How to Edit Social Media Photos

1

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. Works with any photo from your phone or camera. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB.

Quick fixes: 15-30 seconds. Multiple changes: may take 2-3 edits over 1-2 minutes.
2

Describe what you want changed

Type your edit in plain language: 'remove the trash can on the left,' 'blur the messy background,' or 'make colors more vibrant and warm.' No photo editing knowledge required. The AI understands everyday descriptions.

Be specific about what bothers you. 'Remove the guy photobombing on the right' works better than just 'fix the background.'
3

Review your edit

Check the result. Zoom in on areas you changed. Make sure everything looks natural before downloading.

Preview at the size it will appear on social media. Story dimensions and feed posts have different requirements.

Refine if needed

Not quite right? Add more detail to your description or tap markers on specific problem areas to guide the AI. Most edits work on the first try.

Markers help when you have multiple similar things and want to change just one of them.

Common Issues and Fixes

AI changed the wrong thing or affected something I wanted to keep

Why: Your description was ambiguous or the AI misunderstood which element you meant. Common when there are multiple similar things in the photo.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific thing you want changed, then regenerate with the same description

Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when words alone are ambiguous.

The edited area looks obviously fake or doesn't blend

Why: The AI-generated fill doesn't match the surrounding lighting, texture, or perspective well enough.

Try: regenerate with same prompt adding 'blend naturally with surrounding area, match lighting and texture'

Sometimes running the same edit again produces better results. AI has some randomness.

Colors look oversaturated or unnatural after enhancement

Why: Color enhancement went too far. The AI interpreted 'vibrant' more aggressively than you wanted.

Try: enhance colors subtly and naturally, slight boost without looking over-edited

Words like 'subtle,' 'natural,' and 'slight' help prevent over-processing.

Background blur looks choppy around hair or edges

Why: Hair and fine details are challenging for blur effects. The AI needs more guidance about edge quality.

Try: blur background with smooth natural bokeh, preserve crisp edges around person and hair detail

Zoom to 100% to check edges before downloading. Problems show up at full resolution.

Removed object left a visible patch or color difference

Why: The area filled in doesn't perfectly match the original background texture or color.

Try: remove [object] and fill seamlessly with matching texture and color, no visible seams

If patching persists, try describing what should replace it specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to select or mark anything before editing?

No, just describe what you want in plain language. Say 'remove the person on the right' or 'blur the background' and the AI figures out what you mean. Markers are optional and only needed when you want to be super precise about which specific thing to change.

Will my edited photo have a watermark?

No. EditThisPic is completely free with no watermarks. Download your edited photos and post them directly to any social media platform.

Can I edit photos from my phone camera roll?

Yes, EditThisPic works in any mobile browser. Just upload photos directly from your camera roll, edit them, and save. No app download needed.

What size photos work best for social media?

Upload the highest resolution you have. EditThisPic handles photos up to 7MB. Higher resolution gives the AI more detail to work with. You can always crop to specific social media dimensions afterward.

Can I make multiple edits to the same photo?

Yes, make as many edits as you need. Fix the background first, then enhance colors, then remove an object. Each edit builds on the last. Download when you are happy with the result.

Does this work for Stories and Reels too?

Absolutely. EditThisPic works with any photo regardless of intended use. Edit your photos here, then crop or format them for Stories, Reels, TikTok, or any other platform using your phone's built-in tools.
