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

    Expect: Single stranger at edge: 15-20 seconds. Multiple people or complex scenes: may need refinement.
  2. Describe who to remove

    Type your instruction: 'remove the person on the right' or 'delete the stranger in the red shirt.' Use position and clothing to identify them. The AI understands 'stranger,' 'tourist,' and 'person in background.'

    Tip: Combine clothing color with position: 'the person in blue on the left' works better than just 'the person.'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Stranger at edge of frame remove the person on the right edge and fill with background
    Stranger identified by clothing remove the stranger in the yellow jacket behind us
    Background tourists remove all the tourists in the background, keep only us
    Walking passerby remove the person walking through the background
    1 more prompts
    Partial stranger (arm/leg) remove the arm reaching into frame on the left
  3. Review the result

    Check where the stranger was. Zoom in to verify the background fills naturally without artifacts or ghosting.

Quick answers

Can I remove multiple strangers at once?

Yes! Say 'remove all the strangers in the background' or 'remove everyone except us.' Complex scenes may need multiple passes.

What if the stranger is partially behind my subject?

It works but may need refinement.

Will blurry background people be removed?

Yes, actually easier. Blurry strangers don't need detailed reconstruction—the filled area matches the blur.
