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

    Expect: Simple removals (person at edge): 15-20 seconds. Complex scenes (overlapping people, busy backgrounds): may need 2-3 refinements.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'remove the person on the right' or 'remove the stranger behind us.' Be specific about which person if there are multiple people. No marking needed—the AI understands directional references like 'left,' 'right,' 'background.'

    Tip: Use color or clothing to specify: 'remove the person in the red jacket' works better than 'remove that person' when there are multiple photobombers.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Random tourist in landmark photo remove the person on the right and fill with the background
    Stranger walking through your shot remove the person in the background walking through the frame
    Photobomber at edge of frame remove the person at the far left edge and extend the scenery
    Multiple photobombers remove the stranger in the yellow shirt standing behind the group
    3 more prompts
    Person partially visible at edge remove the partial person visible on the right side of the frame
    Photobomber with complex background remove the person in front of the fountain and fill with fountain details
    Group photo with unwanted person remove the person standing at the end of the line on the right
  3. Generate and review

    Click Generate and the AI removes the photobomber while filling the area with matching background. Check edges at full zoom to ensure the fill looks natural and there are no remnants.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If you have multiple similar people and the AI removed the wrong one, tap a marker on the specific person you want removed and regenerate. This is optional—most edits work without markers.

    Tip: Markers are for specifying which of several similar people to remove. Try description alone first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

  • Save the original photo first — edit a copy so you can always go back
  • For group photos, mark the photobomber 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 or someone I wanted to keep

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which person you meant from description alone. This happens when multiple people look similar or the directional reference was ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the specific person you want removed, then regenerate with a simple prompt like 'remove this person'

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS person specifically.' Use them when you have multiple similar people in the frame.

Background fill looks blurry or doesn't match

Why: The AI didn't have enough visible background texture to reconstruct accurately. This happens when the photobomber covers a large or complex area.

Try: Try 'remove the person and fill with [specific background detail]' like 'fill with ocean waves' or 'fill with brick wall texture'

Tip: Being specific about what should replace them helps the AI choose the right fill pattern.

Person's shadow or reflection remains visible

Why: The AI focused on removing the person but didn't recognize the shadow or reflection as part of what to remove.

Try: Use a second edit: 'remove the shadow on the ground' or add to your original prompt: 'remove the person and their shadow'

Tip: For complex removals, mention all elements: 'remove the person, their shadow, and their reflection.'

Edges around the removal area look unnatural

Why: The AI's background fill blended poorly with surrounding textures, often due to lighting differences or complex patterns.

Try: Regenerate and add 'blend edges naturally' to your prompt, or use markers to specify problem edge areas for refinement

Tip: Photos with simple, consistent backgrounds (sky, grass, walls) remove more cleanly than busy or textured backgrounds.

Only part of the person was removed

Why: The AI interpreted your instruction as referring to only the visible part of the person, or the person was partially obscured.

Try: Try 'completely remove the entire person including any parts behind objects' or mark the entire person area with multiple markers

Tip: If someone is partially hidden, the AI may only remove the visible part. Be explicit about removing all of them.

AI says it can't find the person to remove

Why: Your description was too vague or the person isn't clearly separated from the background or other people.

Try: Use more specific details: clothing color, position, or what they're doing. Or place a marker directly on them.

Tip: The more specific you are, the better: 'remove the woman in the blue dress on the left' beats 'remove that person.'

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the photobomber before describing?

No! Just describe which person to remove: 'remove the person on the right' or 'remove the stranger in the red jacket.' The AI understands directional references and descriptions. Only use markers when you have multiple similar people and need to specify exactly which one.

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

Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type 'remove the person on the [left/right/background]' and the AI removes them in 15-30 seconds. Free to use with no signup or watermark. Works on travel photos, group shots, and landmarks.

Can it remove multiple photobombers at once?

Yes, but it's more reliable to remove them one at a time. Start with the easiest one (clearest separation, simplest background), download that result, then remove the next person from the cleaned image. This gives you more control over the results.

What if the photobomber is standing right next to my subject?

If they're overlapping or very close, use a marker to tap on the photobomber. This tells the AI exactly who to remove. The AI will try to reconstruct the obscured parts of your subject, but results are best when people are clearly separated.

Will it remove the person's shadow and reflection too?

Not automatically. If you need the shadow or reflection removed, include it in your prompt: 'remove the person and their shadow' or do a second edit specifically for the shadow: 'remove the shadow on the ground.'

Is EditThisPic's AI photobomber remover really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I remove photobomber on my phone?

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