How it works

  1. Upload your photo

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

    Expect: Person at edge of frame: 15-20 seconds. Person in middle of group: may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Mark the person to remove

    Tap or click on the person you want removed. A marker appears showing the AI exactly who you mean. No need to outline them precisely - just tap their head, body, or anywhere on them.

    Tip: For single-person photos, you can skip marking and just describe. But for groups, marking is faster and more accurate than describing.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Marked person, any background remove the marked person and fill with natural background
    Single person (no marking needed) remove the person and extend the background naturally
    Beach/outdoor scene remove the marked person and extend the beach and ocean
    Person with shadow remove the marked person and their shadow, fill with ground
    6 more prompts
    Multiple people to remove remove all marked people and show the empty background
    Photobomber in background remove the marked photobomber and show the clear landmark
    Ex from group photo remove only the marked person from this group photo, keep everyone else exactly the same, and close the gap naturally
    Person blocking a landmark remove the marked person standing in front of the building and reveal the full architecture behind them
    Person at edge of photo remove the person at the right edge of the photo and extend the background seamlessly
    Remove person and their reflection remove the marked person, their shadow on the ground, and their reflection in the window
  3. Describe what to fill

    Tell the AI what should appear where the person was: 'remove and fill with beach,' 'remove and extend the grass,' or just 'remove and fill naturally.' The AI reconstructs the background based on surrounding context.

    Tip: Be specific about the background: 'fill with ocean' works better than just 'remove person.'
  4. Review and refine

    Check that the person is fully removed and the background looks natural. If shadows, reflections, or edges remain, describe what to fix or tap a marker on the leftover area.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

πŸ’”

Removing Ex-Partners from Photos

Keep the memory, lose the person. Remove ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, or former spouses from photos you want to keep.

Common Scenarios

  • Wedding photos where you want to keep the dress/venue but not the groom
  • Vacation photos from trips you took together
  • Holiday photos with family that include your ex
  • Social media photos you want to repost

Best Practices

  • Mark the ex specifically - don't try to describe 'the man on the left'
  • For wedding photos, describe 'fill with background flowers' or 'extend the venue wall'
  • Process photos in batches - the AI learns what background looks like after the first few
  • If shadows remain, run a second edit specifically targeting 'remove the remaining shadow'
Ex in group photo remove the marked person and fill with natural background, keeping everyone else exactly as they are
Ex in vacation photo remove the person on the right and extend the beach and ocean to fill the space
πŸ‘€

Removing Strangers from Travel Photos

Clean up your vacation photos by removing tourists, locals, or anyone who walked into your shot.

Common Scenarios

  • Tourists at famous landmarks blocking your view
  • Random people walking through your beach photo
  • Crowds in the background of street photography
  • Passersby in front of architecture shots

Best Practices

  • For single strangers, tap once on them and describe 'remove person'
  • For multiple people, mark each one then use 'remove all marked people'
  • Describe the landmark or scene to help the AI fill accurately
  • Works best when the background behind the stranger is simple or repetitive
Tourist at landmark remove the marked person and show the clear landmark behind them
Crowded beach shot remove all marked people and show the empty beach at sunset
πŸ™…

Removing Photobombers

Someone jumped into your shot at the last second? Remove them and save your photo.

Common Scenarios

  • Wedding ceremony crashers
  • Friends making silly faces behind you
  • Strangers who walked into frame during a posed shot
  • Kids running through the background

Best Practices

  • Mark the photobomber even if they're small - it helps the AI focus
  • Describe the scene so the AI knows what to fill with
  • If they're partially visible at the edge, describe 'extend the background'
  • Works on both intentional photobombers and accidental walk-throughs
Wedding photobomb remove the marked photobomber and fill with the wedding venue background
Friend photobomb remove the person making a face behind us and show the clear sky
πŸ‘₯

Removing People from Group Photos

Remove one person from a group while keeping everyone else perfectly intact.

Common Scenarios

  • Family photos with someone you're no longer in contact with
  • Work team photos after someone leaves the company
  • Friend group photos after a falling out
  • Event photos with unwanted guests

Best Practices

  • Always mark the person - describing 'third from left' is error-prone
  • If people are close together, the AI may need multiple attempts
  • Expect the group to look slightly closer together after removal
  • For people in the middle, describe 'close the gap naturally'
Person in middle of group remove only the marked person, keep everyone else exactly the same, close the gap naturally
Person at edge of group remove the marked person at the end and extend the background

If something looks off

Background fill looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI didn't have enough context from surrounding pixels to reconstruct that area.

