How it works

  1. Upload your image

    Upload the image containing the person you want removed. Screenshots, scanned documents, downloaded images, and photos all work. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. The AI handles any source type.

    Expect: Simple backgrounds: the fill is seamless in 20-30 seconds. Busy or patterned backgrounds: 40-50 seconds; may benefit from one refinement pass.
  2. Describe which person to remove

    Type exactly which person you want removed: 'remove the person on the left,' 'erase the figure in the background,' or 'delete the person standing near the right edge.' No marking needed — the AI understands positional and descriptive references.

    Tip: Be specific about position: 'the person in the top-right corner' or 'the figure in the background behind the desk' gives the AI a clear target.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Person on one side of the frame remove the person standing on the far left side of the image and fill the background naturally
    Background figure in a scene erase the person standing in the background and continue the background behind them naturally
    Multiple people, remove one remove only the person on the right side, keep everyone else in the image unchanged
    Screenshot with person in frame remove the person visible in the background of this screenshot and fill with the wall behind them
    3 more prompts
    Person near the edge remove the person near the right edge of the image, extend the background to fill the gap
    Full figure on plain background delete the person standing in the center and fill the area with a clean continuation of the background
    Person partially behind an object remove the person partially behind the car on the left, reconstruct whatever was behind them
  3. Review the fill

    Check that the background fills naturally where the person was. Look for edge blending, consistent texture, and no ghosting artifacts. For complex backgrounds, zoom in to verify the fill quality.

  4. Refine if needed (optional)

    If the fill shows artifacts, describe what you want fixed: 'clean up the background where the person was, match the floor texture.' You can also mark the exact area using the brush tool for precise re-generation.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark or select the person before removing them?

No. Just describe which person you want removed: 'remove the person on the left' or 'erase the figure in the background.' EditThisPic's AI understands positional and descriptive references — no selection tools or brushing required. Marking is optional and only needed when the description alone isn't precise enough.

How do I remove a person from an image for free?

Upload your image to EditThisPic and describe who to remove: 'remove the person on the right side' or 'erase the figure in the background.' The AI removes them and fills the background in about 30 seconds. Free to try, no account required, no watermark on the result. Works on any device in a browser.

Does it work on screenshots and downloaded images, not just photos?

Yes. EditThisPic processes any image file — screenshots, scanned documents, downloaded images, product photos, or camera shots. The AI doesn't require the file to come from a specific source. Upload it as a JPG, PNG, or WebP file and it works the same way.

What happens to the area where the person was?

The AI fills the gap with realistic background content. For simple backgrounds like walls or floors, the fill is usually seamless. For busier scenes, it reconstructs the most plausible continuation of the background. You can guide the fill with your prompt: 'fill with the concrete floor' or 'continue the brick wall pattern.'

Can I remove just one person from an image with multiple people?

Yes. Specify which one: 'remove only the person on the far left, keep everyone else unchanged.' The 'keep everyone else unchanged' instruction is important — it tells the AI not to re-interpret nearby subjects when reconstructing the background.
