Scenario	Prompt	Time
Bottom-right timestamp	`Remove the timestamp in the bottom right corner and restore the background underneath`	15s
Dashcam info bar	`Remove the entire bottom timestamp bar and fill with road`	20s
Top-left clock overlay	`Remove the clock overlay in the top left corner and reconstruct the wall behind it`	15s
Multiple timestamps	`Remove every timestamp visible in this photo and fill each area with the surrounding scene`	25s

How it works

Upload the photo with the timestamp

Drop in any JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC file up to 7MB. Most timestamps live in the bottom-right or top-right corner of the frame, but the AI can find them anywhere.

Expect: The full-resolution image loads instantly into the editor with the timestamp clearly visible.
Describe the timestamp to remove

Type a short prompt like 'remove the white timestamp in the bottom right corner.' If there are multiple time/date elements, describe each one or tap a marker on the exact spot.

Copy one of these to get started:

Bottom-right timestamp Remove the timestamp in the bottom right corner and restore the background underneath
Try This →

White text on dark background Remove the white timestamp characters and rebuild the dark sky behind them
Try This →

Dashcam timestamp bar Remove the entire bottom timestamp bar including the location and speed text and fill with road
Try This →

Top-left clock overlay Remove the clock overlay in the top left corner and reconstruct the wall behind it

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Dashcam & Security Footage

Remove the time/date strip baked into dashcam stills and home security screenshots before sharing them as evidence or social posts.

Common Scenarios

Sharing a dashcam frame as evidence without exposing your exact route, speed, or driving date
Posting a funny security cam clip without the always-on clock cluttering the frame
Sending a parking incident screenshot to insurance that needs to look clean and uncropped

Best Practices

Describe the entire bottom info bar in one prompt — the AI handles the strip as a single element
If GPS coordinates are part of the burn-in, mention them explicitly so they get removed too
Pro mode produces cleaner road and asphalt textures than Fast mode for these shots

📷

Scanned & Vintage Photos

Erase burned-in timestamps from scanned family albums and old digital camera shots so they look modern and frame-ready.

Common Scenarios

Cleaning up scanned 90s vacation photos before printing them as a gift
Removing timestamps from disposable camera scans so the original moment isn't dated visually
Preparing old photos for a memorial slideshow without the distracting clock in the corner

Best Practices

Old timestamps are often orange or yellow with hard edges — say so in the prompt for a more accurate match
If the timestamp covers part of someone's face or hair, run a second pass to clean up the edges
Save the original scan untouched and edit a copy

📷

Screenshots & Screen Captures

Remove timestamps and clocks burned into screen recordings, baby monitor stills, and game captures.

Common Scenarios

Sharing a baby monitor moment without exposing the time of night
Posting a game screenshot without the system clock visible in the corner
Cleaning a phone screenshot before adding it to a presentation

Best Practices

Tap a marker directly on the clock if the screenshot has lots of similar text nearby
If multiple clocks exist (status bar + game UI), describe each one separately
Check the result at full size — small clocks are easy for the AI to leave behind ghosts

If something looks off

Timestamp characters partially remain

Why: The brush stroke or prompt area didn't cover every digit and colon.

Try: Run a second pass: 'remove any remaining timestamp characters and blend with the surrounding background.'

Try This →

Tip: Include the AM/PM letters and any spaces between digits — even narrow gaps can leave ghosts.

The patch looks blurry

Why: The timestamp covered a complex texture that the AI struggled to fully reconstruct.

Try: Try 'reconstruct the area with sharp natural detail matching the surrounding scene' for a second pass.

Try This →

Tip: Pro mode (2 credits) consistently produces sharper rebuilds on detailed backgrounds.

AI removed nearby content too

Why: Without a marker, the AI guessed where the timestamp ends and overshot.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the timestamp and prompt 'remove ONLY the timestamp at this marker.'

Try This →

Tip: Markers are the strongest hint you can give. Use them when the timestamp sits near important content.

Background color doesn't quite match

Why: The AI sampled a slightly different region for the fill.

Try: Specify the color: 'fill with the same warm gray as the rest of the wall.'

Try This →

Tip: Naming the color in plain English usually beats letting the AI guess.

Quick answers

How do I remove a timestamp from a photo?

Upload the photo to EditThisPic, type a short prompt like 'remove the timestamp in the bottom right corner,' and click Generate. The AI erases the digits and rebuilds whatever was behind them in 15-30 seconds. No selection tools, no clone stamping, no signup.

Does it work on dashcam timestamps with extra info like GPS and speed?

Yes. Dashcams burn an entire info strip into each frame — date, time, latitude/longitude, speed — and EditThisPic treats the whole strip as one element to remove. Just describe it as 'the bottom info bar' or 'the dashcam overlay,' and the AI will erase everything in that band and fill it back in with the road or scene.

Can it remove timestamps from old digital camera photos?

Yes. Cameras from the late 1990s and early 2000s baked the date and time directly into the JPEG with characteristic orange or yellow LED-style digits. Mark the burned-in characters and the AI removes them just like a modern overlay, restoring the texture beneath.

Will it remove a timestamp from a screenshot?

Yes. Screen recordings, security monitor feeds, baby monitor stills, and game captures all sometimes burn a clock or timestamp into the image. EditThisPic handles all of these the same way — describe the clock and the AI removes it.

Is this AI timestamp remover really free?

Yes — every visitor gets one free edit per week with no account needed, so you can erase a timestamp from a 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 a timestamp from a photo 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 from your camera roll, type your prompt, and the cleaned photo downloads straight back to your phone.

What photo formats does the AI timestamp remover support?

EditThisPic accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files up to 7MB. HEIC matters for iPhone users since that's the default capture format. The result comes back in the same format you uploaded — HEIC in, HEIC out — with no quality loss in transit.

How long does it take to remove a timestamp?

Most edits finish in 15-30 seconds. Upload, describe what you want, and the AI generates the result while you watch. Pro mode (2 credits, sharper results) can take up to a minute. If it ever takes longer, the credit refunds automatically.

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 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
