A practical guide for “add a person to a group photo”
TogetherLens rebuilds the whole scene from the provided portraits, so the added person matches the lighting and framing instead of looking pasted in.
Works best when the group photo shows two to four clear faces and the extra portrait is recent, front-facing, and well lit.

Choose source photos the model can read
TogetherLens creates a new composition from the people you provide. It does not need matching backgrounds, but it does need clear facial information. Start with the original file when possible rather than a screenshot downloaded from a social network or messaging app.
- One clear portrait of the person to add
- Group photo should show 2–4 faces
- Check likeness of every face at full size
- Keep each face fully visible and ask every living person for permission.
Generate in three deliberate steps
- Add two to five people.Use one clear portrait for each person and review every crop before continuing.
- Choose one or two vibes.Pick a scene that supports the story instead of competing with the faces.
- Inspect the result.Check eyes, teeth, hands, clothing, jewelry, and meaningful background details before sharing or printing.
What to avoid
- Adding someone without consent
- Using blurry or filtered portraits
- Presenting the result as a real photograph
Generated photos are creative images, not documentary evidence. Disclose that the result is AI-generated when context matters, and never use someone’s face to impersonate, embarrass, or mislead.
Questions about this portrait
Can I add one person to an existing group photo?
Yes. Provide the group photo plus one clear portrait of the person, and TogetherLens generates a new scene with everyone together.
Does the background need to match?
No. The app composes a fresh scene from the portraits, so different backgrounds are fine.
