Is power-line removal really free?
Yes. EditThisPic gives one free Fast edit per week per IP with no signup. Paid packs start at $4.99 for 10 edits — useful for batch jobs like a real estate listing.
Will the sky look fake afterward?
On clean blue or gray skies, the reconstruction is invisible. On clouds or sunsets, name the sky type in the prompt ('preserve the existing cloud pattern' or 'keep the sunset gradient') for the best result.
Can I remove power lines AND telephone poles in one pass?
Yes. Prompt 'remove all power lines, cables, and utility poles in this photo — reconstruct the sky and background naturally.' For dense scenes, run a refinement pass after.
How long does it take?
About 20 seconds in Fast mode. Pro mode (2 credits) takes 30-40 seconds and handles dense urban shots better.
Does it work on phone photos?
Yes. Any JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB works. Convert iPhone HEIC files to JPG first.
Is it OK to remove power lines for an MLS real estate listing?
MLS rules vary by board. Many allow background edits like cable removal, some don't. Check your local MLS rules before publishing — this is not legal advice.
Will it affect the rest of the photo?
Only the cables, poles, and immediate sky behind them change. Add 'keep everything else identical' to the prompt if you want to be explicit.
Is there a watermark?
No. Free and paid edits both produce watermark-free output.
How much does EditThisPic cost?
You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs start at $4.99 for 10 edits, valid 12 months, no subscription. Power users who edit daily can pick Studio Membership, a monthly workspace at $49.99/mo for 300 edits. Purchased downloads are clean with no watermark.
