Add deceased loved one to photo: common questions

Why commission a picture of a deceased loved one with family?

With our memorial photo service, missing family members or friends can be included in your most precious memories.

Whether you want a family member or a friend present in your wedding photo or wish to include a departed grandparent in a graduation picture, you can rest assured that our artists will do their utmost to add a loved one to a picture.

Simply provide the photographs, including your passed loved one’s photo and the main photo from a special day. Our artists will then combine your pictures in Photoshop, taking into consideration your preferences for visibility and style. Rest assured, they will make the necessary background edits to blend everything properly, so you will have a beautiful custom keepsake, ready for printing.

Do you use AI or a human photo editor?

With the rise of AI technology, many AI-powered websites and tools claim to offer the seamless integration of lost loved ones into family or wedding photos. They often alter facial structure and other key features, causing people to look like someone else.

Our photo editing services rely on experienced human editors and Photoshop, not on fully automated AI generation, to preserve an individual’s true likeness with care and accuracy.

Our skilled artists will seamlessly merge photos of deceased family members into your favorite photos, providing a realistic result that you will be proud of!

What photos should I use?

To ensure a flawless outcome, please upload clear and high-resolution photos as the quality of your images will significantly impact the final result. We recommend adhering to our photo guidelines for optimal results. We recommend using family gatherings and wedding photos. Fishing or hunting trips, graduations, and gender reveal photos are also suitable.

Rest assured, if the photos you upload do not meet our quality criteria, we will contact you to request alternative photos.

If you’re worried about the quality of your photos or you’re unsure which ones to upload for your request, please contact us.

Do you offer revisions?

Absolutely! Our "add deceased loved one to photo" service comes with unlimited revisions to ensure your complete satisfaction! Your deceased loved one's portrait will be delivered via the Track My Order page, where you can preview and confirm the artwork.

With us, you can seamlessly add deceased loved ones to a family photo, as our ultimate goal is to deliver a final product that exceeds your expectations!

How long does it take?

Most artworks are ready in 2 to 3 days. Around 6 in 10 are delivered within 72 hours, and complex composites or heavy restoration take longer.

Revisions do not restart the clock. Prints are produced after you approve the artwork, and then shipped.

Can you Photoshop Mom or Dad into a Photo?

Yes. Our promise to you is that you will receive a quality result where family members are treated with care.

We seamlessly add a deceased mom or dad into the scene using professional photo editing to achieve a realistic look, whether you prefer a natural presence or a gentle spirit in the background.

Simply upload your photos and we handle creating the final image ready for print.

Can I add a deceased loved one to a group photo?

Yes. We can add a deceased person to a group photo, with a quality result that helps honor lost loved ones.

If the person is alive but couldn't attend, we can also add that person to the group photo.

This allows family members such as parents or grandparents to be included in a family portrait.

Can I customize my order?

Absolutely! If you wish to add multiple lost loved ones to a photo, or if you have a different artwork idea involving a deceased loved one, please contact us at office@pixelsphotoart.com before placing your order so we can provide a quote for your request.

Can you change the background?

We can definitely change the background of your base photo according to your preferences. If the background does not match and cannot be corrected through photo editing, we will notify you and suggest alternatives.

Can you improve my photo?

If your photo needs to be brought back to life, our image restoration service can enhance it by removing scratches, improving quality, and making any necessary edits.

For small edits, select “Improve Photos” from the cart page, and we will improve the photos you’ve uploaded.

Is it possible to add text to the photo?

Absolutely! Adding text to photos is a great way to provide context besides incorporating lost loved ones to photos. You can create captions, or simply add a personal touch.
