How it works

Upload your base photo

Drop your main image into EditThisPic. For classic double exposure, portraits with clear silhouettes work best. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple double exposures with clear subjects: 30-45 seconds. Complex multi-layer artistic effects: may need 3-4 refinements for perfect blending.
Describe the double exposure effect

Type your instruction: 'blend with forest scenery as double exposure, trees visible through silhouette' or 'create double exposure with cityscape inside the profile.' Specify what should be blended, where it should appear, and how visible it should be. The AI understands concepts like 'through the silhouette,' 'inside the head,' or 'overlaid on the figure.'

Tip: Mention the blend mode feel: 'subtle blend' vs 'strong overlay' vs 'ghostly transparent' helps the AI nail the opacity and blending style.

Upload reference image (optional)

If you have a specific second image to blend (like a forest photo or cityscape), upload it as a reference. The AI will use it for the double exposure. If you don't upload one, describe what you want and the AI will generate or simulate the effect.
Generate and review

Click Generate and watch the AI create your double exposure. Check the blend quality—the effect should feel cohesive, not like two separate images pasted together. Look for natural transitions and appropriate opacity.
Refine with markers if needed

If certain areas need more or less blending, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. For example, mark the face if you want the blend stronger there, or mark the edges for smoother transitions.

Tip: Markers help with fine-tuning blend intensity in specific areas. Try without them first to see the AI's interpretation.

If something looks off

The blend looks like two separate images pasted together, not a true double exposure

Why: True double exposure requires careful opacity and blending that respects the silhouette. The AI might have interpreted it as a simple overlay.

Try: create double exposure with [element] visible THROUGH the silhouette with transparent blend and natural transition

Try This →

Tip: Use the word 'through' to emphasize it should blend into the silhouette, not sit on top of it. 'Transparent blend' helps too.

The second image is too strong or too weak

Why: Double exposure is all about balance. Without guidance on opacity, the AI picks a default that might not match your vision.

Try: blend [element] with [subtle/medium/strong] transparency and [light/medium/bold] opacity

Try This →

Tip: Specify both transparency level and whether you want it subtle or dominant. 'Subtle transparency' vs 'bold overlay' creates very different results.

The blended image doesn't align with the silhouette properly

Why: Alignment and positioning matter in double exposure. Generic placement might not look intentional.

Try: create double exposure with [element] positioned inside the [head/upper body/full silhouette] with proper alignment

Try This →

Tip: Be specific about where the blend should concentrate: 'inside the head,' 'across the chest area,' 'throughout the full body.'

The background interferes with the double exposure effect

Why: True double exposure works best when the background doesn't compete. Busy backgrounds muddy the effect.

Try: create double exposure effect with clean background removed and [element] blended through silhouette only

Try This →

Tip: Consider removing or simplifying the background first, then applying double exposure for cleaner results.

Colors clash or don't harmonize between the two images

Why: Double exposure benefits from color harmony. Mismatched color temperatures or palettes look disconnected.

Try: create double exposure with [element] blended in [warm/cool/monochrome] tones to match the portrait

Try This →

Tip: Mention color harmony: 'in matching warm tones' or 'with complementary color palette' helps the AI balance the blend.

AI changed the wrong area or blended in unexpected places

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap markers on the silhouette area where you want the blend to appear, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'blend HERE specifically.' Use them to define the exact blend zone when description alone is ambiguous.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the areas before creating a double exposure?

No! Just describe what you want: 'blend forest scenery through the silhouette' or 'create double exposure with cityscape inside the profile.' The AI understands these concepts. Only use markers when you need precision—like specifying exactly which part of the silhouette should have stronger or weaker blending after your first attempt.

How do I create a realistic double exposure effect that doesn't look fake?

Use language that emphasizes transparency and natural blending: 'visible THROUGH the silhouette,' 'subtle transparency,' 'natural transition.' True double exposures have the second image showing through the first, not sitting on top. Mention the blend strength (subtle, medium, strong) and ensure you're working with a portrait that has a clean silhouette against a simple background.

What's the best free tool for creating double exposure effects?

EditThisPic's AI Double Exposure Maker creates professional layered compositions without Photoshop's complex masking and blend modes. Unlike manual methods that require precise selection and opacity adjustments, our AI understands natural language descriptions and creates cohesive blends automatically. Perfect for artists, photographers, and creatives who want double exposure effects without the technical learning curve.

Do I need two photos to create a double exposure?

You have two options: upload a reference image for the AI to blend with your portrait, or describe what you want and let the AI generate or simulate the blend. For example, saying 'blend with forest scenery' without uploading a forest photo will have the AI create the effect. Uploading a specific forest image gives you more control.

What types of portraits work best for double exposure?

Profile shots and portraits with clean silhouettes work best. Simple backgrounds (white, solid colors, or minimal scenes) make it easier for the AI to create clean blends. Portraits with busy backgrounds or unclear edges may need background removal first. Side-view profiles are classic for double exposure, but front-facing portraits work too—just be specific about where the blend should appear.
