Choose Everyone’s Best Expression from Multiple Group Photos

Yes. Upload photos of the same group, choose a base photo, and select a source expression for each person. You make the final choice; the editor does not automatically decide which expression is best.

Yes, if another uploaded photo has a usable expression of that same person. Choose that source and inspect the alignment and blending. If none of your photos shows the expression you need, this editor cannot generate it.

Face Merge does not generate a new face or identity. Models help detect faces and match people; unlike a generative face swap, the replacement expression comes from another photo you upload of the same person.

No. A collage places separate photos next to each other. Face Merge combines real expressions from photos of the same people into one group photo.

Upload 2–10 photos of the same group. Three to five photos with similar angles, lighting and camera position usually offer more useful choices. Heavy occlusion, large head turns or a missing source expression can limit the result.

You can upload, detect faces and edit without registering. A registered account is required when you request an original-size export without a watermark. Anonymous source uploads are limited to 10 photos per rolling 24 hours by anonymous account and client IP.

You can edit and review a protected preview without paying. A standard original-size download without a watermark costs 10 credits and requires a registered account with enough credits.

This editor accepts JPEG, PNG and WebP photos in a modern browser with JavaScript enabled. You can use desktop or mobile controls; local project recovery also needs available browser storage. Convert HEIC photos to a supported format before uploading.

Selected photos are uploaded to private storage before they enter your project; face detection and editing run in your browser, while clean exports are rendered on the server. The local project expires 24 hours after your last actual edit and is cleared at the next check, so viewing or refreshing does not extend it. Private sources and masks renew to 48 hours after a server-confirmed edit; exports have their own creation lease, and no file’s retention extends beyond 30 days after upload. Expired files are scheduled for cleanup, failed deletions are retried, and local recovery depends on browser storage availability.

Review Detection Tuning and the face-grouping repair guide before exporting. Manual recovery must find usable face landmarks before a replacement can be blended. If no compatible source expression exists, keep the original face or use another photo.

Yes. BestGroupShot offers a browser-based expression-selection workflow: upload 2–10 compatible photos of the same group, choose a base photo and select each person’s real expression. Convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPEG, PNG or WebP first. No dedicated app or signup is needed to edit; a standard original-size export without a watermark requires a registered account and 10 credits.

Google currently lists Best Take for Pixel 8 and later, rather than iPhone or every Android phone. Auto Best Take is a separate feature requiring Pixel 10 or later, Google Photos and Top Shot enabled in the camera. If your device does not meet those requirements, BestGroupShot offers a similar manual expression-selection workflow in a browser. It is an independent web tool, not a Google product, plugin or native app, and does not claim all of the native feature’s capabilities.

If you want to choose real expressions from existing photos on a non-Pixel Android phone, BestGroupShot is one option. Upload 2–10 compatible photos of the same group, choose each person’s expression and inspect the alignment and blending. Photos from different cameras can be used when the people, angles and lighting are suitable. It does not automatically decide the best expression or generate one missing from your photos.
