Remove Clutter from eBay Photos
-
Upload your cluttered product photo
Drop your photo into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Even heavily cluttered backgrounds with multiple distracting elements can be cleaned up.
Simple clutter removal: 15-20 seconds. Complex scenes with many objects: may need 2 passes. -
Ask the AI to remove the clutter
Type 'remove all background clutter, clean professional look' for a full cleanup, or 'replace background with clean white' for a complete background swap. The AI knows what is the product and what is clutter.
If you want to keep the surface but remove items behind the product, try 'remove background objects but keep the table surface.' -
Verify the product is untouched
Check that only the clutter was removed. The product itself should be identical. Verify condition details, labels, and accessories are all still present and unaffected.
Check edges carefully where the product meets the removed clutter. Any rough edges can be fixed with markers. -
Clean up any remaining distractions
If some clutter remains or edges need cleanup, tap markers on those spots. For specific objects, describe them: 'remove the tool in the background' or 'remove the cable on the left.'
Be specific about what to remove. Naming the object helps the AI distinguish between clutter and product accessories.

Common Clutter Removal Issues
AI removed product accessories along with the clutter
Why: The AI may interpret accessories near the product as clutter, especially if they are not touching the main item.
Tap markers on the accessories, then: remove background clutter but preserve these marked accessories with the product
Mark all accessories and items that should stay. This tells the AI what is part of the listing and what is clutter.
Edges of product look rough where clutter was removed
Why: Where the product meets the removed clutter, the AI has to guess the edge. Complex or overlapping items create rough edges.
Tap markers on the rough edges, then: clean up product edges, smooth transition to white background
Markers on edge areas guide the AI to focus its cleanup on those specific boundaries.
Shadow of removed clutter still visible
Why: The AI removed the object but left its shadow or reflection on the surface.
Follow up with a shadow removal pass to clean up any residual traces of the removed clutter.
Part of the surface was removed with the background
Why: When using full background replacement, the surface the product sits on may be removed too.
replace background with clean white, keep product with a soft shadow underneath for natural grounding
Adding 'soft shadow underneath' prevents the floating look when the surface is removed with the background.
Clutter behind transparent or reflective product parts still visible
Why: Transparent items like glass or clear plastic show clutter behind them. Reflective items show clutter in their reflections.
remove background clutter, replace reflections with clean studio environment, clean through transparent areas
Request clean studio reflections and clean transparent areas to address clutter visible through or on the product.
eBay Clutter Removal Questions
Can I remove specific items while keeping others?
Yes. Describe exactly what to remove: 'remove the tools in the background but keep the product manual.' Or tap markers on items you want to keep to protect them from removal.
Will the AI know the difference between my product and the clutter?
Usually yes. The AI identifies the main subject (your product) and treats everything else as background. For ambiguous cases, tap markers on the product to ensure it is preserved.
Is it better to replace the whole background or just remove specific items?
Full background replacement to white gives the cleanest result. Removing specific items while keeping the environment works if the surface or setting adds value to the listing.
Can I use this if my product is surrounded by similar items?
Yes, but you may need to mark which item is being sold. Tap markers on your product and use 'keep only the marked item, remove everything else' for clear results.
What if accessories or included items get removed?
Mark the accessories with tap markers before generating. This tells the AI they are part of the listing. Include 'preserve all marked items' in your prompt.
Does this work on photos with very messy backgrounds?
Yes. The AI handles everything from slightly cluttered desks to extremely messy garages. More complex scenes may need a second pass for perfect cleanup, but the first pass handles most of the clutter.
