Side-by-Side vs Blending: Which Do You Need?

EditThisPic is built for seamless blending (extracting elements and merging them), not side-by-side layouts. For side-by-side, use Canva or PineTools - they're free and designed specifically for collages. EditThisPic would be overkill for simple layouts.

For collages and side-by-side layouts: Canva (best templates), PineTools (simplest), or your phone's built-in Photos app. For seamless blending where you extract a person from one photo and merge them into another: EditThisPic.

That's seamless blending, not side-by-side. You want EditThisPic. Upload your group photo, add a reference photo of the person, and describe where to place them. The AI extracts them and blends them in naturally.

Before/after comparisons are side-by-side layouts. Use Canva or PineTools to place the two photos next to each other with a clear divider. They have templates specifically for this.

Ask yourself: do you want to see both complete photos at once (side-by-side) or do you want elements from one photo inserted into another so it looks like one scene (blending)? The first is collage territory, the second is EditThisPic territory.
