What do I need to send?

The photo you want the person added to, and a photo of the person to add. Tell us who goes where. The closer the two photos are in angle and lighting, the more natural the result.

Can you add someone who wasn't there at all?

Yes, from a separate photo of them. The editor matches light, scale and shadows so the person looks like they were standing there. We work from real photos of the person you send. We don't create a person from a description.

Can you swap in a better face from another shot?

Yes, as long as it is the same person. A common case: everyone looks good except one person, and another frame has a better expression. Send both frames and say whose face to swap.

Will it look pasted together?

The editor's job is to prevent that, by matching color, light, edge and perspective. When the photos are very different, for example harsh sun against a dim room, the editor tells you what is realistic before going ahead.

Yes. Send the group photo and a clear photo of the pet. See the example of adding a dog to a family Christmas photo. For other pet edits, such as removing a leash or cleaning up fur, see pet photo editing.

Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

By a real person. A professional editor reads your request, plans the steps your photo needs and chooses the right tool for each one, and a person checks the result before delivery. AI tools help with some steps, such as reducing blur or enlarging a low-resolution photo, but the work is mainly done by hand.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

How long does it take?

Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

Are my photos kept private?

Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
