Add a deceased loved one to a photo with two uploads and a private AI preview. Keep it only when it feels right.
One free, watermarked preview. No account needed.
The photo you want to keep as the base
A clear, front-facing portrait to add
Add both photos and confirm permission to create your free preview.
Synthetic example
This example uses synthetic or licensed source material. It shows the quality bar for a believable family photograph, not a guaranteed outcome from every pair of inputs.
How it works
Upload the family photo you want to keep as the base, then a separate portrait of your loved one. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP files under 10 MB each. Before you add a deceased loved one to a photo, check that both faces are sharp and that you have permission to use both images.
Choose side by side, an embrace, or a portrait arrangement if you wish. Confirm permission and request your watermarked preview. Inspect facial features, body scale and lighting before deciding whether to continue. A memorial photo should feel recognizable to you; there is no need to accept an image that does not.
Sign in with Google within seven days to save the preview to your private history. Signing in does not generate another photo or spend credits. Purchase credits only if you want a watermark-free HD generation or an AI refinement. Review the new result before downloading; it can differ from the original preview.
Better input, better result
Use uncropped, sharp faces with eyes and facial contours clearly visible.
Choose photos with similar, soft lighting and avoid extreme filters.
Similar camera angles and age-appropriate references reduce pasted-on results.
AI can alter identity, hands, jewelry, or clothing. Always review before sharing or printing.
A meaningful memorial photograph starts with a moment you want to remember, not an elaborate effect. Our add deceased loved one to photo tool works with two images, without manual cutouts or editing layers. The aim is a respectful imagined keepsake, not evidence that the person was present. Choose the base image first, then a portrait that belongs naturally in its light and perspective.
To add a deceased loved one to a family photo, look for open space beside the people already in the frame. A simple background and a relaxed pose give the edit fewer competing details. Check that the added person's head and shoulders are proportional to everyone else. If the group fills the frame edge to edge, another base photo may work better than forcing someone into a narrow gap.
Some families want a keepsake from a milestone their loved one could not attend. Use a reference that matches the way you want to remember them, without assuming AI will reproduce formal clothing precisely. An imagined wedding portrait can be deeply personal. Ask the people pictured before sharing, and describe it as an AI memorial edit so it is not mistaken for an original photograph.
Choose a reference with visible eyes, a clear jawline and an unobstructed face. Avoid sunglasses, strong beauty filters and screenshots compressed several times. If you only have a printed photograph, make an evenly lit scan or photograph it without reflections. Before uploading, compare the reference at full size: the model cannot reliably recover an identity from facial detail that is not there.
Side-by-side placement is a useful starting point when both source photos show similar poses. An embrace asks AI to invent more interaction, especially arms, hands and overlapping clothing. Portrait arrangements also depend on compatible head angles. For a convincing edit, prioritize a believable position and shared lighting before requesting a more complex scene. None of the composition choices guarantees a particular result.
Look at the features you know best: expression, smile, eye shape and familiar age. Then check shadows, skin tones, head size, fingers, jewelry and clothing seams. With AI editing, an attractive image can still feel unlike that person. Keep your original files and compare them with the result. If something feels wrong, you do not need to download or share it.
Decide who the keepsake is for before making it public. Family members can respond differently to an AI memorial photo, and a private conversation may be more appropriate than a surprise post. Get permission for the source images and consider the wishes of people shown. The tool does not post to social networks automatically. If you share the finished image yourself, explain that it is an edited tribute rather than a historical record.

Credits never expire. Within 14 days of purchase, unused credits are eligible for a proportional refund; credits spent on a successful generation are non-refundable. Provider failures return the reserved credit automatically.
Privacy and trust
Your photos are not published automatically. The two photos and your editing instructions are processed by a third-party AI service to create the image. Unsaved guest photos expire after seven days. Photos saved to your account stay private until you delete them or close your account. Read our privacy policy before uploading sensitive photographs.
Anonymous photos and results expire after seven days
Private account history with download and delete controls
You can try one low-resolution, watermarked preview without an account. Free means a preview, not a free HD download. The allowance is once per visitor or account, not a daily refill; signing in does not unlock a second allowance. Save the preview by signing in within seven days. HD generation and refinement require purchased credits.
Your images are not placed in a public gallery or posted to social networks. We use a third-party AI service to process the photos and editing instructions needed for your request. Private storage does not mean processing happens only on your device, or guarantee that third parties never use data for training. Please read the privacy policy before uploading.
No exact likeness is guaranteed. The goal is a believable family photograph with consistent identity, lighting, perspective, skin tone and grain, not a sticker-like collage. AI can change expressions or recognizable features. Compare the result with the original portrait before keeping it, and do not treat an attractive result as proof of an accurate likeness.
No. PhotoMemorial AI is an independent photo tool and does not provide grief counseling, identity verification, or automatic social publishing.
You can use a wedding or group photograph as the base and one portrait as the reference. Leave space for the added person and choose similar camera angles. Crowded groups and tiny faces make a convincing edit harder. This two-image workflow does not guarantee that every person, outfit or background detail will stay unchanged.
A clear scan of an old print can be useful. Crop away the scanner border, not the person's face, and avoid glare when photographing a print. Severe blur or missing facial detail gives the model less evidence and may produce an unfamiliar face. The tool is not a guaranteed restoration service; use a clearer reference when possible.
No. HD is a new generation using your source photos and costs one credit. Faces, poses and other details may differ from the preview. Review the HD result itself before printing or sharing it. Downloading an already-generated paid result again does not cost another credit; requesting another generation or refinement does.
After a paid result exists, use the refinement controls to describe one specific change, such as softer lighting or a more natural placement. Each refinement costs one credit. AI may also change details you did not mention, so compare the full image afterward. Refinement is not a promise of exact, pixel-level editing or perfect identity preservation.
If a paid generation fails, its credit is returned automatically. If the result is delayed, check the task status before submitting another request. A completed image that you dislike is different from a failed generation, so review the preview carefully and read the refund policy before buying credits. You will not be charged again to download an existing paid result.
Yes. Use the delete control in your private photo history for saved tasks. Unclaimed anonymous files expire after seven days; signing in and claiming them changes that retention to account storage until deletion. Account closure removes photo assets, while payment records may be retained for legal and financial obligations. See the privacy policy for the provider data flow.
