How to Remove Objects From a Photo

Start with the clearest version of your image. A full-size photo gives the cleanup more detail around the person, text, logo, date stamp, or object you want to remove. JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 12 MB are supported.

Keep the original frame when you can. A nearby wall, road, sky, floor, table, or repeating pattern gives the cleaned area more nearby detail than a tight crop. Your original remains separate, so you can compare it or try again.

Paint over the complete thing you want to remove. For a person, include hair, clothing, shoes, bags, and the shadow on the ground. For text, include the outline, glow, or faint color around the letters. For a logo or object, include its small connected edges.

Use a smaller brush near faces, hands, product details, and straight lines you want to keep. A slightly wider selection is usually better than leaving a thin edge outside the brush.

Do not check only whether the object disappeared. Look at brightness, color, shadows, texture, straight lines, and nearby faces or product details. A small bright patch or broken line can be more noticeable than the original distraction.

If the result needs work, return to the original and change the selection. Include a faint edge that was missed, make the selection smaller near an important subject, or split a large area into two focused passes.

When the result looks right at the size where you will use it, download it as a separate image. Keep the original file as your backup. You can use the cleaned copy for an authorized personal photo, product listing, presentation, social post, or design.

Simple backgrounds are usually the best fit. A person against the sky, a logo on a plain wall, text on a smooth surface, or a date stamp in an empty corner gives the surrounding image enough information to continue naturally.

Busy patterns, reflective surfaces, faces, hands, and large subjects are more difficult. The tool creates a natural-looking continuation from visible detail; it cannot recover exact pixels that were hidden behind the thing you removed.
