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 construction elements. 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 construction elements from this photo seamlessly.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

    Tip: Tap a marker on the exact spot where you want the object added or removed.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Scaffolding Remove the construction scaffolding from this building and reveal the clean facade behind it
    Try This →
    Construction barriers Remove construction barriers, cones, and temporary fencing from this street scene
    Try This →
    Crane removal Remove the construction crane visible in the background of this cityscape photo
    Try This →
    Dumpster and debris Remove the construction dumpster and debris pile from this property exterior photo
    Try This →
    4 more prompts
    Temporary signage Remove all temporary construction signs, warnings, and permit notices from this building photo
    Try This →
    Clean removal with smooth fill remove construction elements completely and fill the area with a clean, smooth background that matches surroundings
    Try This →
    Preserve surrounding detail remove construction elements while preserving all surrounding details and textures exactly as they are
    Try This →
    Multiple instances at once remove all visible construction elements from the entire photo, clean and seamless result
    Try This →

  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.

  4. Refine if needed

    If the removed area shows repetitive patterns or the fill doesn't match surrounding texture, tap markers on those spots and describe the issue. Try 'blend this patch with the surrounding area' for seamless results.

    Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Zoom in and place a marker directly on the construction elements 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 construction elements with clean wall' for predictable results
📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing construction elements before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the construction elements 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

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

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

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: remove construction elements from this photo seamlessly, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Object placed in wrong location

Why: The AI guessed where to place the object without clear spatial guidance.

Try: Tap a marker on the exact spot where you want the object, then regenerate
Try This →

Tip: Always use a marker for object placement — it removes all guesswork about positioning.

Removed object left visible artifacts

Why: The area behind the removed object was complex and the AI couldn't fully reconstruct it.

Try: Tap markers on the remaining artifacts and regenerate: 'clean up these remaining marks'
Try This →

Tip: For stubborn artifacts, try a second pass focused only on the leftover marks.

Added object has wrong scale for the scene

Why: The AI misjudged the perspective or distance in the photo.

Try: Specify the size explicitly: 'add a small potted plant about knee-height' or 'a large tree filling the corner'
Try This →

Tip: Reference other objects in the scene for scale: 'about the same height as the chair beside it.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark anything?

Markers are optional but help for precision. Try without first — the AI usually identifies the right area from your description alone.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, any modern browser on phone, tablet, or desktop.

Can it remove scaffolding from a whole building?

Yes. The AI reconstructs the building facade behind the scaffolding using surrounding architectural context.

Will it restore the sidewalk?

Yes. Construction barriers on sidewalks are removed and the pavement is restored seamlessly.

Does it work on active construction sites?

Yes. The AI can clean up construction elements while preserving the underlying structure.

Is my photo kept private when I remove construction elements?

Yes. Your photo is processed in real-time by the AI and is not stored on our servers after editing. No account is required to use the tool, and we don't collect or share your images. Your original file stays on your device.

How does EditThisPic compare to Photoshop for removing construction elements?

EditThisPic uses AI that understands natural language, so you describe the edit you want instead of using complex tools. It works instantly in your browser with no software to install or learn. For removing construction elements, you simply type what you want and the AI handles the rest in 20-45 seconds.

What's the most common use case for removing construction elements?

Most users remove construction elements for social media content, professional work, or personal projects. The AI handles both simple and creative edits, so whether you need a quick fix or an artistic transformation, you can describe exactly what you want in plain English.

Can I remove construction elements for multiple photos at once?

Currently, EditThisPic processes one photo at a time for the best AI results. Upload each photo individually and use the same prompt — the process takes about 20-45 seconds per image. For large batches, a paid plan gives you unlimited edits without waiting.

What makes a good photo for removing construction elements?

Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.

What types of photos work best with this tool?

JPG, PNG, and WebP photos up to 7MB work best. The AI handles photos from any camera or phone. High-resolution images with good lighting produce the best results. Extremely dark, heavily compressed, or very small images may produce less precise edits.

Can I also enhance the remaining photo in the same edit?

Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to remove construction elements and enhance the remaining photo at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
