Can you add a cap and gown to a regular photo?

Yes. The editor adds a cap and gown to a regular photo and fits them to the pose, with the folds and shadows rebuilt by hand. If the gown has to match your school's color, send a reference photo of it. A cap or gown that's already in the photo can also be straightened.

Can you change the backdrop?

Yes. Swap it for a yearbook color or a campus scene. Tell us the color, or send the scene photo you want to use. The person is cut out by hand, hair included, so the edges look natural.

Can you add a family member who missed the ceremony?

Yes. Send the group shot and a photo of the person to add, and tell us where they stand. Light and scale are matched by hand. See add people to a photo for more.

I'm a school photographer. Can you edit a whole class?

Yes. Send the class together with the backdrop, gown and skin look you want, so the whole class matches. Larger sets take longer, with an estimate at checkout.

Can you fix closed eyes or a bad smile in a group photo?

Yes, using another frame of the same person. See eyes, smile and teeth.

Is my photo edited by a real person or by AI?

By a real person. Every photo is assigned to a professional human editor who does the work by hand, and a human checks the result before delivery. AI tools are used only for narrow helper steps, never as a one-click filter.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is per photo, in credits, from 1 credit (US$8). The price and delivery time shown at checkout are an estimate. If your edit turns out to need more work than that, the editor pauses that photo and messages you with the extra amount, and nothing more is charged unless you agree. If you decline, that part is dropped and refunded.

How long does it take?

Most orders are back within 24 hours; larger batches take longer, and you'll see an estimate at checkout. There is no paid rush option. If you have a deadline, say so in your order notes and we'll do our best to fit it in, though we can't guarantee a date.

What if I'm not happy with the result?

Ask for changes: revisions are free for 14 days after delivery. They need to follow your original instructions (a new direction counts as a new order). If it still doesn't work out, you get a full refund. The full terms are in our revision policy.

Are my photos kept private?

Yes. We never share your photos or show them publicly, and we never use them for marketing. A few editing steps rely on third-party AI tools — here is exactly which ones, and what we can and can't guarantee. More in our Privacy Policy.
