Add & Replace in Photos

Almost anything: people, furniture, objects, backgrounds, skies, text, makeup, hair, beards, smiles, glasses, tattoos, snow, rain, fog, bokeh, lighting effects, and more. EditThisPic has 40+ specialized tools for adding and replacing elements in photos. Describe what you want, and the AI generates it matched to your photo's lighting and perspective.

Upload your photo, then describe what to add and where. For example: 'add a modern gray sofa facing the window.' The AI analyzes your image — lighting, perspective, colors — and generates the element directly into the scene with proper shadows and blending. For exact placement, tap a marker on the spot first. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.

Yes — the AI understands all variations. Whether you say 'add,' 'insert,' 'put,' 'place,' 'include,' or 'generate,' it performs the same action: creating a new element and blending it into your photo with matched lighting and perspective.

Adding inserts new elements that weren't in the original photo — like adding a person to an empty space or adding furniture to a bare room. Replacing swaps existing elements for different ones — like replacing a cloudy sky with a sunset or changing a shirt color from blue to red. EditThisPic handles both with the same simple workflow: describe what you want.

In most cases, yes. The AI matches lighting direction, shadow angles, perspective distortion, and color temperature to your existing photo. Added elements cast appropriate shadows and sit at correct angles. For the most realistic results, describe the lighting in your prompt — 'with warm light from the left' — and the AI follows it precisely.

Yes. This is one of the most popular use cases. You can add a missing family member, fill a gap in a lineup, or insert someone who couldn't make it to the event. Use a marker to tap on the exact spot where the person should stand, then describe them: 'add a woman in a blue dress standing in the gap.' The AI matches the group's lighting and perspective.

Yes. Virtual staging is one of the top use cases. Describe the furniture style and placement: 'add a mid-century walnut dining table with four chairs in the center of the room.' The AI generates furniture with correct perspective, shadows, and lighting to match the room. Real estate agents use this to help buyers visualize spaces.

Yes. Upload your photo and say 'replace the sky with a golden sunset' or 'change the sky to clear blue with a few clouds.' The AI detects the sky boundary — even around complex tree lines and rooftops — and generates a new sky that matches the scene's lighting and color palette.

For most everyday additions and replacements, AI produces comparable results in seconds versus the 30-60 minutes manual compositing takes in Photoshop. You don't need to source stock images, cut them out, match perspectives, adjust curves, or paint shadows. Professional designers working on high-end advertising may still prefer Photoshop's manual control, but for real estate, e-commerce, social media, and personal photos, AI addition is dramatically faster.

Yes. Many people use EditThisPic to create memorial composites — adding a family member who has passed to photos from events they couldn't attend. You can also add angel wings or halos for tribute images. Describe the person and their position in the photo, and the AI generates a natural-looking composite.

No. Just describe what you want in plain language. The AI identifies where to place new elements and how to blend them automatically. For precision placement, you can optionally tap a marker on the exact spot, but it's rarely needed for most edits. No layer masks, no lasso tools, no feathering.

Yes. EditThisPic includes specialized tools for adding snow, rain, fog, lightning, fireworks, rainbow, and aurora borealis effects to photos. The AI generates these effects matched to your scene's lighting and depth, so snow falls naturally in perspective and rain follows the scene's light direction.

No. EditThisPic works entirely in your browser — no app download, no software installation. It works on any device: desktop, tablet, or phone. Just open the website, upload your photo, and start editing.

Yes. You get free edits every week with no signup required. There are no hidden fees, no watermarks on your results, and no account needed to start. Power users who need more edits can purchase credit packs or a subscription.

No. You can start adding and replacing elements in photos immediately — no signup, no email, no password. Creating an optional account lets you save your editing history and purchase additional credits, but it's not required.

Most AI editors require you to upload a separate image to composite or paint a mask to define where changes happen. EditThisPic uses a description-first approach — you describe what to add or replace in words, and the AI generates and places it automatically. This is faster, more intuitive, and handles perspective and lighting matching better because the AI understands the full context of your image.
