Frequently Asked Questions
Can AI really remove someone from a photo naturally?
Yes. EditThisPic's AI removes the person and reconstructs the background behind them. Simple backgrounds like beaches and parks look seamless. Complex indoor scenes may need a second pass on specific areas.
How do I remove my ex from family photos with kids?
Upload the photo, then type 'remove the adult on the left, keep all children.' Be specific about who to remove by describing their position or clothing.
What if my ex has their arm around me in the photo?
Remove the person first, then do a second edit targeting the remaining arm. Type 'remove the arm on my shoulder and make my shoulder look natural.' It may take 2 passes for contact points.
Can I remove my ex from wedding photos?
You can remove people from wedding photos, though results depend on how closely intertwined you are in the shot. Ceremony photos where you're standing apart work best. Tightly posed couple shots are hardest.
