How it works

  1. Upload the screenshot

    Drop in the capture with the cursor — an app window, a webpage, or a settings panel. PNG, JPG or WebP up to 7MB. Sharp UI screenshots work best.

    Expect: A cursor over flat UI clears in 15-30 seconds. One sitting over dense text or an icon is a little harder.
  2. Ask to remove the cursor

    Type 'remove the mouse cursor arrow and rebuild the interface behind it.' If the pointer is a text-beam or hand, describe that shape instead.

    Tip: Mention what's under the cursor — 'the button,' 'the text line' — for a cleaner rebuild.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Cursor over a button remove the mouse cursor arrow sitting on this button and rebuild the button label behind it
    Cursor over text remove the text-beam cursor from this paragraph and rebuild the covered letters
    Hand pointer on a link remove the hand-shaped pointer over this link and restore the underlined text
    Cursor over an icon remove the cursor covering this toolbar icon and rebuild the icon underneath
    2 more prompts
    Loading spinner too remove the cursor and the loading spinner from this screenshot, show a clean idle state
    Cursor on a plain area remove the mouse arrow from the empty part of this window
  3. Check the spot

    Zoom into where the cursor was. Buttons, text, or icons underneath should read continuous with no arrow ghost or blur. Regenerate if the UI looks patched.

  4. Download the clean screenshot

    Save the result. With the cursor gone, the screenshot looks intentional — ready for a guide, a slide deck, or a doc.

Quick answers

How do I remove a cursor from a screenshot for free?

Upload the screenshot to EditThisPic, type 'remove the mouse cursor and rebuild the interface behind it,' and download. The free tier is one preview edit per week, no signup; purchased downloads are clean.

Does it handle the arrow, hand, and text cursors?

Yes. Describe which one — 'the arrow,' 'the hand pointer,' or 'the text I-beam' — and the AI clears it and rebuilds whatever was underneath.

What if the cursor is over text?

It rebuilds the covered letters, but a cursor over text is a reconstruction, not a recovery — for critical UI, it's safer to retake the screenshot with the pointer moved off the text.

Can it remove a loading spinner too?

Yes. Ask to 'remove the cursor and the loading spinner' and the AI clears both to show a clean, idle-looking interface.

Will the rest of the screenshot stay sharp?

Yes. The edit targets the cursor area; the surrounding UI, text, and icons stay as captured.

Is there a watermark?

No. EditThisPic doesn't watermark output on any tier.

Do I need an account?

No. Upload, describe, and download without signing up. An account only helps you save edits.

Which screenshot works best?

A sharp capture where the cursor sits over flat UI or an empty area rebuilds most cleanly. A cursor over dense text or a small icon is harder.
