How it works

  1. Upload the two-person photo

    JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 7MB. Side by side or arms around each other both work; the amount of overlap decides how clean the result is.

    Expect: Two people standing apart against a plain wall take about 20-35 seconds and come back clean. An arm around a shoulder or a head resting on the other's is the hard case: the covered part of the person who stays has to be invented.
  2. Describe who stays and who goes

    Type the whole instruction: 'remove the man in the yellow jacket on the right and continue the grey stone wall where he was, keep the woman in the red coat exactly as she is — her face, hair, and pose unchanged.' There is nothing to select or mark — naming both people by clothing and side is how the AI tells them apart.

    Tip: Always name the person who stays, not just the one who goes. It is the line that keeps their face, hair, and outfit untouched while the rest is rebuilt.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Two people standing apart remove the man in the yellow jacket on the right and continue the grey stone wall where he was, keep the woman in the red coat exactly as she is
    Arm around the shoulder remove the person on the left and their arm from around the other person's shoulders, rebuild the shoulder and jacket underneath and continue the background; keep the remaining person's face, hair, and pose unchanged
    One slightly behind the other remove the woman standing slightly behind the man's right shoulder and rebuild his shoulder and the park behind him, keep his face and outfit exactly the same
    Against sky or sea remove the man on the left of the pier photo and extend the railing, sea, and sky naturally where he was, keep the woman in the turquoise dress exactly as she is
    2 more prompts
    Remove their shadow too remove the man on the right and his shadow on the ground, continue the paving stones, keep the woman and her own shadow exactly as they are
    Heads leaning together remove the person on the left whose head is leaning against the other person's, rebuild the side of the remaining person's hair and face and continue the background; keep their features exactly as they are
  3. Check the side where they touched

    Zoom into the shoulder, arm, and hair on the side the other person stood — that is where any invented pixels sit. Then check the background for lines that should continue and for a stray shadow or hand left behind.

  4. Refine with a marker if needed

    If a hand on the shoulder or a sleeve edge survived, or the rebuilt shoulder looks off, tap a marker on that spot and repeat the instruction for just that area. A small second pass is normal on the touching side.

Quick answers

How do I remove a person from a couple photo?

Upload the photo and describe both people — 'remove the man in the yellow jacket on the right, continue the stone wall, keep the woman in the red coat exactly as she is.' The AI erases him and rebuilds the background in about 20-35 seconds, with nothing to trace or mark first.

Is it free to turn a couple photo into a solo photo?

Yes. You can remove a person from a couple photo free with one Fast edit per week, no signup or credit card required. Credit packs and a subscription are available if you have several photos or want to run a second pass.

Do I need to mark the area first?

No. Describe the person in words — where they stand and what they are wearing — and the AI finds them. Markers are optional: tap one on the person only if the description could apply to more than one figure, or the wrong area was changed the first time.

What if we had our arms around each other?

Then the shoulder or waist under the other person's arm was never photographed and has to be invented. It usually comes back close, not perfect — name the person who stays and ask to 'rebuild the shoulder, matching the coat', tap a marker on the arm, and expect a second pass on that side.

Will the person who stays look the same?

Yes, as long as you name them — 'keep the woman in the red coat exactly as she is.' The AI only touches the pixels it rebuilds. The one place to check is the side where the two of you touched; the rest should be pixel-for-pixel as shot. Whether it is after a breakup or simply to get a clean solo portrait, the edit is the same.

Can it remove someone's clothing instead of the whole person?

No. The tool removes people and objects from a scene and rebuilds the background behind them — it does not remove clothing from anyone, and requests like that are refused.

What photo formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. The edited photo downloads in the same format you uploaded, with the rebuilt background at the original resolution.
