Make it your own

Make room for someone in the picture.

Choose a person photo, then upload a background or describe a new setting. Adjust the position and approximate size, and guide the lighting and spacing in the finished composition.

A background photo or a description

Keep a particular location with a reference image, or describe the setting when you do not have a background photo.

Decide the placement

Choose left, center, or right and a relative size before creating the composition.

Keep the source photos

The new result becomes a separate asset so you can revisit the originals and try another direction.

Put yourself in a place you choose.

Upload the person and the target background. The background supplies the setting; the person photo supplies the face, hair and outfit to bring into it.

  • One person image is enough for this mode
  • A dedicated background description
  • No pose instruction required

Background

A candid everyday photograph inside a modern subway carriage, with metal poles, doors and seats in the background. Soft overhead lighting, natural perspective and a casually framed composition. Keep the person as the clear main subject.

Room for the view

Keep the landscape in the story.

Choose a smaller relative size to leave space for the location. A full-body source is useful when the result needs feet, ground contact and a shadow.

  • Small, medium or large relative size
  • A background photo anchors the location
  • Keep the source and result as separate assets

How to use Add Person to Photo

01

Choose your person and setting

Upload a clear photo of the person. Add a background image to use an existing scene, or choose the written-background mode and describe a place.

02

Set the placement

Pick left, center, or right and an approximate size. Add instructions about light, spacing, or existing people to preserve.

03

Review the composition

Check the person’s scale, shadows, and boundaries. Download the new photo or continue with it in another photo tool.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Add a person to a background photo or a setting described in words. A scene reference keeps the location explicit; a written background lets you create a new setting around the person.

Do I need a background photo?

Use a background photo to keep a particular place, or choose a written background and describe the setting. Both modes use your uploaded person photo.

Can I decide where the person appears?

Yes. Choose left, center, or right, then small, medium, or large. The preview is a placement guide, not a prediction of the final AI result.

Does the original photo get replaced?

No. Original uploads and generated results are separate assets. You can return to the original or use a result as a new reference.

Can I add several people at once?

This tool adds one person to a background photo or a setting described in words. For a composition using several people or other references, try AI Image Combiner.

What kind of person reference works best?

Use a clear photo with a compatible camera angle and light direction. A full-body reference is useful when the result needs the person’s whole body.

Will the background and existing people stay identical?

The tool asks the model to preserve the scene, but generation can change existing faces or details. Compare the result with the original before sharing it.

Can I use a photo from My assets?

Yes. Choose a saved photo from My assets or use a previous output as a reference. Check that the scene and person roles are correct before creating.
