How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your outdoor or landscape image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best on photos where distant objects are obscured by atmospheric haze or fog.

Expect: Simple edits with moderate haze: 15-30 seconds. Heavy fog conditions: may need 2-3 refinements for optimal clarity.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'remove atmospheric haze and increase clarity' or 'clear the fog from distant mountains.' Be specific about which areas need clearing if only part of the image is affected. No marking needed—the AI understands atmospheric conditions.

Tip: Include what should be revealed: 'clear haze to show distant mountains' gives better results than just 'remove haze'

Generate and review

Click Generate and watch the AI clear atmospheric haze while preserving natural colors and contrast. Check distant details at full zoom to verify clarity improvement.
Refine with markers if needed

If specific areas still appear hazy or the AI cleared too much, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional—most haze removal works without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not required. Try without them first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the haze, 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 changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific hazy area you want to clear, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS area specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Image looks oversaturated or colors seem unnatural

Why: Aggressive haze removal can boost colors beyond natural levels, especially in skies and distant landscapes.

Try: Add 'while preserving natural colors and saturation' to your prompt to maintain realistic tones

Try This →

Tip: For morning or evening shots, specify 'preserve the warm/cool lighting' to maintain the mood

Foreground became too sharp or processed-looking

Why: The AI applied clarity enhancement across the entire image instead of just distant hazy areas.

Try: Be specific: 'remove haze from distant mountains only, keep foreground natural' to protect near elements

Try This →

Tip: Use markers on distant areas to focus the haze removal away from sharp foreground subjects

Details are lost or image looks flat

Why: Heavy haze removal can reduce atmospheric depth if applied too aggressively across all distance layers.

Try: Add 'preserve atmospheric depth and natural perspective' to maintain some separation between near and far

Try This →

Tip: Some haze is natural and helps depth perception - don't remove all atmospheric effects

Haze remains in some areas after processing

Why: Very thick fog or uneven haze distribution may need targeted clearing instead of global removal.

Try: Use markers to tap on the specific remaining hazy areas, then regenerate with 'clear this specific area'

Try This →

Tip: Complex fog scenes may need 2-3 passes: clear heavy areas first, then refine stubborn spots

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the hazy areas before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove atmospheric haze' or 'clear fog from mountains.' The AI understands atmospheric conditions. Only use markers when you need precision—like clearing haze from one specific area while leaving atmospheric depth elsewhere.

How do I remove haze from a photo for free?

Upload your image to EditThisPic, type 'remove atmospheric haze and increase clarity,' and click Generate. The AI automatically identifies and removes haze while preserving natural colors and details. Free to try with no account needed.

Will removing haze make my photo look unnatural?

EditThisPic's AI preserves natural atmospheric perspective and color gradients while clearing haze. The key is being specific in your prompt—mention 'natural colors' and 'preserve lighting' to maintain realistic results. Some atmospheric depth is retained for natural-looking landscapes.

Can I remove haze from just part of a photo?

Yes. Describe the specific area: 'clear haze from distant mountains only' or use markers to tap on the hazy region you want cleared. This preserves foreground clarity while enhancing distant visibility.

What's the difference between haze and fog removal?

Haze is typically thinner atmospheric obscuration that reduces contrast and clarity. Fog is denser and can completely obscure subjects. EditThisPic handles both—just describe what you see: 'remove haze' for thin atmospheric effects or 'clear thick fog' for dense obscuration.

Is EditThisPic's AI haze remover really free?

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

Can I remove haze on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI haze remover support?

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