How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear photo showing the area you want to edit. Good lighting and sharp focus help the AI deliver better person walking through photo results. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple removal (person at edge): 20-30 seconds. Complex scenes (person in middle, crowded background): 40-60 seconds.

  2. Describe who to remove

    Type 'remove the person walking through' or 'delete the person on the left/right.' The AI identifies the intruding person, erases them completely, and fills in the background naturally. Be specific about position or clothing if multiple people are visible.

    Tip: Adding 'fill the background naturally' helps ensure smooth reconstruction where they were standing.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Someone walked through my tourist photo remove the person walking through and fill the background naturally
    Try This →
    Person blocking landmark or scenery delete the person on the left/right, show the full landmark behind them
    Try This →
    Stranger at edge of my photo remove the person at the edge of the frame, extend the scenery
    Try This →
    Someone in background of portrait remove the person in the background walking by, keep main subject untouched
    Try This →
    3 more prompts
    Person wearing specific clothing remove the person in the [color/type] jacket walking through
    Try This →
    Multiple people walking through remove all people walking through, show just the landmark/scene
    Try This →
    Person partially visible, entering frame remove the partial person on the left/right edge, complete the background
    Try This →

  3. Review the result

    Check that the person 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 where they were standing.

  4. Refine if needed (optional)

    If any traces remain or the background fill looks off, tap a marker on the problem area and try 'fix this area naturally' or 'remove all traces of the person and blend background.' This is rarely needed for clear removals.

    Tip: If removing the person leaves an awkward gap, try 'extend the background naturally to fill the space' for better composition.

"Only decent shot at a famous landmark and a tourist walked right through it. This removed them perfectly—the background filled in so naturally you can't tell anyone was there." @TravelPhotog

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Photo Rescue & Restoration

Revive old, damaged, or poorly-shot photos with AI person walking through photo — bring new life to images you thought were unsalvageable.

Common Scenarios

  • Applying person walking through photo to old family photos that have degraded over time
  • Fixing a once-in-a-lifetime shot (wedding, graduation) that suffers from poor quality
  • Using person walking through photo on scanned prints to get crisp digital versions

Best Practices

  • Scan old photos at the highest DPI your scanner supports before uploading for best results
  • Describe the specific issue — 'this photo is too dark and blurry' gives better person walking through photo than a generic prompt
  • For severely damaged photos, work in stages: fix the biggest issue first, then refine
📷

Professional & Business Use

Ensure photos for websites, presentations, and marketing meet professional standards with person walking through photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Using person walking through photo on employee photos for a company website that need to look polished
  • Applying person walking through photo to event photos before sharing in a client presentation
  • Improving product images with person walking through photo for an online store or catalog

Best Practices

  • Process all images in a batch with the same enhancement settings for visual consistency
  • For web use, balance enhancement quality with file size — overly large images slow page loads

📷

Common Scenarios

  • Using person walking through photo on a selfie that has great composition but poor lighting
  • Batch-fixing a phone gallery of photos with person walking through photo before creating an album to share

Best Practices

  • Start with the photo you'd most like to share — fix that one first and use the same approach on the rest
  • For selfies, subtle enhancement always beats heavy processing — keep it natural
  • If the photo was shot in low light, mention it in the prompt so the AI tailors person walking through photo accordingly

If something looks off

AI removed the wrong person or changed main subject

Why: The description was ambiguous when multiple people are present. The AI needs clearer direction about which person is intruding vs which is the intended subject.

Try: remove only the person in [describe clothing/position], keep everyone else unchanged
Try This →

Tip: Be very specific: 'remove the person in the blue jacket on the left' or use markers to tap exactly who to remove.

Background looks weird or has artifacts where person was

Why: Complex backgrounds or patterns can make the AI's fill less natural. The area behind the person may have been difficult to reconstruct.

Try: remove person and fill the background more naturally, match surrounding textures and patterns
Try This →

Tip: Try Pro mode (4 credits) for complex backgrounds like architecture, crowds, or detailed patterns.

Person's shadow or reflection still visible

Why: The AI removed the person but missed their shadow on the ground or reflection in water/windows.

Try: remove the person and all their shadows, reflections, and traces
Try This →

Tip: Mark any leftover traces and run a second edit for a completely clean result.

Composition looks empty or awkward after removal

Why: Simply removing someone can leave the scene feeling unbalanced or with an odd gap in composition.

Try: remove this person and extend the background to fill the space naturally, improve composition
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'improve composition' or 'reframe' helps the AI create a better final image balance.

AI didn't remove anyone at all

Why: The prompt may have been too vague, or the AI couldn't identify which person you meant by 'walking through.'

Try: tap a marker on the intruding person, then 'remove this person completely and fill naturally'
Try This →

Tip: Markers eliminate ambiguity—tap exactly who you want gone.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the person before removing them?

No. Just type 'remove the person walking through' or 'delete the person on the left' and the AI finds and removes them automatically. Markers are only needed in crowded scenes or when multiple people are present and description alone is ambiguous.

Will the background look natural where the person was standing?

Yes, in most cases. The AI reconstructs background scenery, patterns, and textures where they were. Results are best when the background is relatively simple or repeating (sky, grass, pavement, architecture). Complex unique backgrounds may need refinement.

Can I remove multiple people walking through at once?

You can try 'remove all people walking through' to fix multiple at once. However, handling one person at a time usually gives more consistent and controllable results, especially in complex scenes.

What if the person is only partially in frame (arm or leg visible)?

Works perfectly. Say 'remove the partial person on the left/right edge' and the AI will remove the visible portion and complete the background. This is actually easier than removing someone fully in frame.

Will this work if the person is blocking an important part of the scene?

Yes. The AI reconstructs what's behind them based on surrounding context. For landmarks, architecture, or patterned backgrounds, the AI can usually infer and fill convincingly. Say 'show the full landmark behind them' to emphasize reconstruction.
