AI Photo Editor for Car Listing Photos
Professional car photos without a professional setup.
"Used to spend an hour per car in Photoshop. Now I describe what I need and the AI does it in seconds. My Facebook Marketplace listings look like Carvana photos." @UsedCarDealerDave
Built for Car Sellers
Good photos sell cars faster at better prices. But professional automotive photography and editing is expensive. EditThisPic lets you take photos with your phone in your garage or lot, then polish them to look professional. Blur plates for privacy, clean up backgrounds, remove reflections - all by describing what you need.

Step-by-Step Guide
Upload your car photo
Drop your vehicle photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with phone photos from any angle - exterior shots, interior details, engine bay, or showroom views.
Describe your edit
Type what you need: 'blur the license plate completely' or 'replace the garage background with clean concrete' or 'remove my reflection from the hood.' The AI understands car photography terminology.
Review and verify
For license plates, zoom in and verify no characters are readable. For backgrounds, check edges around the car look natural. For reflections, confirm paint still looks glossy.
Refine specific areas if needed
If something isn't right, tap a marker on that area and regenerate. Most car listing edits work on the first try since elements like plates and backgrounds are visually distinct.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Car Listings
blur the license plate completely so no characters are readable, heavy pixelation for privacy
The AI finds license plates automatically - no need to mark them

'Keep the car exactly as is' prevents unwanted changes to the vehicle itself
remove my reflection from the car's paint and make the surface look clean and glossy

Results depend on how much interior is visible through the glare

When Things Go Wrong
License plate characters still partially readable
Why: The blur wasn't strong enough for privacy requirements.
blur the license plate with heavy pixelation, make all characters completely unreadable
Zoom to 200% and verify no characters can be guessed. For marketplace compliance, complete unreadability is key.
Car edges look unnatural after background replacement
Why: The AI had difficulty separating car from original background, especially around wheels, mirrors, or antennas.
Tap markers on problem edges and regenerate with 'fix edges around car, make natural'
Wheel wells and side mirrors are trickiest. May need 2-3 refinements for complex backgrounds.
Reflection removal made paint look flat
Why: The AI removed too much shine along with the unwanted reflection.
remove my reflection but keep the natural glossy shine and subtle environmental reflections
'Keep glossy finish' prevents over-correction that makes paint look matte.
New background lighting doesn't match car
Why: The replacement background has different lighting than your original photo.
replace background with [your choice] with lighting that matches the car, shadows same direction
Look at which side of car is brighter and describe that light direction in your prompt.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark the license plate before blurring?
No - just type 'blur the license plate' and the AI finds it automatically. License plates have a distinctive shape and position the AI recognizes. Only use markers if your photo has multiple plates or unusual positioning.
Is the blur strong enough for Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist?
Yes, when you specify 'completely unreadable' or 'heavy pixelation.' Always zoom to 100% to verify. Major marketplaces don't have specific blur requirements, but complete unreadability protects your privacy.
Can I do multiple edits to the same photo?
Yes, two ways. Either combine requests in one prompt ('blur plate and remove trash cans') or edit in passes - blur the plate, download, upload again, fix the background. Multi-pass gives more control.
Will this work for motorcycles and trucks?
Yes. The AI handles all vehicle types - motorcycles, trucks, RVs, boats. License plates on motorcycles (typically rear-mounted) work the same way. Just describe what you see.
How do I get a professional showroom look?
Replace the background: 'replace background with car dealership showroom floor, bright even lighting.' For best results, photograph your car with consistent lighting and relatively simple original background.
Can I remove dealer plates or temp tags?
Yes. The AI recognizes dealer plates, paper temp tags, and standard plates. Describe what you see: 'blur the dealer plate' or 'blur the temp tag in window.'
