How It Works

Adding a person to any photo with PixelDojo is simple, fast, and delivers photorealistic outcomes. Our Inpainting, Image to Image, Consistent Characters, and Reality Polisher tools work together to analyze your scene’s lighting, perspective, depth, and style, then intelligently composite the new person so it looks like they truly belong. No technical skills required — just clear intent and a few clicks.

1

Upload Your Base Photo & Mask the Area

Go to Edit Images and select Inpainting. Upload the photo where you want to add someone. Use the intuitive brush tool to mask the space for the new person. Our AI immediately analyzes the entire scene — understanding lighting direction, environmental reflections, floor perspective, and how other people interact with the space. This ensures the added person will cast realistic shadows and fit the depth perfectly. For best results, choose photos with good lighting and clear space.

2

Describe or Reference the Person

Tell the AI exactly who to add with a detailed prompt like "35 year old woman with shoulder-length brown hair, warm smile, wearing a light blue summer dress and sandals, standing naturally with weight on one leg." Or upload a clear reference photo. For exact likenesses, first create a Consistent Character using our Characters & Faces tools with LoRA Face Swap or reference images. This step ensures skin tone, face shape, and style match the scene perfectly. PixelDojo’s advanced models like Flux.1 Studio and Grok Image handle complex details like hair movement and fabric texture.

3

Generate, Polish & Download

Click generate to create multiple realistic variations. Review the results, then enhance with Reality Polisher for maximum photorealism, Magic Lighting to fine-tune shadows and highlights, or Portrait Upscaler for crisp details. Make small adjustments with additional inpainting if needed. The entire process takes under a minute per iteration. Once perfect, download high-resolution images ready for sharing, printing, or professional use. You can create unlimited variations until it matches your vision exactly.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about ai add person to photo

How does AI add a person to an existing photo realistically?

PixelDojo’s Inpainting tool first analyzes your entire uploaded photo to understand lighting direction, color temperature, perspective lines, depth of field, and how existing people interact with the environment. When you mask an area and describe the new person or provide a reference image, the AI composites them while automatically generating appropriate shadows, reflections, highlights, and even subtle interactions like foot placement on uneven ground. After generation, tools like Reality Polisher enhance fine details such as skin texture and hair strands while Magic Lighting ensures perfect harmony. The outcome is a seamless image that looks like it was captured in one shot by a professional photographer. This is far more sophisticated than simple copy-paste and delivers the emotional authenticity users seek when restoring memories or creating new narratives.
