Frequently asked questions

How do I remove a person from a photo?

Add the photo above, paint over the person so they are fully covered, including their shadow or reflection, and press Remove. The AI fills the area with the background around them.

Does it work for crowds?

Remove people one at a time, starting with the smallest and furthest away. People who cover a large part of the photo leave a soft patch, because the AI has to invent everything behind them.

Which backgrounds give the best result?

Beach, sea, sky, grass, snow, roads and plain walls. Busy backgrounds such as shop fronts or patterned floors are harder.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The AI model is downloaded to your browser once (28 MB) and your photos are edited on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Can I undo a removal?

Yes. Press Undo removal to go back one step (up to eight steps), and hold “Hold to see the original” to compare with the photo you started with.

Is it all right to remove people from photos?

For your own photos, yes: removing strangers from a holiday picture is a normal edit. Do not use edited photos to mislead people, for example as evidence or in news reporting.
