“Does anyone know how to add a family member who passed away onto a recent family picture?”
Modern cloud‑based editors such as FlexClip make it possible to bring a loved one back into cherished moments. With simple drag‑and‑drop tools, you can honor their memory without mastering complex software.
Below is a step‑by‑step guide that keeps your photos authentic, respectful, and effortless.
Step‑by‑Step: Adding a Deceased Loved One Into a Photo with FlexClip
Step 1: Prepare Your Images
Select a base photo that captures the moment you wish to preserve—weddings, reunions, holidays, or everyday gatherings. Then choose a portrait of the deceased with clear lighting and a pose that will fit naturally in the final composition.
Step 2: Upload the Photos to FlexClip
Click Get Started Now to launch the editor. Drag the files into the workspace or use the Local Files picker to import images from your computer, Google Drive, or Google Photos.
Step 3: Add Your Photos to the Canvas
Set the canvas to match your base photo’s aspect ratio. Add the base photo as the background scene, then place the portrait of your loved one as a separate layer.
Step 4: Remove the Background with AI
With the portrait layer selected, choose AI > Image BG Remover. FlexClip’s machine‑learning engine will isolate the subject, leaving a clean cut‑out ready for blending.
Step 5: Position & Blend
Resize and position the cut‑out where it feels natural. For a gentle, “spiritual” effect, lower the opacity slightly and consider adding a soft glow.
Step 6: Add Final Touches
Use the Edit & Stroke tool to apply a subtle glow or halo. Pick a pastel or white color, adjust opacity, and preview until the image feels cohesive.
When satisfied, click Export Frame on the timeline to save the composite photo. You now have a heartfelt keepsake to share with family.
