A practical guide for “merge people into one photo”
The five-minute answer
How to merge people into one photo with AI
- Choose one portrait per person.Use clear, permissioned portraits for each of two to five people, with faces and shoulders visible.
- Pick one shared setting.Choose a porch, rooftop, park, or studio scene that gives everyone enough space in the new group picture.
- Generate, inspect, and label.Create the new composition, check faces, hands, clothing, and background details, then label it as AI-generated before sharing.
Need a collage that keeps the original pixels? Use a collage tool for that. TogetherLens creates a new AI group scene and leaves the source photos unchanged.
Make a free three-photo strip if you want a layout with separate frames. Nothing uploads to TogetherLens. Frames are resized and may be cropped; your original files stay unchanged. This does not combine people into one scene.
TogetherLens is free to install. Photo generation uses paid tokens; Premium is optional and auto-renewing. Check current local prices, included tokens and renewal or cancellation terms in the app before buying.
Inside the app
See how separate portraits become one photo
See an AI group portrait first, then the separate source portraits, scene selection and result review. TogetherLens creates a new picture rather than pasting the original photos together.

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 solo portrait per person
- Keep each face fully visible and ask every living person for permission.
Generate in three deliberate steps
- Add the selected portraits.Check the group limit in your current app version. Use one clear, permissioned portrait per person and review every crop.
- 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
- Claiming the output is an original 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.