Try: make the background where the person was look more natural and match the surroundings

Tip: Describe the specific texture: 'match the grass pattern' or 'continue the brick wall texture'

Person's shadow or reflection still visible

Why: The AI focused on the person's body but shadows and reflections are separate elements.

Try: remove the remaining shadow on the ground and fill with natural surface

Tip: Include shadows upfront: 'remove the marked person AND their shadow'

Part of the person still visible (arm, leg, edge)

Why: Complex poses or occlusion made it hard for AI to detect the full body boundary.

Try: remove the remaining arm/leg and fill with background

Tip: Tap a new marker on the remaining part for precision removal

Removed person left a weird color patch

Why: The inpainting algorithm struggled with that specific area's texture or lighting.

Try: fix the discolored patch and blend it with surrounding area

Tip: Regenerating sometimes gives better results - AI uses different random seeds

Marker not appearing when I tap

Why: You may be in text-only mode or the tap didn't register.

Try: Tap again on the person, then enter your prompt

Tip: Markers appear as colored dots - make sure you see one before submitting

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the person or can I just describe them?

For single-person photos, describing works fine: 'remove the person.' For groups, marking is better. Trying to describe 'the man in blue second from left' is error-prone - the AI might pick the wrong person. Tapping to mark them takes one second and is always accurate.

Can I remove my ex from photos?

Yes, and this is one of the most common uses. Upload the photo, tap on your ex, and type 'remove and fill with natural background.' The AI will reconstruct what was behind them - beach, venue, grass, whatever. You keep the memory without keeping the person. Many users process dozens of photos in one sitting.

How do I remove someone from a group photo?

Tap the specific person you want removed (don't try to describe their position), then type 'remove and close the gap naturally.' For people at the edges, 'remove and extend the background' works better. The AI keeps everyone else exactly as they are - only the marked person disappears.

Will the background look natural after removal?

Yes, in most cases. The AI analyzes the surrounding area and intelligently reconstructs what should be there. Beach becomes more beach. Grass extends naturally. Walls continue their pattern. For best results, describe what you want the fill to look like: 'fill with ocean' rather than just 'remove person.'

Can I remove multiple people at once?

Yes. Place a marker on each person you want removed, then say 'remove all marked people.' For complex scenes with many people, removing them one at a time sometimes gives cleaner results since the AI can focus on each fill area individually.

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

Yes. EditThisPic removes people from photos for free with no account or login needed. Upload your photo, mark the person, describe the fill, and download the result. One free edit per week, credit packs from $1.99 for more.

How does AI know what to fill in?

The AI looks at pixels surrounding the removed area and uses that context to reconstruct the missing region. If you're at a beach, it extends the sand and water. If you're in front of a wall, it continues the wall pattern. The more consistent and simple the background, the better the fill looks.

Does this work on crowded photos?

It can, but crowded scenes are more challenging. The AI needs enough surrounding context to reconstruct the removed area. For a single person in a crowd, mark them specifically. For removing many people, process them one at a time. Expect some refinement may be needed.

What is the best free AI tool for removing people from photos?

EditThisPic removes people with one tap and a prompt, no Photoshop skills needed. Unlike manual clone stamp tools that take years to master, the AI handles selection, removal, and background reconstruction automatically. Free to try in any browser, no account required.

Can I do this on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser - no app download required. Upload from your camera roll, tap to mark the person, type your prompt, and save the result right back to your phone. The experience is optimized for touch screens.

Will I lose image quality?

The edited area will match the quality of your original photo. EditThisPic doesn't compress or reduce resolution. If you upload a 4000x3000 photo, you'll download a 4000x3000 result. The only change is the removed person being replaced with generated background.

Are my photos stored or shared?

Photos are processed in real-time and not stored permanently unless you choose to save them to your account. We don't share or use your photos for training. Uploaded images are automatically deleted after processing. See our privacy policy for full details.

How do I remove an ex from wedding photos without ruining the rest?

Upload the wedding photo, tap on your ex to place a marker, then type 'remove the marked person and fill with the venue background, keep everyone else exactly the same.' The AI removes only the marked person and reconstructs the background behind them. For photos where the ex's arm is around someone, do a second edit to clean up the remaining arm.

Can I remove multiple strangers from a travel photo at once?

Yes. Place a marker on each person you want removed, then type 'remove all marked people and show the clear landmark background.' For complex scenes with many tourists, removing them one or two at a time sometimes gives cleaner results since the AI can focus on each fill area individually.
