Real output from the editor — drag to compare.

Someone is always missing from the group photo: the relative who could not travel, the friend behind the camera, the partner deployed overseas. Compositing them in manually is possible but rarely convincing, because two photos never agree on lighting, color, scale, and grain, and human eyes are ruthless at spotting the mismatch on human subjects.

This tool performs the merge with all four matched. Upload the main photo and a photo of the person to add; the AI extracts the person, scales them correctly for their position in the scene, adjusts their lighting direction and color temperature to the main photo's conditions, harmonizes grain and sharpness, and grounds them with appropriate shadows. Placement follows the scene's natural composition, filling the gap a missing member would have occupied.

It is made for family portraits with everyone finally together, group shots that include the photographer, and memorial composites that place a loved one back among the family. The stronger the source photo of the person, similar angle, decent resolution, comparable light, the more seamless the merge. To swap one person for another rather than add, Replace Person is the companion tool.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good photo of the person being added?

Similar camera angle and comparable lighting to the main photo, decent resolution, and the person fully visible. A straight-on photo merges more naturally into a straight-on group shot than a steep selfie angle would.

Where will the person appear in the photo?

The AI places them where the composition naturally accommodates another person, typically alongside the existing group at correct depth and scale.

Will lighting differences between the photos show?

The person is relit to match the main scene: direction, warmth, and contrast are adjusted, and grain is harmonized. Extreme mismatches (harsh noon vs dim indoor) are corrected as far as realism allows.

Can I add someone who has passed away from an old photo?

Yes, memorial composites are one of the most meaningful uses. Choose the clearest photo of them you have; restoration via Photo Restoration first can improve old source material considerably.

Can I try AI Add People to Photos for free?

Yes — every new account starts with 4 free credits, enough to run this tool once at Standard quality. No credit card required.
