Remove People from Multiple Photos at Once

Last updated

Upload your whole trip's photos and type one instruction — 'remove the strangers in the background' — and EditThisPic applies it across all of them. Works for vacation albums, event photos, and property shots where bystanders appear in every frame. Up to 25 photos per batch, 1 credit per photo. Photos where a stranger overlaps your subject may need an individual pass.

How it works

  1. Upload 3 or more photos

    Drop your vacation album, event photos, or property shots into the editor. The file picker is multi-select — choose 3 to 25 photos at once. JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC are all supported (HEIC converts automatically).

    Expect: Each photo takes about 30 seconds to process. Two photos run at the same time on desktop, so a 10-photo batch takes roughly 5 minutes end to end.
  2. Type one instruction for the whole set

    Write a single prompt that describes who to remove by their role in the scene, not their position. That role description is what makes one instruction work across photos taken at different locations and angles.

    Tip: Describe people by their role — 'the strangers in the background', 'everyone except the couple', 'the tourists around the monument' — rather than by position like 'the person on the left'. Role descriptions generalize across different photos; position references don't.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Vacation photos with tourists in the background Remove the strangers in the background and fill the area naturally
    Photos of a couple with crowds around them Remove everyone except the couple in the center and restore the background
    Landmark photos with photobombers Remove the photobomber and fill the background naturally so it matches the surroundings
    Event or venue photos with bystanders Remove the bystanders in the background and keep only the main subjects in the foreground
    2 more prompts
    Property or real estate photos with people visible Remove all people from the scene and restore the background to an empty, clean state
    Street or city shots with passersby Remove the pedestrians and passersby in the background, leave the architecture and environment intact
  3. Review the results grid and save all

    Results land in a grid as each photo completes. Zoom in where the people were removed and check the fill quality — backgrounds should look natural, not smeared. Hit 'Save all' to put the cleaned photos into your account library.

  4. Refine any stubborn photos individually

    If one photo needs extra attention — a stranger who was partially overlapping your subject, or an unusually complex scene — open it for a solo pass. You can use the marker tool to point directly at the remaining person.

Couple at landmark — tourists removed across the whole album

A full vacation album where every photo had different tourists in bright clothing standing near a landmark. One prompt removed the strangers from all frames while the couple and monument stayed sharp.

Quick answers

How does one prompt know who to remove in different photos?

The key is describing people by their role in the scene rather than their position. A role like 'strangers in the background' or 'tourists near the monument' describes a relationship to your subject — someone who doesn't belong in your shot. That relationship exists in every photo from your album even though the strangers are in different spots, wearing different clothes, and photographed at different locations. The AI reads the scene in each photo and identifies who fits that role. This is what makes batch removal possible: you're not pointing at a specific person, you're naming a category that the AI can find independently in each frame.

What if a stranger is partly behind my subject?

When a stranger is partially overlapping your subject — peeking out from behind a shoulder, or standing so close they share an edge — the AI has to infer what's behind the stranger and reconstruct it without disturbing your subject. It often works, but it's the scenario most likely to need a solo pass. Open that specific photo, use the marker tool to circle the stranger, and run it individually. You'll also want to zoom in on the fill quality where they were standing.

How many photos can I remove people from at once?

Up to 25 photos per batch. If your album is larger, run it in two batches. Each batch uses the same prompt, so the second run is just another drop-and-go.

Does one prompt really edit every photo in the batch?

Yes — you type one instruction and it applies to all photos in the drop. If different photos need genuinely different instructions (removing a person versus fixing something else), run them as separate batches.

What does it cost to remove people from multiple photos?

1 credit per photo. Packs: 10 photos for $4.99, 25 photos for $9.99 (40¢ per photo), 50 for $17.99, 100 for $29.99. When you drop your photos and hit run, the checkout preselects the smallest pack that covers your batch — so a 12-photo batch opens with the 25-pack preselected.

Is there a free option?

Your first single-photo edit each week is free — try it on one photo before running the album. Batch runs use credits (1 per photo).

How long does a batch take?

About 30 seconds per photo, with two photos processing at the same time on desktop. A 10-photo batch takes roughly 5 minutes. Results appear in the grid as each photo completes — you don't wait for all of them before seeing the first ones.

Do I need an account to run a batch?

Yes — credits attach to your account, and results save to your library. You'll sign in with a magic link (no password) when you check out. The account is created automatically if you don't have one.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. HEIC files from iPhone cameras are converted automatically before processing — you don't need to convert them manually.

What happens if one photo fails?

Failed photos are refunded automatically. The rest of your batch completes normally. You can then run the failed photo separately with more specific instructions or the marker tool.
