How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your dusty image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Dust spots are most visible in smooth areas like skies, walls, and product backgrounds — the AI finds them even in complex textures.

Expect: Simple dust removal: 15-20 seconds. Heavy dust across the entire image: may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe what to remove

Type your instruction: 'remove all dust spots from the photo' or 'clean up the sensor dust and lint.' For product photos, try 'remove lint and dust particles visible on the surface.' The AI finds and removes dust across the entire image.

Tip: Say 'remove ALL dust spots, even small ones' if you have many barely-visible specks. The AI may miss the tiniest ones on the first pass unless you emphasize thoroughness.

AI scans the entire image and removes dust spots. Zoom to 100% and check smooth areas like sky, walls, and backgrounds where dust is most visible. If any spots remain, mark them and do a targeted second pass.

"Had dozens of sensor dust spots on a sky photo. Instead of clone stamping each one, I just said 'remove dust spots' and they were all gone instantly." @LandscapePhotog_Mike

Sensor dust removed from sky photo

A landscape photo had dozens of dark sensor dust spots scattered across the blue sky. All spots were removed in one pass, leaving a perfectly clean gradient.

Prompt: remove all the dark sensor dust spots visible in the sky area

Lint cleaned from dark product

If something looks off

Some dust spots remain after the first pass

Why: Very small or low-contrast dust spots may be missed, especially in textured areas where they blend in.

Try: Tap markers on remaining spots and say 'remove these remaining dust spots I've marked'

Try This →

Tip: For stubborn spots, use markers to point directly at them. The AI is more thorough when you mark specific locations.

AI removed something that wasn't dust

Why: Small features like distant birds, stars, or intentional texture dots can be misidentified as dust spots.

Try: Be more specific: 'remove only the dark round dust spots in the sky, keep the small birds and stars'

Try This →

Tip: If your photo has intentional small features, mention them: 'remove dust but keep the stars visible.'

Visible patches where dust was removed

Why: In areas with complex gradients or textures, the AI's fill may not perfectly match the surrounding area.

Try: Do a second pass: 'blend and smooth the areas where dust spots were removed to match the surroundings'

Try This →

Tip: This is rare with AI removal but can happen in complex gradient areas. A second smoothing pass fixes it.

Dust on the product surface wasn't fully removed

Why: Product texture can make it hard for the AI to distinguish between texture detail and dust.

Try: Mark the dusty areas and say 'remove the dust and lint particles from the marked areas on the product surface'

Try This →

Tip: For textured products, marking specific areas helps the AI distinguish between intentional texture and unwanted dust.

Photo looks slightly soft after dust removal

Why: The AI may have slightly softened the area around removed spots to blend them in.

Try: Do a follow-up: 'sharpen the photo slightly to restore crispness after dust removal'

Try This →

Tip: A quick sharpening pass after dust removal ensures the overall image stays crisp.

Quick answers

How do I remove dust spots from photos for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic and type 'remove all dust spots from the photo.' The AI scans the entire image and removes every dust spot in 15-20 seconds. Free to try, no signup required, no watermarks.

Can AI remove sensor dust from photos?

Yes! Sensor dust appears as dark spots, usually most visible in smooth areas like skies and walls. Type 'remove all sensor dust spots' and the AI finds and removes them all in one pass — much faster than clicking each spot with a clone stamp tool.

Does dust removal work on product photos?

Absolutely. Product photos often show lint, dust fibers, and particles on surfaces. Type 'remove all lint and dust from the product' and the AI cleans the surface while preserving the product's real texture and detail.

Can I remove dust from scanned photos?

Yes! Scanner dust appears as dark or white specks overlaid on the image. Type 'remove dust and debris from this scanned photo' and the AI removes scanner artifacts while preserving the original photo content.

How is AI dust removal different from clone stamp?

Clone stamp requires you to manually click each dust spot one by one — tedious when you have dozens. AI dust removal scans the entire image and removes all spots in one pass. What takes 10 minutes manually takes 15 seconds with AI.

Will dust removal affect the rest of my photo?

No. The AI only modifies the small areas where dust spots are detected. It fills each spot with texture that seamlessly matches the surrounding area. The rest of your photo remains completely untouched.
