Fix Photos Ruined by Strangers

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your ruined photo

   Drop the image into EditThisPic. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Whether it's a vacation photo, proposal shot, or family moment ruined by a random person walking through.

   Expect: Simple removals (person at edge, plain background): 15-30 seconds. Complex scenes (crowds, overlapping people): may need 2-3 refinements.
2. 2

   Describe who ruined the shot

   Type your instruction: 'remove the stranger on the right side of the photo' or 'remove the person in the red shirt walking through the background.' Be specific about location and appearance. For crowded scenes with multiple strangers, tap a marker on the specific person first, then describe—it's faster and more accurate than describing 'the third person from the left.'

   Tip: Mention distinctive clothing colors or position: 'remove the person in bright yellow jacket at far right edge'

   Generate and review

   The AI removes the stranger and intelligently fills the background. Check at full zoom that edges are clean, shadows are gone, and the background looks natural where they were standing.

4. 4

   Refine with markers if needed

   If the AI changed the wrong person or left parts behind, tap markers on the exact problem areas and regenerate. This is optional—most removals work without markers if your description is specific.

   Tip: Markers are for precision refinement when multiple similar people are in frame. Try description first.
