How do I make a group photo from separate photos with AI?

To make a group photo with AI, upload one clear photo of each person to a multi-reference image model and describe the shot — "everyone standing together in a park, same light, keep each face the same". Kenerate's AI group photo generator opens the editor with that instruction filled in on Nano Banana 2.1 (up to 14 photos); GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst takes up to 16 and Qwen Image 3.0 does 2–3 people on the free plan. Use photos only of adults who agreed, and say it's an AI image when you share it.

How to

How to use the AI group photo generator

Time needed
Steps
4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Open the group photo generator

    Press “Add the photos”. Image Studio opens on Nano Banana 2.1 with a group-photo instruction in the prompt box. Sign in free for starter credits.

  2. Step 2

    Upload one photo per person

    Add a clear photo of each adult who agreed to be in the picture — up to 14 on Nano Banana 2.1, 16 on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, 3 on the free Qwen Image 3.0.

  3. Step 3

    Set the scene and the order

    Keep the park at golden hour or write your own: an office, a beach, a living room. Say who stands where by image number, and any heights that matter.

  4. Step 4

    Create, check every face, download

    Press Create, compare each face with its source photo, rerun if one drifted, and download without a watermark. Label it as an AI image when you share it.

Tips

Make the group look photographed together, not pasted

Most fake-looking group photos come from mismatched source photos. Fix those before you press Create.

  • Use one sharp photo per person, face visible, taken from roughly the same angle — all front-on, or all three-quarter.

  • Crop every photo the same way: all head-and-shoulders, or all waist-up. Mixing a selfie with a full-length shot breaks the scale.

  • Say how many people there are and where each goes: “five people; the person from image 1 on the far left, image 2 next to them…”.

  • Give heights if they matter: “the person from image 3 is the tallest, image 4 is about a head shorter”.

  • Name one light for the whole scene — “soft overcast daylight” or “warm indoor lamp light” — so nobody looks lit from a different room.

  • Past four or five people, check every face. If one drifts, run the group in two halves, or rerun and keep the best take.

FAQ

AI Group Photo Generator questions

How do I make a group photo from separate photos with AI?

Upload one clear photo of each person to a multi-reference image model and describe the scene: where everyone stands, the place and the light, and that each face, hairstyle and outfit must stay the same. On Kenerate, press “Add the photos” — Image Studio opens on Nano Banana 2.1 with that instruction filled in — add the photos, press Create and check every face before you download.

Is the AI group photo generator free?

Free to start. A new Kenerate account gets 25 credits on sign-up, and Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan: a group of 3 costs 11.7 credits, so the starter credits cover two tries. Nano Banana 2.1 (21 credits at 1K), Seedream 5.0 Pro (13.5) and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (7.2 + 4.5 per photo) use credits from one-time packs — there's no subscription. Downloads carry no watermark.

How many people can I put in one AI group photo?

The editor accepts up to 3 photos on Qwen Image 3.0, 10 on Seedream 5.0 Pro, 14 on Nano Banana 2.1 and 16 on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst. Accepting a photo isn't the same as keeping that face exact: Google's Gemini API docs list up to 4 character images for character consistency on Nano Banana 2.1. For bigger groups, check every face, rerun when one drifts, or make the group in two halves.

Why does one person look different in the group photo?

Each extra face is one more thing the model has to hold at once, and image models can drift — OpenAI's own docs say its image model may struggle to keep recurring characters consistent. Use a sharper, front-facing photo of that person, name them by image number (“keep the face from image 3 exactly the same”), shrink the group, or try a different model and keep the best take.

How do I make the people look the right size and height?

Start with photos cropped the same way — all head-and-shoulders or all waist-up — so the model isn't scaling a close selfie next to a full-length shot. Then write heights in the prompt: “the person from image 2 is the tallest; image 4 is about a head shorter than image 1”. A row of people standing on the same ground, shot at eye level, is the easiest group for a model to get right.

Can I add someone who wasn't there to a real group photo?

Yes, if everyone in it agrees. Upload the original group photo first and the extra person's photo second, and write “add the person from image 2 standing at the right end of the group, same light and scale, keep everyone else exactly the same”. Share it as an edited picture, not as a record of a day that person attended.

Can I make a group photo with children in it?

No. Kenerate is for photos of adults: prompts that mention children, minors or ages under 18 are blocked, and you shouldn't upload photos of anyone under 18. For a family picture, use photos of the adult members who agreed.

Can I make a group photo with a celebrity?

No. Don't put public figures, or anyone who hasn't agreed, into a group photo. A believable picture of a real person somewhere they never were can mislead people — Google's generative AI policy, for one, prohibits impersonating an individual without explicit disclosure in order to deceive. Use photos of people you know who said yes.

What group photos can I make with AI?

Team photos for a website or a deck when people work in different cities; friends who live far apart in one holiday picture; relatives who couldn't make the same reunion; a club or band line-up. Write the setting — office lobby, beach, living room, stage — and the light, and keep the same prompt to make matching pictures later.

Is my group photo real or AI — do I have to say?

It's a new AI-made image of real people, so be open about it. Tell everyone in it before you post, and caption it as an AI or edited photo, especially on a company page or anywhere people might take it as a real event. Don't use it to prove that someone was somewhere.

In depth

AI Group Photo Generator, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

How does an AI group photo generator work?

It's a multi-reference edit, not a cut-and-paste collage. All your photos and one instruction go to an image model's edit endpoint together; the model reads each person's face, hair and clothes, then draws a brand-new photo with everyone in the scene you describe — one camera angle, one light, shadows on the same ground.

Because the picture is drawn fresh, the background, poses and even small details can change. That's why the instruction names what must stay (faces, hair, clothes) and why you check each face against its source photo before you download.
