How it works

Upload your celebration photo

Choose the photo you want to edit—family gatherings, milestone achievements, holiday celebrations, or special occasions. Both professional event photos and casual phone shots work great.

Expect: Simple edits like removing one person or brightening: 3-5 seconds. Complex changes like multiple removals and lighting fixes: 10-15 seconds and may need refinement.
Describe what you want edited

THIS IS THE KEY STEP. Simply type what needs changing: 'remove the strangers in the background and brighten our faces' or 'fix the dim restaurant lighting and enhance the cake decorations.' Be specific about what bothers you—the AI understands conversational requests.

Tip: Celebration photos often have multiple issues. Combine fixes: 'Remove background people, fix the dark lighting, enhance the decorations, and clean up the messy table.'

Copy one of these to get started:

Remove photobombers and strangers Remove the people in the background who aren't part of our celebration

Fix dim indoor lighting Brighten the overall photo and add warm lighting to our faces

Review the edited result

Check that removed elements blend naturally, lighting looks warm and inviting, decorations stand out, and the focus stays on your celebration. Zoom in on faces and key details to ensure everything looks perfect.
Refine with markers if needed

OPTIONAL. If the AI removed the wrong person or you want to target a specific background element, tap a marker on that exact spot. This is rarely needed but helpful in crowded party photos with many people.

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specific person' when description alone could be ambiguous in group celebrations.

"Removed three strangers from our family celebration photo and fixed the terrible restaurant lighting. Finally looks worth framing!" @JoyfulMoments

Restaurant celebration with strangers removed

Perfect family celebration moment, but random diners and waitstaff cluttered the background. Removed all strangers while keeping the intimate feeling.

Prompt: Remove all the people in the background who aren't part of our family

Celebration photo with messy cluttered background — Before

Same photo with clean, organized background — After

Messy party cleanup

Great celebration moment, but the background showed dirty dishes, scattered wrapping paper, and general party chaos. Cleaned it all up while keeping the joyful mood.

Prompt: Remove all the clutter, dirty dishes, and wrapping paper mess in the background

If something looks off

The AI removed the wrong person from the celebration

Why: In crowded celebration photos, description alone may not clearly identify who should stay versus go.

Try: Tap markers on each person you want to KEEP, then describe: 'Remove everyone except the people I marked'

Try This →

Tip: For complex group photos, it's often easier to mark who to keep rather than listing who to remove.

Brightening made the photo look washed out or overexposed

Why: Generic 'brighten' instructions without moderation can over-brighten and lose natural tones.

Try: Use 'gently brighten faces while keeping natural shadows and depth' or 'add warm balanced lighting'

Try This →

Tip: Words like 'gently,' 'balanced,' or 'natural' prevent over-processing while still improving dim photos.

Enhanced decorations look oversaturated or fake

Why: Without limits, 'enhance colors' can push saturation too far into artificial-looking territory.

Try: Try 'naturally boost decoration colors' or 'subtly enhance balloons and cake without oversaturation'

Try This →

Tip: Celebrations should look vibrant but authentic. Use 'natural' or 'subtle' to avoid the over-processed look.

Removing clutter left strange empty spaces or artifacts

Why: Complex cluttered backgrounds can be challenging to reconstruct naturally.

Try: Add 'fill removed areas with matching background' or 'blend seamlessly with natural fill'

Try This →

Tip: If artifacts remain, try regenerating or be more specific about what to remove versus what to keep.

Fixed lighting changed the celebration mood or atmosphere

Why: Different celebrations have different natural atmospheres—candlelit birthdays feel different than bright parties.

Try:

Specify the mood: 'brighten faces while keeping the warm candlelight atmosphere' or 'add light but maintain the intimate evening feel'

Try This →

Tip: Mention the desired atmosphere to guide the AI: 'warm,' 'festive,' 'intimate,' 'bright and cheerful.'

The AI changed facial expressions or closed eyes incorrectly

Why: Expression changes are complex and can look unnatural if the AI doesn't have enough context.

Try:

Be specific: 'open the eyes naturally' rather than 'fix the face.' If it looks off, try describing the desired expression: 'make them look naturally happy and awake'

Try This →

Tip: Expression edits work best when you describe the goal simply: 'natural smile,' 'eyes open,' 'relaxed expression.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark people or areas before describing what I want?

No! Just describe what you want edited. Only use markers when the AI needs help identifying which specific people or elements you mean in crowded celebration photos.

Can I remove multiple strangers from the background?

Yes! Just describe who to remove: 'remove all the people in the background who aren't part of our celebration' or list them: 'remove the waiter and the couple at the table behind us.'

Will this work on dark indoor party photos?

Absolutely. Dim indoor lighting is one of the most common celebration photo problems. Instructions like 'brighten overall and add warm lighting to faces' work great.

Yes! Describe what to enhance: 'make the birthday cake colors more vibrant' or 'enhance the balloons and banners to look more festive.' The AI understands celebration elements.
