How do I remove a water reflection from a photo?
Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove the reflection on the [lake/pool/ocean/pond] water surface and show clean natural water.' The AI clears sky, scenery, and object reflections in 20-30 seconds. The phrase 'with realistic ripples' is critical - without it, water can look like flat painted blue.
Will it work on real estate pool listing photos?
Yes - this is one of the most common use cases. Use 'remove the sky and tree reflections on the pool water surface and show clean blue pool water with realistic ripples.' Bright reflections often hide pool color and depth in listings, hurting curb appeal. Always check MLS rules before submitting heavily edited listing photos.
Is there a free water reflection remover that doesn't need signup?
Yes. EditThisPic gives you one free Fast water reflection removal per week with no account, no email, and no watermark. For batch real estate or landscape photography, the Lite plan is $4.99 per month for 15 credits, or you can grab a 3-edit pack for $1.99 with no subscription.
Can it show what's underwater through a reflective surface?
Yes. Use 'remove the reflection on the water and show the [fish/rocks/pool floor] visible through the surface naturally.' For aquariums, fountains, and clear pools, the AI generates plausible underwater detail. For deep lakes and oceans, the result is a clean water surface, not actual underwater detail.
Will the cleaned water look fake or painted?
Not if you include 'realistic ripples' or 'natural water color.' Without that phrase, the AI may produce flat painted-looking water. Always specify the water condition: 'calm,' 'choppy,' 'rippled,' or 'glassy' for the most realistic result.
Does it work on ocean and beach photos?
Yes. Use 'remove the bright reflections on the ocean water and show natural ocean color with realistic wave patterns.' Ocean photos often have both sun glare and reflections - this prompt handles both. The AI keeps wave detail visible.
Can it remove building reflections from fountain photos?
Yes. Type 'remove the building reflection on the fountain water surface and show natural water flow with realistic detail.' Architectural photographers often want clean fountain shots without nearby building reflections distracting from the main subject.
Does it work on wet pavement reflections in city photos?
Yes. Use 'remove the reflection on the wet pavement showing buildings and lights and show clean dark wet street.' Wet city streets create chaotic bright reflections - the AI cleans them for a moodier, more atmospheric look.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic runs in any modern mobile browser - Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, and tablets. You can edit pool listings or lake landscapes right from the location. A native iOS app is also available on the App Store.
What photo formats does the water reflection remover support?
EditThisPic accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files up to 7 MB. iPhones in HEIC mode upload directly without conversion, and the cleaned photo is returned in the same format you uploaded.
