Add object to photo with a place and purpose in mind

An empty part of a photograph does not always need filling. It may provide room for a caption or balance a large subject. Before you add anything, decide what the object should communicate: a plant could suggest a lived-in workspace, while a cup may explain the use of a table. Keep that purpose visible in the request.

Use Add Object to Photo when a new item belongs in an available space. If an existing lamp should become a different lamp, use replacement. If the scene needs a completely different room, use the background changer. Starting with the correct task makes it easier to preserve the composition you already like.

"Add a plant" leaves the location open. "Place a small plant on the left side of the desk, behind the notebook" defines a surface, a side and an overlap. These relationships are easier to inspect than an isolated object name. State whether the item should be in front of or behind nearby objects when the order matters.

Relative scale helps too. A pot half the height of the desk lamp is more concrete than a small pot in a scene without context. Add Object to Photo can interpret the visual relationships, but you should still inspect the output. The model may choose a plausible size that differs from the one you intended.

Look at the supporting surface and the camera view. A narrow shelf may not have enough visible depth for a large vase. A hat on a person's head needs to meet the hair and follow the head's angle. The new object's shape can require changes to a larger region than its central position suggests.

If the request needs room outside the existing frame, the canvas can be extended as part of the intended change. Newly added space is generated content too. For a major framing change, plan the extension first so you can judge the composition before filling it with another element. Add Object to Photo is easier to review when the target area is clear.

Illustrative prompt, not a tested result: "Add a small terracotta pot with a leafy plant to the empty left side of the desk. The pot should be about half the height of the lamp, behind the notebook. Match the window light from the right and preserve the laptop, lamp and desk edge."

1. 1

   Open the main scene

   Upload JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC up to 20MB per file. Confirm which image is the scene and which, if any, is a reference for the new object.

2. 2

   Name the object and its place

   Describe appearance, relative size, supporting surface and overlap. Keep unrelated styling changes out of the first request.

3. 3

   Check placement before detail

   Review whether the object is in the intended position and scale. Then inspect its shape, material, shadow and the preserved surroundings at full size.

Start at the contact point. A pot should rest on the desk rather than float above it or sink into it. The cast shadow should connect to the base and agree with existing shadows. If the object is behind a notebook, the notebook should remain in front without merging into the new pot.

For accessories worn by a person, review the interaction with anatomy. A hat needs a believable angle and contact with the head; glasses need a coherent relationship with the nose and ears. Add Object to Photo can create a visual proposal, but small overlap errors can make an otherwise attractive result unusable.

A reference photograph can explain the look of the object you want. Say that the room or portrait is the main image and that the reference supplies the object appearance. If you want only a color or material from the reference, state that narrower role. Multiple references should each contribute a distinct piece of information.

Add Object to Photo generates an interpretation; it is not an exact asset-placement guarantee. Logos, product proportions and small construction details can change. If the object must match a specific item, compare every necessary feature against the reference and the physical product. Use a conventional compositing workflow when precise placement of an unchanged asset is the essential requirement.

Also compare the original scene after the addition. Check nearby text, faces and straight edges for unintended changes. A request to preserve them defines what you need to verify, not a promise that the rest of the photo will be pixel-identical.

Each Add Object to Photo task produces one image and keeps the source available as a separate version. Select the original again if you want to compare a plant with a different prop. Continue from an accepted version only when the next edit should build on that addition.

Generation costs 10 credits at 1K, 20 at 2K and 30 at 4K. Auto normally starts at 1K. Internal retries do not add another charge. A new variation you submit uses the displayed price, while selecting an existing result is free. A higher resolution tier does not by itself correct an object that is in the wrong place or an implausible shadow.

Look at the whole image at its final display size. The added object might be correctly rendered yet distract from the intended subject. Check whether it blocks useful negative space or changes the implied scale of the scene. For commercial images, ensure a prop does not suggest that an accessory is included with a product when it is not.

Export the accepted image as PNG, JPG or WebP. Basic crop and resize tools can fit it to the destination without another generated edit. Keep the original and the accepted addition distinguishable outside the app. For more control over the written brief, use the prompt guide; for a swap in an occupied space, continue with the object replacer.
