Frequently Asked Questions About AI Photo Removal
What can I remove from photos?
Almost anything: people, objects, backgrounds, skin blemishes, text, watermarks, power lines, shadows, reflections, fences, glare, scratches, noise, and more. If you can describe it, the AI can likely remove it and fill the space intelligently. EditThisPic has 40+ specialized removal tools covering every category.
How do I remove an object from a photo?
Upload your photo, then describe what to remove and what should replace it. For example: 'remove the trash can and extend the grass.' The AI understands your image context and fills the space naturally. For precision, tap a marker on the object first. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.
Can I erase or delete things instead of 'removing' them?
Yes — the AI understands all variations. Whether you say 'remove,' 'erase,' 'delete,' 'get rid of,' or 'clean up,' it performs the same action: intelligently removing the element and reconstructing what should be behind it.
Can I remove an ex from a wedding photo?
Absolutely. This is one of the most popular use cases. Upload the photo and describe the removal: 'remove the person on the right and extend the background.' The AI fills in the space naturally. For group photos, use a marker to tap on the specific person you want removed.
Will the result look natural?
In most cases, yes. The AI reconstructs textures, lighting, and perspective based on the surrounding context. Simple backgrounds (sky, grass, walls) produce near-perfect results. Complex scenes with detailed patterns may occasionally need a second pass to refine edges. Always zoom in to check the result at full resolution.
Does it handle complex backgrounds?
Yes. The AI understands scene depth, perspective, and repeating patterns. It can reconstruct complex textures like brick walls, foliage, crowds, and architectural details. For the best results on complex backgrounds, be specific in your prompt about what should fill the space.
Is this better than Photoshop for removing things?
For most everyday removals, AI produces comparable or better results in seconds versus the 15-30 minutes manual editing takes in Photoshop. You don't need to learn selection tools, layer masks, or clone stamping. Professional retouchers working on high-end commercial shoots may still prefer Photoshop's manual control, but for personal photos, social media, real estate, and e-commerce, AI removal is faster and easier.
Do I need to download an app?
No. EditThisPic works entirely in your browser — no app download, no software installation. It works on any device: desktop, tablet, or phone. Just open the website, upload your photo, and start editing.
Is it really free?
Yes. You get free edits every week with no signup required. There are no hidden fees, no watermarks on your results, and no account needed to start. Power users who need more edits can purchase credit packs or a subscription.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can start removing things from photos immediately — no signup, no email, no password. Creating an optional account lets you save your editing history and purchase additional credits, but it's not required.
Can I remove people from a group photo?
Yes. For group photos, use a marker to tap on the specific person you want removed. This tells the AI exactly who to target without affecting others in the group. You can also describe their position: 'remove the person in the blue shirt on the far right.'
How do I remove a watermark from my own photo?
Upload the watermarked photo and say 'remove the watermark' or 'erase the text overlay.' The AI identifies the watermark pattern and reconstructs the image underneath. This works for text watermarks, logo watermarks, date stamps, and other overlays. Note: only use this on photos you own or have rights to.
Can I remove backgrounds to make them transparent?
Yes. Say 'remove the background and make it transparent' or 'replace background with white.' The AI precisely separates your subject from the background. This is perfect for product photos, headshots, logos, and e-commerce listings.
What if the removal leaves artifacts or looks wrong?
Try a second pass with a more specific prompt. Mention the artifact directly: 'clean up the smudge on the left side' or 'blend the edge more naturally.' You can also try describing the expected fill more precisely. Complex removals sometimes benefit from being done in two or three smaller passes rather than one large edit.
Can I remove skin blemishes without looking over-edited?
Yes. The AI preserves natural skin texture by default. For portrait retouching, add 'while preserving natural skin texture' to your prompt. This prevents the plastic, over-smoothed look that older retouching tools produce. You can remove acne, blemishes, dark circles, and other imperfections while keeping the portrait looking authentic.
How is this different from other AI photo erasers?
Most AI erasers require you to paint over the area you want removed. EditThisPic uses a description-first approach — you describe what to remove in words, and the AI identifies and removes it automatically. This is faster, more intuitive, and handles edge cases better because the AI understands the full context of your image.
