Step-by-step

How to Create a Family Photo

A how-to for creating a family photo or family picture from the photos you already have. The product lives on the homepage. This page walks through each step.

Create a family picture without a shared shoot

The homepage is where you make an AI family photo. Use this guide when you want the sequence in writing: which photos to collect, how many people fit, what a style does, and what you get at the end. It is a how-to, not a second homepage.

How to create a family photo

Gather one photo of each person

Ask each adult, child, and pet for a clear, front-facing photo. Selfies from different rooms and cities are fine. You can include up to 14 people and pets.

Create an account and open the generator

Upload the photos

Add one image per person. If you only have a group shot of some people, crop each face into its own file so the likeness is clear.

Pick a style

Choose one of 350+ styles. The style sets the scene for everyone: studio, holiday, birthday, or everyday.

Generate and review

One portrait costs 45 credits. Check faces and composition. Generate again in another style if you want a second look.

Download or print

Save the high-resolution file. You can also order a canvas or framed print from the Prints page.

Photo tips before you upload

One face per file. If two people share a snapshot, crop each face so the generator can read it.
Light on the face. Window light or an even indoor lamp beats a backlit silhouette.
Skip heavy sunglasses when you can. Eyes help the likeness.
Pets count. Include a photo of the dog or cat if they belong in the picture. They share the 14-person limit.

After you generate, you can try another style with the same uploads. Browse all styles or jump to a specific job such as the family photo editor or the AI group photo generator.

Create a family photo FAQ

How do I create a family photo if we cannot get together?

Collect a photo of each person, upload them to Family Photo Maker, pick a style, and generate one new portrait. Up to 14 people and pets can appear in the picture. They do not need to have stood in the same room.

Is this the same as the homepage?

The homepage is the product. This page is the how-to: the steps, the photo tips, and what to expect. Use the homepage when you are ready to start an AI family photo.

How do I create a family picture from old selfies?

Recent, well-lit, front-facing photos work best. Older photos are fine when that is what you have, as long as the face is clear. Avoid heavy sunglasses and tiny crops from a crowd.

Is it private?

Your uploaded photos are processed securely and temporarily for generation. They are stored in your account so you can access them, and they are not used to train AI models without your explicit consent. Photos are not shared with third parties except as necessary to provide the service. You can delete individual photos or your whole account at any time. The full policy is on the Privacy Policy page.

How much does it cost?

One portrait costs 45 credits. See current plans and packs on the Pricing page.
