On-device AI: the objects are removed right in your browser and nothing is uploaded. The first removal downloads the AI model (about 27 MB) once; after that it is cached.

How to use Object Remover

  1. 1

    Upload your photo

    Drop, paste (Ctrl+V) or choose a JPG, PNG or WEBP photo. It is processed on your device and never uploaded.

  2. 2

    Paint over what to remove

    Use the brush, rectangle or lasso to cover the object completely, including its shadow. Zoom in for small details.

  3. 3

    Remove and download

    Press Remove selected. AI rebuilds the background; repeat for more objects, compare with the original, then download PNG, JPG or WEBP.

A free AI magic eraser that runs in your browser

This object remover uses MI-GAN, a fast open-source inpainting model, to erase unwanted things from photos. You paint over the area, and the AI looks at the surroundings to recreate what was behind it: sky, grass, walls, sand, water, skin or patterned backgrounds. Unlike most online tools, the model runs on your device. Your photo is never uploaded, and after the first use (a one-time download of about 27 MB) it works quickly and even offline.

What you can remove

  • People and photobombers in the background of holiday and street photos.
  • Objects: bins, cars, signs, cables, power lines, lamp posts, litter or tourists.
  • Text and date stamps on your own photos, such as camera date stamps or stickers.
  • Blemishes and small flaws: spots, dust, scratches, stains and stray hairs.
  • Product photo clean-up: tags, reflections and clutter around items you sell.

How to get the best result

  • Cover the whole object plus a small margin, and include its shadow and reflection.
  • Remove big things in parts. Large areas look more natural if you remove them in two or three passes.
  • Zoom in (scroll or pinch) for precise work on small details, and use a smaller brush.
  • Repeat on the result if a trace remains; every step is kept so you can go back.
  • Adjust the surrounding area slider: more context helps with large, uniform backgrounds; less context keeps fine detail.

Full resolution, no quality loss

Only the area around your selection is processed by the AI, and the result is blended back into the original with a soft edge. Everything else stays pixel-for-pixel identical, so your photo keeps its full resolution (up to 4096 px on the longest side). Download as PNG for lossless quality, or JPG and WEBP for smaller files.

Use it responsibly

Remove objects from photos you own or have the right to edit. Please do not use this tool to remove watermarks or credits from other people's images.

Need a different edit? Try the Background Changer to replace the whole background, the Blur Faces tool to anonymise people, or the AI Image Upscaler to sharpen the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is the object remover really free?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits on the number of photos.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The AI model runs in your browser, so your photos never leave your device. The model itself (about 27 MB) is downloaded once and cached.
How do I remove a person from a photo?
Upload the photo, paint over the person including their shadow, and press Remove selected. For large people, remove them in two or three passes for the most natural result.
Why does the removed area look blurry or smudged?
The AI works best on natural backgrounds. Very large selections or complex structures such as text, faces or detailed buildings behind the object are harder. Try smaller selections, more passes, or a different Surrounding area setting.
Does it reduce the quality of my photo?
No. Only the selected area is changed and blended in softly; the rest of the photo stays identical at full resolution up to 4096 px.
Can I undo a removal?
Yes. Use Undo (Ctrl+Z), or click any step in the Steps list to go back to it. Hold Compare to see the original at any time.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Paint with your finger, pinch to zoom, and remove. Processing is slower on older phones.
Can I use it to remove watermarks?
Only from images you own or have the rights to. Removing watermarks or credits from other people's work may infringe their copyright.
