How to remove a person from a photo
- Drop your photo in. Or paste it from the clipboard. It opens in the editor.
- Mark the person. Click them to pick them out in one go, or paint over them with the brush. Cover their shadow and anything they are holding, so nothing is left to copy from.
- Press Erase, then download. The scene fills in where they stood. If a sleeve or a foot is still showing, mark it and erase again, then download at full size.
Questions people ask
Can it remove several people at once?
Yes. Mark each of them, then press Erase once. Or take them one at a time and check each result.
What if the person is in front of something detailed?
The fill matches the surroundings, so a wall, a lawn or a sea comes back cleanly. A very detailed background, like a crowd or a shop window, is harder; erase in smaller parts and undo anything you do not like.
Does the person's shadow go too?
Only if you mark it. Paint over the shadow along with the person and it fills in with them.
Is it free, with no watermark?
Yes. The full-size photo is the free result, with no watermark and no limit on the number of photos.
