How do I remove a cigarette from a photo for free?
Upload the photo to EditThisPic, type 'remove the cigarette and rebuild the hand (or mouth) naturally,' and download. The free tier is one edit per week with no signup or watermark.
Can it remove the smoke too?
Yes, but name it. Say 'remove the cigarette and the smoke' — otherwise a faint wisp can remain because the AI treats the smoke as separate from the cigarette.
Does it work on old scanned family photos?
Yes. It's a common use — clearing a cigarette from an older relative's photo. Add 'keep it vintage' so the restoration doesn't change the era's look.
What about a cigarette at the lips?
That works but is harder than one in the hand, because the mouth behind it has to be rebuilt. Asking for a 'natural, relaxed expression' gives the best result.
Can it remove a vape instead?
Yes. The same prompt style works for a vape or e-cigarette — 'remove the vape and rebuild my hand.'
Is there a watermark?
No. Output is never watermarked on any tier.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Upload, describe, and preview the result without an account; purchased downloads are clean. Signing up only helps you save edits to a library.
Which photo works best?
A cigarette held in the hand or resting nearby is the cleanest fix. One covering the mouth is doable but takes a rebuild of the lips.
