AI image merging

Combine images into one photo that actually looks real

Image Combiner

Start here — add your photos

Upload, reorder and label up to four images, then say what the result should look like. No account needed to set it up.

Three steps

Nobody should need a masking tutorial to make one photo out of two

The old way was an hour of pen tool, feathering and shadow painting. This is the same job, described in a sentence.

  1. 01

    Drop in your images

    Two to four files, JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 12 MB each. The first one you add sets the lighting and camera angle for the result, so lead with the shot you like most.

  2. 02

    Say what you want

    One sentence in plain English — who goes where, which light wins, what must not change. Or skip the typing and pick a preset that already contains the right instruction.

  3. 03

    Download the result

    About ten seconds later you get a single image at full resolution. Not quite there? Tweak the sentence and run it again — the second attempt is usually the one.

Real examples

Eleven things people combine photos for

What people build

One tool, nine jobs it does well

Every preset is a written instruction we tuned by hand. Pick the one that matches your job and the prompt writing is already done.

Why results hold up

The hard part was never
putting two pictures side by side

It was making the second one look like it was always there. Six things we spend our engineering time on, in order of how often they break other tools.

Example of a merged portrait with matched lighting
  • Faces stay the same face

    Identity is protected on every pass — features, skin tone, hair, expression. The model rebuilds the light around a person, not the person.

  • Shadows that agree with the light

    A subject moved into a new scene gets a contact shadow, matched colour temperature and the right falloff. That's the difference between a composite and a cut-out.

  • Labels and logos survive

    Packaging text, brand marks and signage come through legible instead of being redrawn into plausible nonsense. It's the failure mode we test hardest against.

  • Aspect ratios that fit where it's going

    Square for the grid, 9:16 for stories, 4:3 for print, or keep the shape of whatever you uploaded. Chosen before the render, not cropped after.

  • Fast enough to iterate

    Around ten seconds per merge, so trying a second phrasing costs you a coffee sip rather than a coffee break. Most good results are the second attempt.

  • Your photos stay yours

    Uploads are never used for training and never sold. Delete a merge and its source images go with it, permanently, from the workspace.

Who it's for

Four groups of people keep coming back

Different jobs, same underlying problem: two images that need to become one, and no appetite for an afternoon of masking.

Ecommerce teams

One clean pack-shot becomes twenty lifestyle images without booking a studio or a set.

Families and friends

Get everyone into one photo, even when nobody was in the same room — or the same country.

Designers and agencies

Mockups, key visuals and pitch decks, done in the time it used to take to open the brief.

Estate and interiors

Stage an empty room from a reference photo and keep the architecture exactly as it is.

Honest comparison

Against doing it by hand

Photoshop still wins on control, and we'd tell you to use it for a hero image that has to be perfect. For the other ninety images, this is the trade most people want.

What it replaced, in their words

Four notes we asked permission to publish. No incentives, no edits beyond trimming for length.

“We photograph 60 products a week and every one needs three lifestyle variants. This turned a two-day retouching cycle into an afternoon. The label detail holds up, which is the part I was sceptical about.”
MKMarion KlasseEcommerce lead, Nordwerk
“My parents live 4,000 miles away and haven't been in a photo with our daughter yet. I stitched three phone pictures into one and my mother cried. That's not a review of software, but it's what happened.”
DODanny OkonjoNot a designer, just a dad
“I bill by the hour, so anything that removes masking work is money. I still finish in Photoshop, but I start from something 80% there instead of a blank canvas.”
PRPriya RaghunathanFreelance retoucher
“The prompt guidance is the useful bit. It told me my instruction was vague before it wasted a credit, which no other tool I've paid for does.”
TFTomás FerreiraBrand designer, Lisbon
