Tools to add a loved one to a photo, compared
Facts from each official website, checked
Five tools add a person into a photo you already have and are built for it: All of Us, Vidney, PhotoMemorial AI, AddFamilyPhoto and BringBack. The biggest differences are whether you need an account to try, whether you pay per image or per photo you keep, and whether the tool says it leaves everyone else in the photo unchanged. All of Us is the only one that shows previews with no account; Vidney and PhotoMemorial AI cost far less per image.

Different approach: DuoPortrait and ImageCombiner
These two come up in the same searches but work differently. DuoPortrait builds a brand-new portrait of two people from one photo of each, so it is for making a new picture together rather than adding someone to a photo you already have. ImageCombiner is a general tool for combining two images; it mentions adding a deceased loved one as one use, and states that existing faces may change.
| Field | DuoPortrait | ImageCombiner |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Generates a new two-person portrait from one photo of each person. It does not edit a photo you already have. | General tool that combines two images with AI. Adding a deceased loved one is one use it mentions. |

What a result from All of Us looks like
Each one started as two separate photos: the photo from the day, and one picture of the person who was added.
What All of Us doesn't do
- The lowest price is $29. Per image, Vidney ($0.99) and PhotoMemorial AI ($4.90 for 10) cost much less.
- The free previews carry a watermark. You pay to download a clean, full-resolution photo.
- One loved one per photo on The photo and Keepsake set; adding a second needs Whole family ($79).
- There is no app. It works in the browser on a phone or computer.
- Results are AI-generated images, not real photographs.
How we compared
We make All of Us.
We make All of Us, so read this with that in mind. Every fact about another tool comes from that tool's own website, checked on November 5, 2026. "Not stated" means we could not find it on their site. "Unclear" means their pages say different things, and we show both. We did not run the same photo through every tool, so this page does not judge image quality. Prices are in US dollars and can change; check each site before you pay.
Checked

You can try several tools for free, but most charge for a clean, full-resolution result. All of Us shows 3 watermarked previews with no account. Vidney gives free credits after sign-in (free downloads are watermarked). AddFamilyPhoto gives 1 watermarked preview with a free account. ImageCombiner gives 10 free credits and DuoPortrait a free first photo, but both work differently from the others.
Which tools say they keep everyone else in the photo unchanged?
All of Us and Vidney state it. PhotoMemorial AI and ImageCombiner state they do not guarantee it. AddFamilyPhoto and BringBack do not say either way.
Which one is cheapest?
Per image, Vidney ($0.99) and PhotoMemorial AI ($4.90 for 10) are cheapest. All of Us costs $29 to $79, but you pay once, only for a photo you decide to keep, after seeing previews.
Do these tools use my photos to train AI?
All of Us, Vidney, AddFamilyPhoto and ImageCombiner say they do not. BringBack says not for "general-purpose" models, DuoPortrait says it does not fine-tune on uploads, and PhotoMemorial AI says it cannot promise that its processing provider excludes them from training.
