Paint over a photobomber, a stranger or an ex, or let the AI people remover clear every passerby behind you. What was behind them is filled back in, so the photo looks as if they were never there.

Drag the slider on each pair. Paint over a person removes only who you mark; Remove background people clears everyone around the main subject.
To take one person out of a group shot, pick Paint over a person and brush over them from head to shoes. Paint only that person: whatever you cover of a neighbor, an arm or a shoulder, is removed too, so stop where they touch.
Want an empty street or a clean shot of a building? Pick Remove background people and run it: pedestrians and crowds at the crossing are removed and the road behind them is filled in. Parked cars, signs and storefronts stay.
Low sun throws long shadows. When you paint over a person, brush along their shadow too, all the way to its tip: a shadow you skip stays on the sand with nobody attached.
Old towns and landmarks are hard to shoot empty. Remove background people takes out dozens of tourists at once, even small ones far away, and fills in the street behind them. Things people carry, like a bunch of balloons, can be left floating, so look over the result with the slider.
Silhouettes against a sunrise or sunset sky clean up well because the sky behind is smooth. Paint over the person you want gone, down to their feet but not into the ground they stand on, and the sky is continued around the rest of the group.
Three steps. A run takes under a minute.
JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB, from your phone or computer.
Brush over whoever should go, shadow included. Or pick Remove background people to clear everyone around the main subject in one click.
Drag the slider over where the person was, paint again if anything is left, then save the photo.
The more of the background shows around a person, the cleaner they come out. What they hid completely has to be guessed.
People behind you on a street, a beach or at a landmark are removed and the pavement, sand or wall behind them is continued, with the main subject untouched.
With Paint over a person, only the painted area changes: everyone and everything else stays exactly as uploaded. Paint the whole person with a small margin, plus their shadow or reflection.
Where a person covered something that shows nowhere else in the photo, like part of a face, a hand or a sign, the AI fills in something plausible, not what was really there. People holding hands or with an arm around someone are the hardest case. Compare with the slider before you download.
Any photo editor can do it by hand. This is the usual way.
A small figure on a plain background takes a minute by hand. A person in front of buildings, railings or other people takes much longer, and that's where this tool saves the most time.
Draw a selection a little wider than their outline, shadow included, with the Lasso tool in Photoshop or Free Select in GIMP.
Use Edit > Content-Aware Fill or the Remove tool in Photoshop, or Filters > Enhance > Heal Selection in GIMP.
Where the fill bends a railing, a horizon or a tiled floor, clone from a clean area right next to it and keep the lines straight.
Look for ghost outlines, repeated patterns and leftover feet or shadows. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, the Clean Up tool in Photos handles small figures; on Android, Google Photos' Magic Eraser does.
Yes. Each photo costs 8 credits, and everyone gets 10 free credits a day without an account, enough for one photo a day. Downloads have no watermark. Credit packs and plans for more are on the pricing page.
Pick Paint over a person and brush over them. Only the painted area changes: everyone and everything you didn't paint stays exactly as uploaded.
Yes. Pick Remove background people. The AI keeps the main subject of the photo, for example you in a selfie, and removes the passersby and tourists around them. If it keeps someone you want gone, run it again with Paint over a person.
Yes, with Paint over a person. Paint only that person: whatever you cover of the people next to them is removed too. Where two people overlap, what the removed person hid is filled in from the surroundings, so check that spot with the slider.
Open this page in Safari, upload the photo, paint over the person with your finger and save the result to Photos. iPhones with Apple Intelligence also have a Clean Up tool in Photos, which works best on small figures.
Away from the people removed, no: the photo keeps its content as uploaded. Photos up to about 2.4 megapixels keep their size; bigger photos are scaled down to about 2.4 megapixels first. Your original file isn't changed.
Your photos and what you paint on them are used only to create your result, never to train AI. Without an account they're deleted after 24 hours. Signed in, they're kept in History for 72 hours, or until you delete them if you turn on "Keep my tasks". Details are in our Privacy Policy.
