How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Drop your photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB work best. Any photo where your ex is visible will work—vacation photos, event shots, couple photos, group pictures, selfies.

    Expect: Simple photos (ex clearly visible): 20-30 seconds. Complex photos (crowded backgrounds, ex partially hidden): 40-60 seconds.
  2. Describe who to remove

    Type 'remove my ex from this photo' or 'remove the person on the left.' That's it. The AI identifies the person, erases them completely, and fills in the background naturally. You can also say 'remove the guy' or 'remove the woman in the red jacket' to be specific.

    Tip: Be specific if there are multiple people. 'Remove the man on the right' works better than just 'remove my ex' in group photos.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    My ex is in all my vacation photos remove my ex from this photo and fill in the background naturally
    I want to remove the person next to me remove the person on the left/right and blend the background
    Ex is in a group photo at an event remove the man/woman in the [red shirt/black jacket] from this group photo
    Ex is in the background of my photo remove the person in the background and fill naturally

    Couple photo I want to keep just my part remove my ex and extend the scenery where they were standing
    Multiple photos from same trip remove the person next to me, keep everything else the same
    Ex's arm or hand still visible around me remove the person and any visible arms or hands from around me
  3. Review the result

    Check that your ex is completely gone and the background looks natural. Zoom in to verify there are no traces left, no weird artifacts, and the scenery fills in smoothly. The goal is a photo that looks like they were never there.

Quick answers

Can I really remove my ex from photos completely?

Yes. The AI erases the person and fills in the background naturally using surrounding context. It reconstructs scenery, patterns, and textures where they were standing. The result looks like they were never in the photo. Works best when your ex is clearly visible and the background isn't extremely complex.

Do I need to mark my ex before removing them?

Usually no. Just type 'remove my ex' or 'remove the person on the left' and the AI identifies and removes them automatically.

What if my ex is in multiple photos from the same trip?

You'll need to edit each photo separately. Upload one photo at a time and use 'remove the person next to me' for consistency. The process takes 20-30 seconds per photo, so you can work through a batch fairly quickly.

Will this work if my ex is touching me or we're close together?

Yes, but it's more challenging. The AI can separate you from your ex even in close couple poses. You may need to be specific: 'remove the person on my right and their arm around me.' For very intimate poses, you might need to refine the result or use Pro mode for better separation.

What if I want to keep the photo but crop my ex out instead?

That's a valid alternative for some photos. Try 'crop this photo to remove the person on the left' or 'reframe this to focus on me and remove the other person.' However, AI removal often works better because it preserves the full scene and composition.

Can I remove my ex from group photos without affecting others?

Yes. Be specific about which person to remove: 'remove the man in the blue shirt' or 'remove the woman on the far right.' The AI will target only that person and preserve everyone else.

Is this better than just cropping them out?

Usually yes. Cropping cuts off parts of the scene and changes composition, sometimes making the photo awkward. AI removal keeps the full scene intact and fills the gap naturally. You preserve more of the background, location, and memory—just without the painful reminder.
