remove the toys on the floor, laundry basket, and coffee table items'

Try This →

Tip: Name the objects explicitly rather than using 'mess' or 'clutter'

New background doesn't match the lighting on people

Why: Original photo had different lighting direction or color temperature than generated background

Try: Add 'and match the lighting to the background' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Describe lighting when requesting backgrounds: 'soft warm light from the left' helps AI match

Quick answers

Do I need to mark faces before fixing closed eyes?

No! Just type 'fix the blinks' and the AI automatically detects all faces and opens closed eyes. Markers are only needed if the AI fixes the wrong person in a very large group, or you want to specify exactly which person needs help.

Is there a free holiday photo editor that works without signing up?

Yes! EditThisPic is completely free to try with no account needed. You can fix closed eyes, remove backgrounds, and make basic enhancements without any signup or payment. Just upload and describe what you need.

How do I fix multiple people blinking in one photo?

Use the prompt 'fix all the blinks and get everyone looking at camera' - the AI detects every face and opens all closed eyes in one edit. Works on family groups of any size.

Can I combine elements from multiple holiday photos?

Yes. If one photo has perfect expressions but bad background, and another has great background but blinks, upload both and prompt: 'use the expressions from the first photo with the background from the second.'

What's the best way to remove messy backgrounds?

Two approaches: (1) 'remove the clutter and add clean white background' for simple cleanup, or (2) 'replace background with cozy Christmas tree and fireplace' for complete festive transformation. Be specific about what you want instead of the mess.

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