Add a Deceased Loved One to a Photo: Free AI Prompts

A good prompt is simple and specific. When you want to bring a loved one who has passed back into a family photo, describe where they should be and how the light should feel — the rest the AI handles.

Prompts that work well

• “Place my grandmother sitting beside me at the table, soft warm light.”
• “Add my father standing behind the family, matching the daylight.”
• “Reunite the couple with gentle sunset lighting, natural shadows.”

One tip for realism

Always mention the light — "soft window light", "golden hour", "overcast". Matching light is what makes the result look like a real photograph rather than a cut-out.

Upload your family photo and a clear photo of your loved one, add a short prompt, and download the finished portrait in high definition.
