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 pet. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Pet against simple background: 20-30 seconds. Complex scenes or pets overlapping with subjects: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'remove the dog and fill with the background' or 'erase the cat from the photo.' Be specific about which pet if multiple animals are present. No marking needed - the AI recognizes pets automatically.

    Tip: Describe what should fill the space: 'fill with matching floor tiles' or 'continue the grass pattern' for more realistic results.

    Real estate listing cleanup remove the pet for real estate photo, show empty floor space
    Try This →
    Specific pet in group remove only the black cat on the left, keep the other pets visible
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Check the area where the pet was. Verify the background is reconstructed seamlessly, floor or ground patterns match, and no pet remnants (fur, shadows, toys) remain.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If part of the pet remains or the background looks patchy, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. This is optional - most pet removals work without markers.

    Tip: Mark any pet accessories (toys, bowls, bed) separately if you want those removed too.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
  • After removing the pet, 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 pet before sharing on social media, printing, or gifting.

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the pet 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

Pet shadow or outline still visible after removal

Why: The AI removed the pet but left the shadow or color variation it created on the surface.

Try: remove the pet and any shadow or discoloration it left behind
Try This →

Tip: Pets often cast obvious shadows - mention shadow removal specifically.

Floor or background pattern looks patchy

Why: The AI had difficulty reconstructing continuous patterns where the pet was located.

Try: remove the pet and reconstruct the [floor type] pattern seamlessly
Try This →

Tip: Be specific about surface: 'hardwood planks,' 'carpet texture,' 'tile pattern' helps matching.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific pet you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Pet accessories like toys or bowls still visible

Why: The AI focused on removing the animal but not associated objects that weren't mentioned.

Try: remove the pet along with its toys, bowl, and bed from the photo
Try This →

Tip: List all pet-related items you want removed in your prompt.

Part of the pet still visible at edges

Why: Pets with similar coloring to backgrounds or those partially obscured may not be fully detected.

Try: Tap markers on remaining pet parts and regenerate: 'remove all traces of the pet'
Try This →

Tip: Zoom in to check edges carefully, especially tails and ears.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the pet before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove the dog' or 'erase the cat.' The AI recognizes pets automatically. Only use markers when multiple pets are present and you need to specify which one, or when parts remain after the first attempt.

Will the background look natural after removing the pet?

In most cases, yes. The AI reconstructs the surface behind the pet based on surrounding patterns. Simple, consistent backgrounds like floors, grass, or solid surfaces give the best results. Describe the surface type for better matching.

Can I remove multiple pets at once?

Yes! Use 'remove all pets' in your prompt. For photos with many animals, you may get better results removing them one at a time, especially if they're overlapping or in complex positions.

What about pet hair left on furniture?

Scattered pet hair is harder to detect than the pet itself. For best results, focus on removing the pet first. Light fur on fabric may blend into the reconstruction naturally, or you can run a second pass focusing on the specific area.

Is this useful for real estate photos?

Absolutely! Real estate agents commonly need pet-free photos for listings. Use prompts like 'remove the pet for real estate photo' to get clean, professional-looking spaces suitable for property listings.
