How it works

  1. Upload your car photo

    Upload a sharp photo of the vehicle from a clear angle. Natural daylight and minimal reflections help the AI handle car scratches accurately. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple scratches: 35-40 seconds. Multiple areas or dents: 45-55 seconds.
  2. Describe the damage to remove

    Type what needs fixing: 'remove the scratch on the door' or 'fix the dent on the front bumper and remove scratches.' Be specific about location if there's damage in multiple spots. The AI understands car parts and damage types.

    Tip: Mentioning the car part ('door', 'bumper', 'fender') helps the AI locate damage precisely, especially in wide shots.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Door scratch removal remove the scratch on the car door, make the paint smooth and match the rest
    Bumper dent fix fix the dent on the front bumper, restore the original body line
    Multiple scratches remove all visible scratches from the car body, keep the paint color original
    Fender damage remove the scratch and small dent on the rear fender
    3 more prompts
    Hood surface scratches remove surface scratches from the hood, make the paint smooth
    Bumper scuff marks remove scuff marks from the bumper and restore the original finish
    Side panel comprehensive repair remove scratches, dents, and dings from the side panel, make it look new
  3. Review the repair

    Check that scratches and dents are gone while paint color, reflections, and body lines remain intact. Zoom in on repaired areas to verify smooth, natural-looking results that match surrounding paint.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the AI missed some damage or changed the wrong area, tap markers directly on the scratches or dents and regenerate. Most damage removal works perfectly on the first try.

    Tip: Markers are for precision when damage is subtle or in complex areas like near trim or door handles.

"I photograph used cars for online listings. Minor scratches and dings tank the perceived value. Now I clean them up digitally for the listing photos. Buyers see the car's potential, not just the wear." @CarFlip_Alex

Detailed Guides by Scenario

πŸ“·

Professional Photography

Remove unwanted car scratches from professional photo shoots, client deliverables, and stock photography to achieve clean, polished results.

Common Scenarios

  • Client portrait sessions where the car scratches appeared unexpectedly in frame
  • Stock photography that needs the car scratches removed for broader commercial appeal
  • Product photography with distracting car scratches in the background

Best Practices

  • Zoom in and place a marker directly on the car scratches for the most accurate removal
  • Run a second pass if any faint outlines or shadows remain after the first edit
  • Describe the desired background fill β€” e.g., 'replace the car scratches with clean wall' for predictable results
πŸ“·

Real Estate & Property Listings

Clean up property photos by removing car scratches that distract buyers and lower perceived home value.

Common Scenarios

  • Listing photos where the car scratches clutters the frame and makes rooms look smaller
  • Exterior shots with car scratches that hurt curb appeal
  • Open house photos that need the car scratches removed before uploading to MLS

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit β€” AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the car scratches, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
  • Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent
πŸ“·

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing car scratches before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

  • Vacation photos where the car scratches appeared in an otherwise perfect shot
  • Family photos with car scratches that distract from the people in the frame
  • Profile pictures and dating app photos that need the car scratches cleaned out

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first β€” edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the car scratches carefully to avoid affecting nearby people
  • If the first result isn't perfect, try rewording your prompt with more detail about the background

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

AI removed the wrong scratch or changed an area I didn't want fixed

Why: When multiple scratches exist, the AI might not know which specific one you meant without clear guidance.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the exact scratch you want removed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers eliminate ambiguity by showing the AI 'THIS scratch specifically, not the others.'

Repaired area doesn't match the surrounding paint color

Why: Complex lighting, metallic paint, or color variations across panels make perfect color matching challenging.

Try: remove the [damage] and match the exact paint color and finish of the surrounding area

Tip: Explicitly requesting color matching tells the AI to prioritize blending over simple removal.

Body lines or reflections look distorted after damage removal

Why: Dent removal can inadvertently alter the car's natural curves and reflections if not carefully handled.

Try: fix the dent while preserving the original body lines and natural reflections

Tip: 'Preserving body lines' ensures the car's shape remains correct after removing damage.

The AI missed some of the damage or only partially removed it

Why: Very subtle scratches or damage that blends with panel gaps can be hard for AI to detect.

Try: Tap markers on all damaged areas, then regenerate: remove all marked scratches and dents completely

Tip: Markers make subtle damage visible to the AI, ensuring nothing gets missed.

Result looks airbrushed or too smooth, doesn't look like real paint

Why: Aggressive damage removal can over-smooth the area, losing the texture of automotive paint.

Try: remove the [damage] while keeping the natural paint texture and grain

Tip: 'Natural paint texture' prevents the repaired area from looking like digital smoothing instead of car paint.

Dent removal created new distortions or warping

Why: Complex dents near edges or curves require understanding of the car's 3D shape to fix correctly.

Try: Tap markers around the dent perimeter, regenerate: restore this area to match the car's natural contour

Tip: Markers around the damage give the AI context about the correct shape to restore.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the scratches before describing them?

No! Just describe the damage: 'remove the scratch on the door' or 'fix the dent on the bumper.' The AI finds and repairs the damage automatically. Only use markers when there are multiple scratches and you want to remove a specific one, or when damage is very subtle and needs to be pointed out.

Is this the same as actually repairing the car?

No, this digitally removes damage from photos onlyβ€”the real car remains unchanged. It's perfect for creating cleaner listing photos, insurance documentation, or visualizing how a car would look after real repairs. For actual repair, you still need a body shop.

Can I remove dents as well as scratches?

Yes! The AI handles both scratches and dents. Say 'remove the scratch and dent on the fender' or 'fix the dent on the bumper.' It restores body lines and paint continuity for both types of damage. Dents may take slightly longer (45-50 seconds) than simple scratches.

Will the repaired area match my car's paint color?

Yes, the AI analyzes surrounding paint and matches color, finish, and reflections. For best results, include 'match the paint' in your prompt: 'remove the scratch and match the original paint color.' This works for solid colors, metallics, and pearls.

What's the best free tool to remove scratches from car photos?

EditThisPic offers free AI scratch and dent removal with no signup. Unlike manual tools that require careful cloning or patching, just describe the damage location. The AI preserves body lines, reflections, and paint texture while eliminating scratches and dents in 35-45 seconds.
