How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with any photo containing your ex: wedding photos, vacation snapshots, holiday gatherings, graduation pictures, or couple selfies.

Expect: Simple removals (ex on edge of frame): 15-30 seconds. Complex scenes (ex in center, arms around you): may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'remove the person on the left' or 'delete my ex and extend the beach background.' Be specific about position or clothing if there are multiple people. No marking needed - the AI understands descriptions like 'the man in the blue suit' or 'the woman on the right side.'

Tip: For photos where you're touching or close together, mention it: 'remove the person with their arm around me.'

Review and feel the relief

EditThisPic removes your ex and reconstructs the background naturally. Check the edges and filled areas at full zoom. The goal is a photo that looks like they were never there - a memory you can keep without the painful reminder.
Refine with markers if needed

If traces remain (a hand, shadow, or reflection), tap a marker on that spot and regenerate. This is optional - most removals work perfectly the first time, especially when the person is clearly separated from you.

Tip: Look for shadows on the ground, reflections in windows, or arms that were around you.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Zoom in and place a marker directly on the ex 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 ex with clean wall' for predictable results

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the ex, 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 the wrong person from the photo

Why: The description wasn't specific enough to identify which person you meant, especially in group photos with multiple people.

Try: Tap a marker directly on your ex, then use: 'remove this person completely'

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly who you mean. Use them when descriptions fail.

Their arm or hand is still visible around me

Why: The AI focused on the main body but missed the arm that was around your shoulder or waist.

Try: remove all traces of this person including arms, hands, and any body parts touching me

Try This →

Tip: Be explicit about removing all contact points, especially in close couple photos.

Shadow or reflection still visible

Why: Person shadows on the ground or reflections in water, windows, or mirrors weren't included in the removal.

Try: remove the person's shadow on the ground and any reflections

Try This →

Tip: Look carefully for shadows, especially at beaches, near pools, or in venues with reflective surfaces.

Background looks blurry or unnatural after removal

Why: Complex or unique backgrounds are harder to reconstruct. The AI may struggle with intricate patterns or crowded scenes.

Try: improve the background fill, make it match the surrounding texture and lighting naturally

Try This →

Tip: Specify what the background should look like: 'extend the brick wall pattern' or 'continue the garden flowers.'

The spacing looks awkward after removal

Why: Removing someone from between others or from a couple pose can leave unnatural gaps in the composition.

Try: remove this person and recompose the image to feel balanced

Try This →

Tip: Sometimes a slight crop after removal creates a better final composition than trying to fill a large gap.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my ex before describing the removal?

No. For most photos, just describe who to remove: 'remove the man on the right' or 'delete the person in the blue dress.' The AI understands these descriptions. Only use markers when you need absolute precision - like in crowded group photos where multiple people could match your description.

How do I remove my ex from wedding photos?

Upload your wedding photo and type something like 'remove the person next to the bride and extend the venue background.' Wedding venues often have repeating patterns (flowers, drapes, arches) that the AI fills naturally. For bridal party lineups, specify position: 'remove the third person from the left.'

What if we're hugging or very close in the photo?

The AI can handle intimate poses. Be specific: 'remove the person with their arm around me' or 'remove my ex including their hands on my waist.' You may need one refinement pass for complex poses where bodies overlap significantly.

Can I remove my ex from old vacation photos?

Yes. EditThisPic works on any photo - recent or years old. Upload the image and describe who to remove. Beach, landmark, and nature backgrounds are especially easy because the AI can extend sky, sand, water, or foliage seamlessly.

Is there a free tool to remove someone from photos without signing up?

Yes, EditThisPic is free to try with no signup required. You get one free edit per week. Just upload your photo and describe what you want removed - no account, no watermark, no credit card.

Will people be able to tell someone was removed?

In most cases, no. The AI reconstructs backgrounds intelligently, extending patterns, textures, and lighting naturally. Simple backgrounds (beaches, walls, outdoor scenes) are virtually undetectable. Very complex scenes may show subtle signs if examined closely.

Is EditThisPic's AI ex remover really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

What photo formats does the AI ex remover support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
