Common Issues

The fix changed areas you didn't want changed

Why: AI sometimes applies edits too broadly across the image

Try: only fix the specific area I marked, leave everything else untouched

Try This →

Use tap markers to precisely indicate the area that needs fixing

Edit looks artificial or over-processed

Why: AI sometimes overdoes corrections, making results look fake

Try: make the correction look subtle and natural, not over-processed

Try This →

Adding 'subtle and natural' to any prompt reduces AI over-correction

Colors shifted after the fix

Why: Brightness or exposure corrections can inadvertently shift color balance

Try: fix the issue but preserve the original color tones throughout

Try This →

Mention 'preserve original colors' when you only want one specific thing fixed

Fix worked on some areas but missed others

Why: AI focuses on the most prominent area and may skip smaller ones

Try: apply the same fix to all affected areas, not just the main one

Try This →

For missed areas, do a second pass with a marker on the specific spot

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better — blur or replace?

Blur is faster, more reliable, and always looks natural. Replacement looks better when it works but is more complex. For quick social media saves, blur is the safest choice. For important photos, try replacement with Smart mode.

Can it remove specific items without changing the whole background?

Yes. Try 'remove the laundry basket and water bottles from the background' to target specific embarrassing items while keeping the rest of the room visible.

What about mirror selfie backgrounds?

Mirror selfies are trickier because the 'background' is a reflection. The AI can still blur or replace what's visible in the mirror.

Is this really free?

Yes — 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.

Can I fix selfie backgrounds on my phone?

Yes. Works in any mobile browser. No app needed.
