How it works

  1. Upload your car photo

    Drop your vehicle photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with any angle - exterior, interior, engine bay, or detail shots.

    Expect: Simple edits like plate blur: 15-20 seconds. Background replacement: 20-30 seconds. Multiple enhancements may need separate prompts.
  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'replace background with clean showroom' or 'blur the license plate' or 'remove the reflections on the hood.' Be specific about what needs fixing. The AI understands car photography terminology.

    Tip: For dealer-quality results, mention lighting: 'replace background with white studio backdrop with soft professional lighting'

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Parking lot to showroom replace the background with a clean white car showroom with soft professional lighting
    License plate privacy blur the license plate completely so no characters are readable
    Hood and paint reflections remove the distracting reflections on the hood and paint, keep it glossy but clean
    Dark interior enhancement brighten the car interior naturally, enhance the details without overexposing
    4 more prompts
    Screen glare removal remove the reflections and glare from the infotainment screen
    Background distractions remove the other cars and clutter from the background, make it a clean simple backdrop
    Full dealer treatment replace background with showroom, blur the plate, and remove all reflections for a professional dealer listing
    Neutral background swap replace the messy background with a clean neutral gray gradient backdrop
  3. Review the result

    Check that the edit looks natural. For background replacements, verify the car's edges blend smoothly. For plate blurs, ensure no characters are readable. Zoom in on reflections to confirm they're cleaned.

  4. Refine with markers if needed

    If the AI missed a spot or edited the wrong area, tap a marker on the specific location and regenerate. Useful for stubborn reflections or when multiple similar objects exist.

    Tip: For interior shots, markers help identify specific areas like a stain on a seat or scratch on trim.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or edited the car itself

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Background replacement looks unrealistic or has weird edges

Why: Complex car shapes like mirrors and antennas can be tricky to cut out cleanly.

Try: Tap markers on the problem edge areas and try 'clean up the edges around the car, make them blend naturally'

Tip: Zooming in before placing markers helps you target the exact problem spots.

Reflections on hood weren't fully removed

Why: The AI preserved some reflection to maintain the glossy look, or missed subtle reflections.

Try: remove ALL reflections from the hood completely, I want it perfectly clean

Tip: Being explicit with 'ALL' and 'completely' tells the AI to be more thorough.

Interior still looks dark after brightening

Why: The original photo may have been too underexposed for a single pass.

Try: brighten the interior significantly, increase exposure and bring out the shadow details

Tip: For very dark interiors, try 'dramatically brighten' to push the edit further.

New background doesn't match the car's lighting

Why: The car was lit from a different direction than the showroom background implies.

Try: replace background with showroom that matches the lighting direction on the car

Tip: Mentioning 'matching lighting' helps the AI choose or generate an appropriate background.

License plate blur is too weak

Why: The default blur may not be strong enough for full privacy compliance.

Try: blur the license plate with heavy pixelation, make all characters completely unreadable

Tip: Zoom to 200% and verify no characters can be guessed even when enlarged.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the car before replacing the background?

No! Just type 'replace the background with showroom' and the AI automatically identifies the car and replaces only the background. The AI understands car shapes. Markers are only needed if edges need refinement after your first attempt.

How do I make my car photos look like dealer photos?

Type 'replace background with clean white showroom with professional lighting' - this gives you that dealer website look instantly. You can also add 'blur the license plate' and 'remove reflections' in the same prompt for the full treatment.

Should I blur my license plate when selling a car online?

Yes, it's strongly recommended. License plates can be used to look up registration info or track you. Most experienced sellers blur plates on Marketplace, Craigslist, and similar platforms. EditThisPic makes this instant - just type 'blur the license plate.'

Can I edit multiple things in one photo?

Yes! You can combine requests: 'replace background with showroom, blur the plate, and remove the reflections on the hood' all works in one prompt. The AI handles each part of your request.

What's the best way to photograph a car before editing?

Shoot in soft, even light (overcast days or shade work well). Get multiple angles - front 3/4, rear 3/4, sides, and interior. Even imperfect photos can be dramatically improved, but starting with decent lighting makes AI edits look more natural.

How do I remove reflections without making paint look flat?

Specify 'remove reflections but keep the paint glossy' or 'clean up reflections while maintaining shine.' The AI understands you want to remove distracting reflections but preserve the natural glossy appearance of automotive paint.

Will it work on dark interior photos?

Yes. Type 'brighten the interior naturally' and the AI increases exposure while preserving detail. For very dark photos, try 'significantly brighten' or 'enhance interior lighting.' The AI won't blow out highlights or create that fake HDR look.

Can I use this for car dealership inventory?

Absolutely. Many dealers use EditThisPic to standardize lot photos into professional listings. Process each car with the same prompt ('replace background with showroom, blur plate') for consistent inventory presentation across your website.

Is there a free car photo editor that works without login?

Yes - EditThisPic is free to try with no signup required. Just upload your photo, describe what you want, and download the result. No watermarks on your edited photos. Perfect for quick listing edits without creating yet another account.

Can I remove other cars from the background?

Yes. Type 'remove the other cars from the background' and the AI replaces them with appropriate background content. Works great for car meet photos where you want your car to be the focus without distracting vehicles.
