How it works

  1. Upload your scratched photo

    Upload a sharp photo of the vehicle from a clear angle. Natural daylight and minimal reflections help the AI handle photo scratches accurately. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Light scratches: 20-30 seconds. Heavy damage across entire photo: may need 2-3 passes focusing on different areas.
  2. Describe the scratch damage

    Type your instruction: 'remove all scratches from the photo' or 'fix the white scratch lines across the face.' Be specific about what type of damage—fine hairline scratches, deep gouges, or scan lines. No marking needed—the AI detects scratches automatically and fills them with matching texture from surrounding areas.

    Tip: Include location details like 'scratches on the face' or 'vertical scratches on the left side' if damage is concentrated in one area for better targeting.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Remove all scratches remove all scratches and scratch marks from the entire photo completely
    Fix white scratch lines remove the white scratch lines running across the photo and fill cleanly
    Hairline scratches fix all fine hairline scratches throughout the photo while preserving original texture
    Vertical scan lines remove vertical scratch lines and scan artifacts from the scanned photo
    3 more prompts
    Face scratches remove scratches from faces and skin areas, blend naturally with surrounding texture
    Deep gouges fix deep scratch gouges by filling with matching color and texture from nearby areas
    Corner damage remove scratches and damage concentrated in the corners and edges of the photo
  3. Generate and review

    Click Generate and watch the AI analyze the damage. It identifies scratch patterns, fills each scratch with texture matching surrounding areas, blends edges cleanly, and preserves original photo detail. Zoom in to verify scratches are completely gone and fills look natural.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark scratches before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove all scratches from the photo' or 'fix the white scratch lines.' The AI detects scratches automatically.

How do I remove scratches from old photos for free?

Upload your scratched photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove all scratches and scratch marks from the entire photo completely.' The AI finds all scratches, fills them with matching texture and color in 20-30 seconds. Free to try with no signup, no watermark, and no credit card required.

Is there a free scratch remover that doesn't require login?

Yes. EditThisPic removes scratches without requiring an account. Just upload your damaged photo, describe the scratch removal you need, and download the restored result. No email, no signup, completely free for your first edit.

Can this fix severely scratched photos?

Yes, but heavily damaged photos may need 2-3 editing passes. First pass: 'remove all major scratches.' Review the result. Second pass: mark remaining damage and regenerate. The AI can fix even severe damage, but working in stages produces better results than trying to fix everything at once.

Does this work on color photos and black-and-white photos?

Yes. The AI handles both color and black-and-white photographs. It matches the texture and tone of surrounding areas whether that's color or grayscale. Scratch removal works the same way regardless of photo type.

Is EditThisPic's AI photo scratches remover really free?

Yes — every visitor gets one free edit per week with no account needed, so you can remove scratches from a damaged photo at no cost the first time. If you need more, the Lite plan is $4.99/month for 15 credits, Standard is $12.99/month for 50, and Pro is $29.99/month for 150. There are also one-time credit packs from $1.99.

Can I remove photo scratches on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic runs entirely in your mobile browser — iPhone Safari, Android Chrome, and tablets all work. There's nothing to install. Just open editthispic.com, tap to upload a photo from your camera roll, type your prompt, and remove scratches from a damaged photo. The result downloads straight back to your photos. There's also an iOS app on the App Store.

What photo formats does the AI photo scratches remover support?

EditThisPic accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files up to 7MB. HEIC support matters for iPhone users since that's the default capture format. The AI photo scratch remover returns the result in the same format you uploaded, so an HEIC in stays an HEIC out — no conversion step or quality loss in transit.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 20 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
