The scattered family
Grandparents, children and grandchildren living in three countries brought together in a holiday photo, for thirty eight credits and no plane ticket.
Put several people in one photo with AI
Three portraits taken separately become a single group photo, café terrace then ceremony, with all three faces recognisable. Workflow visible here, no account needed.
Real workflow: three portraits each taken on their own, white background, park, living room, then all three together at a café terrace and in a ceremony photo in a garden. The same faces in every image.

Someone is always missing from the family photo: a grandfather far away, a friend abroad, a brother who could not come. This workflow starts from portraits taken separately and turns them into one photo where everyone is together, at a café terrace, then as a ceremony photo.
The hard part is keeping three faces at once, under one light and at the same scale. The prompt names each person by their photo and by two distinctive signs, and requires that all be recognisable. On the demo, all three hold on both photos.
The photo can then become a greeting card or a painting. The two group photos cost thirty eight credits.

Who it is for
Scattered families, couples getting married, remote teams and friends who want a photo together when they could not meet.
Which files to provide
One sharp portrait per person, from the front, and two distinctive signs for each.
How it works
- 1
One sharp portrait per person
From the front or three quarter, well lit, no sunglasses, one person per photo. Backgrounds and lighting can all differ.
- 2
Name each person by their photo
The first, the second, the third, with two signs each: beard, hairstyle, earrings. That is what stops the model from mixing faces.
- 3
Pick a simple scene
A terrace, a garden, a living room: a scene where three people fit naturally in the frame, at the same distance from the lens.
- 4
Check every face
Compare each person with their portrait before sharing. If a face slipped, rerun the image: it is a family photo, likeness comes first.
Variations and use cases
The same canvas, tuned for different needs: each variation is two or three lines of prompt away.
The wedding with someone missing
A loved one who could not come added to the group photo, in the same light as the others, for the couple's album.
The remote team
A team that has never all met brought together in an office or offsite photo, for the careers page or the annual report.
The tribute
Someone who has passed away brought together with their family in a sober photo, presented as a tribute image and shared with those who knew them.
Childhood friends
Friends scattered far apart brought together at the café terrace of their youth, for a class anniversary or a reunion invitation.
The group photo on a card
The group photo then becomes an illustrated greeting card, with the whole family finally together.
Common mistakes
Two people in one portrait
The model no longer knows who is who and mixes the faces. One person per photo, cropped on them.
Not naming the signs
Without a beard, a hairstyle or earrings mentioned, three faces melt into three strangers. Two signs per person, tied to their photo.
Too wide a scene
In a very wide shot, faces are small and get lost. A terrace, a garden, a waist-up framing.
Presenting the image as a real memory
It is a composed photo. For a tribute or an album, say so: nobody should take it for a moment that happened.

How many people at most?
Three or four give the most reliable result. Beyond that, faces in the back get small and alike: make two group photos.
Can I add someone who has passed away?
Yes, with a sharp photo of them. Choose a sober scene and say so in the prompt; it is a tribute image, present it as such.
What about an existing real photo?
Yes: give the existing group photo as the first reference and the portrait of the person to add as the second, with the prompt to insert them.
How much do the two photos cost?
Thirty eight credits, nineteen per photo on Nano Banana Pro. A third scene with the same people costs nineteen more credits.
Why Nano Banana Pro?
Because it keeps faces from several reference photos at once, measured here on three people, and unifies the light across very different portraits.
Are the faces faithful?
On the demo, all three are recognisable on both photos, ages and distinctive signs included. Fidelity depends mostly on how sharp the portraits are.
What output format?
3:2 in 2K, the format of a group photo. A square or vertical format can be picked in the node settings.
Can I bring people together without their consent?
No. Use photos of people who agree to appear together, and never pass off a meeting that did not happen.
