How it works

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

Expect: Simple edits (one piece of trash on plain background): 10-20 seconds. Multiple items: may need 2-3 edits.
Describe what you want

Type your instruction: 'remove the bottle on the sand' or 'remove all litter from the grass.' Be specific about what trash and where. No marking needed—the AI understands descriptions like 'plastic wrapper on the left' or 'trash can in the corner.'

Tip: Mention what the trash is and where: 'remove the plastic bottle near the rock' works better than just 'remove trash.'

Review and download

The AI removes the trash and fills the background naturally. Check the area at full zoom to ensure it looks clean. Download your photo—no watermark.
Refine with markers if needed

If the AI missed some litter or you have scattered trash, tap markers on specific pieces and regenerate. This is optional—most single item removals work without markers.

Tip: Markers help with scattered litter. Try description-only first.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Professional Photography

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

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

📷

Real Estate & Property Listings

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

Common Scenarios

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

Best Practices

Shoot the space first, then edit — AI removal works better than awkward staging workarounds
After removing the trash, check that floor lines and wall edges still look straight
Process all listing photos in one session so lighting and style stay consistent

If something looks off

AI removed the wrong item or missed the trash

Why: The AI couldn't identify exactly which piece of trash you meant. This happens with small or camouflaged litter.

Try:

Tap a marker on the specific trash piece you want removed, then regenerate. Be more descriptive: 'remove the RED wrapper in the lower left corner.'

Try This →

Tip: Markers are essential for small or hard-to-see litter. Use color and position in your description.

Background looks patchy after trash removal

Why: The AI had to guess what surface was behind the trash. Complex textures are harder to reconstruct than uniform surfaces.

Try:

Try: 'remove trash and fill with smooth [surface type]' or use photos where trash is on uniform backgrounds like sand or grass.

Try This →

Tip: Trash on plain sand, grass, or smooth pavement works best.

Some litter remains after 'remove all' command

Why: Batch removal can miss small or scattered pieces, especially if they're different colors or positions.

Try: Do a second edit targeting remaining pieces: 'remove the wrapper on the right' or use markers on each piece.

Try This →

Tip: For scattered litter, individual removal often works better than batch commands.

Trash shadow or stain visible after removal

Why: The AI removed the trash but didn't detect associated marks like shadows or liquid stains.

Try:

Add to your prompt: 'remove the bottle including its shadow and stain' or do a follow-up edit: 'remove the dark stain on the ground.'

Try This →

Tip: Mention shadows and stains explicitly if they're visible in the original photo.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the trash before describing?

No! For most edits, just describe which trash to remove: 'remove the bottle on the sand' or 'remove the trash can in the corner.' The AI understands these descriptions. Only use markers when trash is small, scattered, or hard to see.

How do I remove trash from photos for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type which trash to remove (like 'remove the bottle on the left'), and the AI handles it in 10-20 seconds. Free to try with no signup or watermark. You get one free edit per day, or unlimited edits with a subscription.

Can I remove multiple pieces of litter at once?

Yes. Use 'remove all trash' or 'remove all litter from the scene' for batch removal. For best results with scattered items, remove them individually or use markers on each piece.

What types of trash can be removed?

Bottles, cans, wrappers, bags, cigarette butts, trash cans, bins, and any visible litter or debris. Works best when trash is clearly visible against the background.

Is EditThisPic's AI trash remover really free?

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

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

What photo formats does the AI trash remover support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
