How it works

Upload Your Photo

Drag and drop or click to browse. Works with all common formats: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP. Your photo processes instantly and stays private.

Expect: Upload completes in 2-5 seconds.
Mark What to Remove

Tap or brush over unwanted objects, people, or distractions. You can mark multiple things at once. The AI will remove everything you've marked in one go.

Tip: For best results, mark slightly inside the edges of objects. AI extends cleanup beyond your marks to ensure smooth removal.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted unwanted objects and distractions from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

Client portrait sessions where the unwanted objects and distractions appeared unexpectedly in frame
Stock photography that needs the unwanted objects and distractions removed for broader commercial appeal
Product photography with distracting unwanted objects and distractions in the background

Best Practices

Zoom in and place a marker directly on the unwanted objects and distractions for the most accurate removal
Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
Describe the desired background fill — e.g., 'replace the unwanted objects and distractions with clean wall' for predictable results

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing unwanted objects and distractions that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

Listing photos where the unwanted objects and distractions clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
Exterior shots with unwanted objects and distractions that hurt curb appeal
Open house photos that need the unwanted objects and distractions removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the unwanted objects and distractions, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

AI left smudges or blur where objects were removed

Why: The background pattern was complex or the removed object was very large.

Try: Mark a smaller area at a time. For large objects, remove in sections by running cleanup multiple times.

Try This →

Tip: Smaller cleanup areas give AI more context to fill naturally. Break big removals into 2-3 smaller passes.

Cleanup removed part of something I wanted to keep

Why: Your marker overlapped with areas you wanted preserved.

Try: Mark more precisely inside the object to remove. Avoid brushing near edges of things you want to keep.

Try This →

Tip: Use zoom and careful marking. AI extends cleanup beyond marks, so err on the side of marking smaller.

Background fill doesn't match the surroundings

Why: AI couldn't determine the correct background pattern from available context.

Try:

Try removing the object in multiple smaller sections, or use the prompt editor to describe what the background should look like.

Try This →

Tip: For complex backgrounds, describing the desired fill ('grass', 'blue sky', 'brick wall') helps AI choose the right pattern.

Some parts of the object are still visible

Why: Your marking didn't cover the entire object, especially edges or shadows.

Try: Expand your marking to cover the full object including shadows and reflections. Then regenerate.

Try This →

Tip: Objects cast shadows and reflections - mark those too for complete removal.

Cleanup looks artificial or has repeated patterns

Why: AI fell back on pattern repetition when it couldn't infer natural background.

Try: Use prompt mode and describe the background: 'fill with sky' or 'continue the grass pattern' to guide AI.

Try This →

Tip: When cleanup alone isn't enough, combining with prompt descriptions produces more natural results.

Quick answers

Do I need to outline objects precisely?

No! Just scribble or tap roughly over what you want removed. The AI automatically detects object boundaries and extends cleanup beyond your marks to ensure complete removal. Rough marking works fine.

How is this different from Apple Intelligence Clean Up?

It's the same technology, but EditThisPic works on any device with a browser - no iPhone 15 Pro required. It's also completely free with no signup, while Apple's feature only works in their Photos app on newest devices.

Can I remove multiple objects at once?

Yes! Mark all the objects you want removed before generating. AI will remove everything marked in one pass. This is faster than removing objects one at a time.

Will cleanup work on complex backgrounds?

Usually yes, but results vary. Simple backgrounds (sky, grass, walls) cleanup perfectly. Complex patterns (crowds, intricate architecture) may need multiple passes or prompt descriptions to look natural.

Can I undo if I don't like the result?

Yes, your original photo is never modified. You can always re-upload and try different marking, or download the original. Each cleanup attempt is independent.

Are there limits on how much I can clean up?

No hard limits, but removing more than 30-40% of a photo may look artificial. Best results come from removing smaller distractions rather than trying to delete half the image.

Is EditThisPic's AI unwanted objects and distractions remover really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I remove unwanted objects and distractions on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.
