How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works best when the object you want to remove is clearly visible.

⏱ Simple objects on plain backgrounds: 15-20 seconds. Complex objects or busy backgrounds: may need 1-2 refinements.

Describe what to remove

Type your instruction: 'remove the trash can' or 'delete the power lines.' Be specific about which object if there are multiples: 'remove the red car on the left.' The AI understands object names and positions.

💡 Use position words like 'on the right,' 'in the corner,' or 'behind the person' to target specific objects.

Copy one of these to get started:

Obvious single object remove the trash can and fill with the surrounding area

Object in specific position delete the street sign on the right side of the image

Power lines and wires remove all the power lines and show clean sky

Vehicle in scene remove the parked car and show the street behind it

3 more prompts

Specific colored object delete the orange traffic cone on the left

Furniture or indoor objects remove the lamp in the corner and extend the wall

Multiple similar objects remove only the leftmost chair, keep the others

Review the result

Check where the object was. Zoom in to verify the AI filled the area naturally. Look for any ghosting, color mismatches, or texture inconsistencies.

Refine with markers if needed

If remnants remain or the AI removed the wrong thing, tap a marker on the exact spot and regenerate. Most single-object removals work without markers.

💡 Markers are for precision when you have multiple similar objects. Try without them first.

If something looks off

AI removed the wrong object

Why: When multiple similar objects exist, the AI may guess which one you meant. Your description was ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the exact object you want removed, then use the same prompt

💡 Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Object outline or shadow still visible

Why: The AI filled the area but missed the shadow or left a faint edge. Shadows are separate from objects.

Try: remove the remaining shadow and blend with surroundings

💡 Explicitly mention shadows in your original prompt: 'remove the trash can and its shadow'

Fill looks blurry or smeared

Why: The AI couldn't infer what was behind the object. Complex backgrounds are harder to reconstruct.

Try: regenerate the area behind where the object was with more detail

💡 Objects against simple backgrounds (sky, grass, walls) fill more cleanly

Color mismatch in filled area

Why: The AI estimated the background color incorrectly, creating a visible patch.

Try: blend the patched area to match surrounding colors

💡 This happens more with gradients. Try specifying the color: 'fill with the blue sky'

Part of the object remains

Why: The object extends beyond what the AI detected, or it missed a piece.

Try: Tap a marker on the remaining piece and say 'remove this too'

💡 Large objects may need two passes. That's normal.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the object before describing what to remove?

No! Just describe it: 'remove the trash can' or 'delete the sign on the left.' The AI understands object names and positions. Only use markers when there are multiple similar objects and you need to specify which one.

Can I remove multiple objects at once?

Yes. Say 'remove all the trash cans' or 'delete the sign and the pole.' For different object types, you can combine: 'remove the car and the traffic cone.' Complex multi-object removals may need refinement.

What objects work best for removal?

Objects against simple backgrounds work best: things on grass, pavement, walls, or sky. Objects in front of complex patterns or overlapping with people may need multiple tries.

Will removing large objects look natural?

Usually yes. The AI reconstructs what was behind the object. Large objects against busy backgrounds may show some artifacts. Simple backgrounds give the best results.

Can I remove objects from product photos?

Absolutely. Remove dust, scratches, unwanted reflections, or background items. Product photos on plain backgrounds work especially well.
