AI Object Remover

Remove unwanted objects, people and text from any photo. Brush over what you don't want, press Remove, and AI fills the space so it looks like it was never there.

Before and after: objects removed with AI

Red shows what was brushed. Everything else in the photo stays as it was.

Remove a person from a photo

A stranger walked into your shot. Brush over them — cap, backpack, legs and the shadow at their feet — and press Remove.

The AI rebuilds what was behind them from the rest of the picture: the paving stones, the shop fronts, the trees. You stay exactly as you were.

Clean up a product photo

A coffee cup, a price tag, a cable — the one thing that makes a product photo look like a snapshot. Brush over it and it's gone.

The marble, the vase and the light behind it carry on as if it was never there, so the bag is the only thing you look at.

Big objects work too. Here a vase and its branches are removed from the front of the picture.

The sofa, the cushion and the reflection on the table are drawn back in behind it — handy for interior shots, rental listings and moodboards.

How to remove an object from a photo

Three steps, and you can see the result before you download it.

1

Upload a photo

A JPG, PNG or WebP. Big photos are kept at up to 3,072 pixels on the long side.

2

Brush over what to remove

Paint over the person, object or text, a little past its edges. Brushed too much? Switch to Erase and take it back off.

3

Press Remove

AI removes it and fills the space from what's around it. Drag the slider to compare before and after, then download.

What can you remove from a photo?

Almost anything you can brush over. The AI looks at everything around it — the sky, the water, the wall, the pattern on the floor — and continues it into the space.

Remove people from the background

Travel photos are the classic case: a landmark, your best smile, and a stranger walking through the frame. Brush over them and their shadow, and they're gone.

Several people? Remove one or two at a time. Smaller areas give the AI more of the real scene to work from.

Remove unwanted objects from product photos

Shop and marketplace photos sell better when the product is the only thing in them. Take out cups, cables, tags and dust without reshooting.

Want a plain background instead? Use the background remover, then the image upscaler for a sharper, larger file.

How do you get a clean result?

Most traces left behind come down to one of these.

  1. 1Brush a little past the edges.A thin outline of the object left behind is the most common reason for a trace. Go a few pixels wider than you think.
  2. 2Include the shadow and reflection.A person's shadow on the ground or a vase's reflection on a glossy table belongs to the object. Brush it too, or it stays behind.
  3. 3Remove big things in two passes.For a large object, remove most of it first, then press “Brush & remove more” and clean up what's left. Each pass works on the last result.
  4. 4Use a big brush for big areas.Turn the Brush Size up for a person or a car, and down for a wire or a few letters of text.
  5. 5Start from the full-size photo.The result keeps the size you upload (up to 3,072 pixels), so a screenshot or a compressed copy gives you less to work with.

What can't it do?

The AI fills the space with what is most likely behind the object, not what was really there. If something important was hidden — a face behind a person, words on a sign behind a pole — it can't bring that back.

Very large areas, like most of the photo, give it little to work from and can look painted. Busy patterns such as crowds, text or fine fences sometimes need a second pass.

How much does it cost?

Each removal uses 2 credits. Brushing, undoing and comparing cost nothing, and a removal that fails isn't charged. Credits come with a monthly plan or a one-time pack; pack credits never expire. The result has no watermark and is saved in My Creations.

Questions people ask

How do I remove an object from a photo?

Upload the photo, brush over the object and press Remove. AI takes it out and fills the space from the picture around it. Drag the slider to compare before and after, then download the result.

How do I remove a person from a photo?

Brush over the whole person, including their shadow, and press Remove. The AI rebuilds the scene behind them. It works best when what's behind them is fairly simple — a street, grass, sand, sky, a wall. If another person is directly behind them, expect to need a second pass.

How much does it cost?

Each removal uses 2 credits. Brushing, undoing and comparing are free; only pressing Remove uses credits, and a removal that fails costs nothing. Credits come with a monthly plan or a one-time pack, and pack credits never expire.

Does it lower the quality of my photo?

No. The result comes back at the size you uploaded (up to 3,072 pixels on the long side), and only the area you brushed is changed. There's no watermark.

I brushed over too much. How do I fix it?

Switch to Erase and brush over the part you want to keep: it takes the brush off. Undo steps back one stroke, and Clear starts again.

Part of the object is still there. What now?

Press “Brush & remove more”, brush over what's left and remove it again. Each pass works on the last result, and Undo goes back a step.

Can it remove text, dates or a watermark?

It removes text, dates and logos you brush over. For watermarks on photos you own, the free watermark remover works in your browser without credits.

Is this the same as a magic eraser?

It does the same job: you mark something and it disappears. Here the fill is made by an AI image model that looks at the whole photo, which helps with bigger objects and busy backgrounds.

Is my photo private?

Your photo is sent to our AI partner to make the edit and saved to your account so you can find it in My Creations. It isn't used to train AI models and isn't sold. See our privacy policy for details.

Do I need an account?

Yes, because removals use credits. Sign in with Google or email; your photo waits for you while you do.
