"Had this amazing candid from the coffee shop but random people kept photobombing. Typed 'remove the people behind me' and now it looks like a real moment. Got a Crush from someone I'd seen at that exact spot." @CityWalkerJen
Built for Happn Users
Happn is about the serendipity of crossing paths. Your photos should capture that urban lifestyle—the coffee shop you frequent, the street corner where you walk your dog, the park where you jog. But city life means crowds. EditThisPic removes the random strangers, cleans up busy backgrounds, and preserves the authentic candid feel that makes someone think 'I'd love to run into them again.'

How to Edit Your Happn Photos
-
Upload your photo
Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. That candid from your favorite coffee spot, the street portrait with too many passersby, the neighborhood walk photo with crowds.
Simple lighting fixes: 15-20 seconds. Removing multiple strangers from busy scenes: may need 2-3 passes. -
Describe what you want
Type your instruction: 'remove the people walking behind me and keep the street scene' or 'enhance the cafe lighting to be warmer and more inviting.' Be specific about what needs fixing while preserving the authentic urban vibe.
For crowded scenes, try 'keep only me in the photo' or specify by clothing: 'remove the person in the yellow jacket.' -
Generate and review
Tap generate and check that the urban backdrop looks natural, not empty. The goal is a candid lifestyle shot, not a studio photo. Make sure buildings, streets, and settings still feel authentic.
Zoom in on areas where people were removed. The city backdrop should look like a quiet moment, not an abandoned street. -
Refine with markers if needed
If the AI removed the wrong person or left someone in, tap markers on the specific individuals and regenerate. Markers help when there are many people and position descriptions get confusing.
Markers are optional but helpful for busy street scenes. Use them when 'the person on the left' isn't specific enough.
Copy-Paste Prompts for Happn
remove all the strangers walking in the background and fill with the street scene naturally, keep me and the urban vibe exactly the same
Specifying 'keep the urban vibe' ensures the AI preserves the authentic city atmosphere.
enhance the lighting to be softer and more flattering, reduce the harsh sunlight shadows on my face while keeping the outdoor urban feel
Midday sun creates unflattering shadows. This preserves the outdoor look while fixing the lighting.
remove the other customers visible behind me, keep the cafe interior and warm lighting
Coffee shop photos are perfect for Happn. Removing others makes it feel like a personal moment.
add subtle background blur to create depth and make me the focus, keep the city buildings and street visible but softened
Blur adds a professional feel while keeping the location recognizable—perfect for Happn's local vibe.

Real Happn Photo Transformations
Crowded street corner cleaned up
Perfect candid on a busy city sidewalk, but random pedestrians made it chaotic. One prompt cleared the crowd while keeping the authentic urban backdrop.
remove all the strangers walking behind me and fill with the city street naturally, keep me and the urban vibe
Coffee shop background cleared
Great cafe photo showing personality and local vibes, but other customers in frame made it feel less personal. Removed them while keeping the warm interior.
remove the other people sitting at tables behind me, keep the coffee shop interior and cozy lighting
Harsh street lighting enhanced
Great location but midday sun created unflattering shadows. Enhanced to look naturally lit while keeping the outdoor urban setting.
enhance the lighting to be softer and more flattering, reduce the harsh shadows on my face while keeping the outdoor urban feel
When Things Go Wrong
AI changed the wrong area or removed the wrong person
Why: In crowded scenes, the AI couldn't determine which strangers you meant. Position descriptions like 'behind me' can include many people.
Tap markers on the specific people you want to remove, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THESE people specifically.' Essential for busy urban scenes.
Background looks empty and unnatural after removing crowd
Why: The AI removed too many people, making the busy city street look abandoned.
keep one or two people far in the distance for natural urban scale, remove only the obvious photobombers
A truly empty city street looks fake. Leave a few distant figures for authenticity.
Urban buildings or landmarks got distorted
Why: The AI changed the architecture while filling in where people were standing.
remove only the people, keep all buildings, signs, and street elements exactly as they are
Be explicit about preserving landmarks. Happn users might recognize the location.
Lighting enhancement lost the outdoor urban feel
Why: The AI brightened too much, making it look like studio lighting instead of street photography.
enhance lighting subtly, just reduce harsh shadows while keeping the natural outdoor urban atmosphere
Add 'outdoor' and 'natural' to keep that authentic candid street vibe.
Coffee shop vibe got lost when removing customers
Why: The AI filled the space with generic elements instead of maintaining the cafe atmosphere.
remove the people but keep all the coffee shop elements like tables, chairs, and decor visible
Specify keeping furniture and decor so the setting stays recognizable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark each stranger before removing them?
No! For most scenes, just describe what you want: 'remove the strangers in the background' or 'keep only me in the photo.' The AI understands. Only use markers in very crowded scenes where you need to specify exactly who stays and who goes.
Will my Happn photos still look authentic after editing?
Yes, if you edit thoughtfully. The goal is to clean up distractions, not create fake scenarios. Keep the urban backdrop, the natural lighting style, and the candid feel. Remove random strangers, don't add fake backgrounds. Your matches might recognize the location.
What makes a good Happn photo to edit?
Photos that capture your lifestyle and the places you actually go. That coffee shop candid, the street corner near your apartment, the park where you walk. These work because Happn is about real proximity—your photos should show authentic local moments.
How do I keep the urban vibe when removing crowds?
Ask the AI to 'keep the urban setting' or 'preserve the city atmosphere.' Leave one or two distant figures if the street looks too empty. The goal is a quiet moment in the city, not an abandoned movie set.
Can I use photos from my neighborhood without people recognizing me?
That's actually a feature on Happn, not a bug. Photos from your local spots increase relevance when you cross paths with people who frequent the same places. Just make sure you look good and the photo quality is high.
Does this work for other location-based dating apps?
Yes. EditThisPic works on any photo. The same techniques for cleaning up urban candids, enhancing street lighting, and removing crowds apply to any dating app or social profile.
