How do I control exactly where the new object appears?

You can control the placement using simple prepositions in your prompt. Be specific about the location relative to other items in the image, such as "on the nightstand," "beside the bed," "in the sky," or "next to the laptop."

Will the added object look like it belongs in the scene?

Yes. The AI analyzes the lighting, shadows, perspective, and style of your original image. When it adds a new element, it automatically adjusts that object's shadows and colors to blend naturally with the existing environment.

Can I add multiple objects at the same time?

Yes. You don't need to do one edit at a time. You can describe multiple additions in a single prompt, such as: "Add a lamp on the table and place a rug on the floor."

Does adding a person or object overwrite my original image?

No. As with all editing features in getimg.ai, adding an element generates a completely new image file. Your original image remains untouched in your gallery, allowing you to try different variations safely.

Guide to Adding Objects and People to Images

Learn how to add new objects, people, or other elements to your images in getimg.ai using short, natural edit prompts.

How It Works

You can add new elements (like people, objects, or decor) to any image right inside getimg.ai's Content Generator.

There are two ways to do it:

Using the main prompt box (great for uploaded or already generated images)
Editing from the full image view (handy when you’re working on an existing image).

Option 1. Edit from Full Image View

Perfect for adding objects to an image you’re already viewing.

Click an image in Content Generator to open it in full view.
Use the prompt box below the image to describe your edit. Examples:
- add a lamp on the nightstand beside the bed
- add a bird flying in the sky above the mountains
Click the arrow in the prompt box to create your new version.

Your original image will remain unchanged: the new one appears as a separate result.

Option 2. Edit Using the Main Prompt Box

All you need to do is:

Click the "Reference" icon in the prompt box in the Content Generator.
Press "Upload a file" and select one from your device, or "Choose existing" and pick one from the images you've previously generated.
In the prompt box, describe what you want to add. Examples:
- add a red umbrella on the ground, preserve everything else
- add a person reading a book on the bench
- add a steaming cup of coffee next to the laptop
Click the arrow in the prompt box to generate the edit.

That’s it! Try adding a few details and see how naturally they blend into your image.
