Remove People from Photos

Brush over a tourist, a stranger or anyone who walked into your shot. The AI removes the person and fills in what was behind them.

How to remove people from photos

  1. 1

    Upload the photo

    Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP photo from your phone or computer. People is already selected as the removal type.

  2. 2

    Brush over the person

    Paint over the whole person, including feet, shadow and anything they are holding. A slightly bigger brush works better than a tight outline.

  3. 3

    Erase and download

    Click Erase and wait about 30 seconds. Toggle between the original and the result, then download the clean photo.

A person removed, the rest of the photo untouched

Only the area you brush over changes. In this lakeside photo the man in red is gone, while the woman in front, the photographer and the walker in the back stay exactly as they were.

When to use a person remover

  • Travel photos

    Take tourists out of landmark shots so the view looks the way you remember it.

  • Busy backgrounds

    Remove one or two people at a time from a crowd, then run it again for the next.

  • Street and event shots

    Clear passers-by who wandered into a portrait or a group photo.

    Remove people from home, rental or product photos before you post them.
