Add a lost loved one to your family pictures

How to add them

• Pick a family photo with a little space where they could stand or sit.
• Upload one to three clear photos of your loved one.
• Say where they should be, like "next to Grandma on the sofa".
• Look at the free preview, then keep the full-size picture if you like it.

Occasions people choose

• A holiday or birthday photo, with them there this year.
• A wedding or graduation, with a parent or grandparent beside you.
• A new baby, with a grandparent they never met.
• A family portrait to hang at home.

Kept simple and kind

They are shown as themselves, like anyone else in the photo. No effects, no glow. The people already in your picture are not changed. The preview is free, and you pay only if you keep the picture, from $6.99.

Photo tips

• For the person you are adding, pick a photo where their face is clear and well lit. Looking toward the camera works best.
• Two or three photos of them from different days help the picture look more like them.
• Old, faded or black-and-white photos are fine. The finished picture is in colour to match your family photo.
• For the family photo, leave a little room where they would naturally stand or sit.
