How do I remove a person from just the background?
Upload your photo to EditThisPic, tap the background person to mark them, type 'remove the marked person from the background and keep the foreground exactly the same,' and click Generate. The AI removes only the background person in 15-30 seconds.
Will the foreground subject (me) stay the same?
Yes, when you mark only the background person and use 'keep the foreground exactly the same' in your prompt. The AI focuses entirely on the background area you marked. The foreground subject remains pixel-perfect.
Can I remove multiple background people at once?
Yes. Place a marker on each background person, then use 'remove all marked background people and keep the foreground intact.' For best results, do this in batches of 5-10 markers per edit if there are many.
Does it work on portraits with shallow depth of field?
Yes. Portraits with blurred backgrounds (shallow DOF) are some of the easiest cases. The AI replaces the marked person with continued blur, matching the bokeh effect.
Can it remove people visible through windows?
Yes. People visible through windows in the background of a photo are removed normally. Mention 'show the clean outdoor view' or 'show the empty scene through the window' for accurate reconstruction.
Will it affect the lighting on the foreground subject?
No. The AI only modifies the marked area. Foreground lighting, color, and detail remain unchanged. The background reconstruction matches the existing lighting so it doesn't look out of place.
Is the background person remover free?
Yes — one free edit per week with no account needed. For more, packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits and subscriptions start at $4.99/month for 15.
What if the background person is partially behind the subject?
Mark the visible part of the background person. The AI removes what's visible and reconstructs the area. For complex overlaps, you may need a refinement pass to clean up edges where the foreground subject meets the reconstructed background.
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.
