Remove people from photos without Photoshop
Erasing someone from a picture used to mean careful cloning and patching in desktop software. This tool does the hard part for you: an AI inpainting model studies the surrounding pixels and generates a background that continues the sand, street, wall or sky naturally.
Great for
- Removing tourists and strangers from vacation photos
- Taking photobombers out of selfies and group shots
- Cleaning up event and wedding photos
- Making a clean background for profile pictures
Tips for a natural-looking result
- Include the shadow. A floating shadow is the most common giveaway.
- Go a bit wider than the outline. Leftover edges confuse the AI.
- Work in passes. For a person standing in front of a busy background, remove the top half, then the bottom half.
- Touch up. If a small mark remains, paint just that spot and remove again.
