How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a photo where the unwanted element is clearly visible. The AI needs to see surrounding context to fill in naturally after person. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Single person at edge of frame: 20-30 seconds. Person in complex scene: 30-45 seconds and may need refinement for the filled area.

  2. Describe who to remove

    If there's one obvious person to remove, just describe them: 'remove the person in the red jacket on the right.' For groups, tap a marker on the specific person first, then type 'remove this person and fill the background.' The AI understands who you mean from description or marker.

    Tip: Use distinguishing features: 'the tall person in blue on the left' is more precise than just 'remove the person.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Remove photobomber from background remove the person in the background and fill with the scenery behind them
    Try This →
    Remove stranger from group edge remove the person on the far right side of the photo and fill with the background behind them
    Try This →
    Remove ex from photo remove the person on the left end of the group, fill with the background that would be behind them
    Try This →
    Remove tourist from landmark shot remove all the tourists and strangers from this photo, show just the landmark with clean surroundings
    Try This →

    Remove person from wedding photo remove the person at the far end of the lineup, close the gap naturally between remaining people
    Try This →
    Remove person walking through shot remove the walking person who is blurred in the foreground and restore the scene behind them
    Try This →

  3. Review the removal

    Check that the person is completely gone and the filled area looks natural. Verify that no body parts, shadows, or reflections remain. The background should flow seamlessly where they were standing.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If remnants like shadows, reflections, or partial limbs remain, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Also useful if the filled background needs adjustment.

    Tip: Markers are especially important for person removal in groups—always tap the specific person to avoid removing the wrong one.

"Had the perfect family photo from our reunion except a random stranger walked into the background. Tapped on him, typed 'remove this person' and he was gone. The background filled in perfectly." @FamilyFirst_Rachel

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the person, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
  • Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent
📷

Personal & Social Media

Fix personal photos by removing person before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

  • Vacation photos where the person appeared in an otherwise perfect shot
  • Family photos with person that distract from the people in the frame
  • Profile pictures and dating app photos that need the person cleaned out

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the person carefully to avoid affecting nearby people
  • If the first result isn't perfect, try rewording your prompt with more detail about the background

If something looks off

AI removed the wrong person

Why: The description was ambiguous or matched multiple people in the photo. This is common in groups.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific person you want removed, then regenerate: remove this marked person
Try This →

Tip: Markers are the most reliable way to specify a person in a group. Always tap before typing for multi-person photos.

Person's shadow or reflection still visible after removal

Why: The AI treated the person and their shadow as separate elements, only removing the person's body.

Try: remove the person and also remove their shadow on the ground and any reflection
Try This →

Tip: Always mention 'and their shadow' when removing people in sunny conditions or near reflective surfaces.

Gap or blank space where the person was in a group

Why: The AI removed the person but didn't adjust the spacing, leaving an obvious hole in the group arrangement.

Try: remove the person and close the gap between the remaining people so the group looks natural
Try This →

Tip: 'Close the gap' works best for people at the edges. For someone in the middle of a group, you may need 2-3 passes.

Background fill looks wrong or has artifacts

Why: The area behind the person was complex (detailed architecture, multiple overlapping elements) and the AI couldn't reconstruct it accurately.

Try: Tap markers on the artifacts in the filled area and regenerate: fix these areas to match the surrounding background
Try This →

Tip: Complex backgrounds may need a second targeted pass—remove the person first, then fix the fill in a separate step.

Part of another person was accidentally removed

Why: Overlapping people make it hard for the AI to determine boundaries, especially when arms or clothing overlap.

Try: remove only the person in [color/position], preserve everyone else completely including overlapping areas
Try This →

Tip: For overlapping subjects, be very specific: 'only remove the person in the red jacket, keep the person in blue intact.'

Quick answers

Do I need to outline the person before removing them?

No! For a single person or obvious photobomber, just describe them: 'remove the person on the right.' For groups with multiple people, tap a marker on the specific person—this is more precise than outlining. No cutting, no lasso tool, no manual selection.

How do I remove a person from a photo for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove the person on the [location]' or tap a marker on them. The AI erases them and fills the background in 25-35 seconds. Works on photobombers, strangers, and groups. Free to use, no account required, no watermarks.

Is there a free AI person remover that doesn't require login?

Yes, EditThisPic removes people from photos for free with no account needed. Upload your image, identify who to remove, and download the result. No watermarks on outputs. Handles single people, photobombers, and group adjustments.

Can I remove someone from the middle of a group photo?

Yes, though people at the edges are easier to remove cleanly. For someone in the middle, tap a marker on them and type 'remove this person and close the gap.' The AI fills the space and adjusts the composition. Very tight groups may need 2-3 refinement passes.

Can I remove person on my phone?

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

What photo formats does the AI person remover support?

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

How long does it take to remove person?

Usually 15-30 seconds. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and the AI delivers the result.

Do I need to create an account to remove person?

No. You can try your first edit without signing up. An account is only needed to save edits and manage a subscription.
