How it works

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 clutter. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Light clutter: 20-30 seconds. Heavy decluttering with many objects: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe what clutter to remove

Type your instruction: 'remove the clutter on the desk and show clean surface' or 'clean up the background by removing the scattered items.' Be specific about which items to remove if you want to keep some. No marking needed for general decluttering.

Tip: Describe what should remain: 'keep the laptop but remove everything else from the desk'

Review the result

Check that unwanted items are gone and the surface looks naturally empty. Verify that items you wanted to keep are still there and the fill blends with surrounding areas.
Refine with markers if needed

If some clutter remains or the AI removed something you wanted to keep, tap markers on specific items for a targeted follow-up edit. Sometimes complex scenes need multiple passes.

Tip: Use markers when you want to remove specific items while keeping others nearby.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Zoom in and place a marker directly on the clutter 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 — e.g., 'replace the clutter with clean wall' for predictable results

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the clutter, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent

If something looks off

AI removed something I wanted to keep

Why: The AI interpreted 'clutter' to include items you considered important or decorative.

Try: Undo and specify: 'remove clutter but keep the plant and lamp'

Try This →

Tip: Explicitly list items to keep in your prompt to prevent accidental removal.

Some clutter still visible

Why: The AI didn't recognize all items as clutter, especially small or partially hidden objects.

Try: Tap markers on remaining items and say 'remove these remaining objects'

Try This →

Tip: Multiple passes work well for heavily cluttered scenes.

Fill doesn't match the surface texture

Why: The AI-generated surface is slightly different from the original desk, counter, or floor.

Try: blend the cleared areas to match the surrounding surface texture and color

Try This →

Tip: Describing the surface helps: 'show clean white desk' or 'match the wood grain pattern'.

AI couldn't tell what was clutter vs important

Why: Clutter is subjective. The AI had to guess what you considered unwanted.

Try: Tap markers on specific items you want removed, then regenerate

Try This →

Tip: Markers give you precise control over exactly which items to remove.

Large cluttered area looks patchy after removal

Why: Removing many items at once required the AI to generate a lot of new surface area.

Try: smooth out the cleared area and create uniform surface appearance

Try This →

Tip: For heavy decluttering, try removing items in stages for cleaner results.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the clutter before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove the clutter from the desk' or 'clean up the background.' The AI understands general decluttering requests. Use markers when you want to remove specific items while keeping others nearby, or when the AI misses something on the first try.

How does AI know what counts as clutter?

The AI looks for smaller, scattered items that appear out of place. For more control, be specific: 'remove the papers and cables' or 'keep the laptop, remove everything else.' You can always use markers to target exact items.

Can I remove clutter but keep certain things?

Absolutely! Add exceptions to your prompt: 'remove desk clutter but keep the computer and plant.' Or use markers to tap only the specific items you want removed while leaving others untouched.

Does it work for real estate photo staging?

Yes, it's perfect for virtual staging. Use prompts like 'remove personal items and clutter for real estate listing' to create that minimalist, staged look buyers expect.

What if there's a lot of clutter?

Heavily cluttered scenes may need 2-3 passes. Start with the largest or most obvious items, then refine. The AI handles complex decluttering but may need guidance for perfect results.
