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

    Expect: Few tourists on simple backgrounds: 20-30 seconds. Crowded scenes with complex architecture or patterns: may need 2-4 refinements for perfect results.
  2. Describe who to remove

    Type your instruction: 'remove all the tourists in the background and restore the landmark' or 'remove the people walking through the shot and show the empty plaza.' Be specific about keeping your travel companions if needed. No marking required - the AI understands what 'tourists' and 'people in background' mean.

    Tip: Add 'keep the person in the blue dress in the center' or similar to preserve your travel companions while removing all strangers.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Clear all tourists from famous landmark remove all the tourists and people in the background and restore the landmark architecture naturally
    Keep travel companion while removing strangers remove all the strangers in the background but keep the person in the center wearing the red jacket untouched
    Beach or coastal scene cleanup remove all the tourists on the beach and in the water, restore the sand and ocean naturally
    Museum or gallery interior remove all the visitors walking through the museum and restore the marble floor pattern and gallery walls
    4 more prompts
    Crowded plaza or public square remove all the people from the plaza and show the empty cobblestone square with the surrounding buildings
    Scenic overlook or viewpoint remove the tourists blocking the view and restore the natural landscape and horizon behind them
    Partial cleanup - specific area only remove only the tourists on the left side of the frame, keep the right side exactly as it is
    Temple, church, or religious site interior remove all the visitors from inside the temple and restore the stone floor and architectural details
  3. Generate and review

    Check that all unwanted people are removed and the background looks natural. Zoom in to verify architectural details, floor patterns, and landscape elements are properly reconstructed. Pay attention to shadows and reflections.

  4. Process in stages for heavy crowds

    For extremely crowded photos, work in stages. First remove the most prominent people, then address remaining figures in a second pass. This gives better background reconstruction than trying to remove everyone at once.

    Tip: Start with 'remove the tourists in the foreground first' then 'now remove the remaining people in the background' for complex scenes.

Quick answers

Can I keep some people while removing others?

Yes, this is a common need. Describe who to keep specifically: 'remove all strangers but keep the woman in the blue dress in the center' or 'clear tourists but preserve the couple on the left.' Be specific about clothing colors, positions, or other distinguishing features so the AI knows exactly who to preserve.

How does it handle complex backgrounds like famous architecture?

The AI reconstructs architectural details, floor patterns, and landscape elements based on visible portions of the image. For famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or Colosseum, it often 'knows' the typical appearance from training. Complex repeating patterns may need refinement passes.

Will this work on extremely crowded photos with dozens of people?

Yes, but heavily crowded scenes work best when processed in stages. The AI performs better when some background is visible between people. Start with 'remove tourists in the foreground' then 'remove remaining people in background' for optimal reconstruction quality.

What about shadows and reflections cast by the tourists?

The AI typically removes shadows along with the people. If shadows remain, include 'and their shadows' in your prompt or mark the shadow areas for a second pass. Reflections in windows, water, or glass may need separate mention: 'remove tourists and their reflections.'

Does it work better on certain types of landmarks or locations?

The tool works on all locations but performs best when some background is visible between tourists. Outdoor landmarks with sky backgrounds, beaches with sand and water, and museums with visible floor patterns all reconstruct well. Very tight crowds with no visible background may need multiple passes.
