How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a photo where the unwanted element is clearly visible. The AI needs to see surrounding context to fill in naturally after bystander. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
  2. Describe your edit

    Type what you want: 'remove the bystander standing in the background.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Upload the person you want to add as a reference image for seamless insertion.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Person lurking in background remove the random person standing in the background behind us
    People on the sides remove the bystanders on both sides of the frame, keep only the main subjects
    Someone sitting on bench behind remove the person sitting on the bench in the background
    Dog walker passing by remove the person walking their dog through the background
    4 more prompts
    Workers or staff in background remove the workers or staff visible in the background of this photo
    Clean removal with smooth fill remove bystander completely and fill the area with a clean, smooth background that matches surroundings
    Preserve surrounding detail remove bystander while preserving all surrounding details and textures exactly as they are
    Multiple instances at once remove all visible bystander from the entire photo, clean and seamless result
  3. Review the result

    Examine the area where the object was removed. The fill should match surrounding texture, color, and perspective. Check that no ghost outlines or smudged patches remain.
