Photobomber in the background? Power line cutting through the sky? Random item ruining the shot? Brush over anything you want gone and the AI removes it.
Clean Image handles small to medium-sized objects. The AI looks at what's around the painted area and fills it with what makes sense — sky where a power line was, wall where a sign was, grass where a trash can was. It's not Photoshop-level cloning, but for most real-world photos it produces clean, natural results.
Strangers in the background, someone walking through your shot, unwanted faces. Best on simple backgrounds like walls, sky, or open landscapes.
Trash cans, signs, parked cars, construction equipment. The kind of thing you didn't notice when you took the photo but can't unsee now.
Overhead wires crossing an otherwise perfect sky. The AI fills with sky color and cloud texture — one of the easiest objects to remove cleanly.
Dust spots on the lens showing up in every photo. Skin marks on portraits. Small imperfections that catch the eye.
Open Clean Image. Upload your photo — PNG, JPG, or WebP. Use the brush to paint over the object. The brush size slider helps: 30–50 for large objects like people, 10–20 for small ones like spots. The red overlay shows exactly what you've marked for removal.
Click Erase. The AI model (OpenCV LaMa, running locally in your browser) analyzes the surrounding area and predicts what should fill the gap. A person against a brick wall? The AI generates brick texture. A sign against a blue sky? It fills with matching sky tones. Processing takes 1–5 seconds on most devices.
The 88MB model downloads once on first use. After that, every edit happens instantly — no server round-trips, no waiting for cloud processing.
Objects and text use the same AI engine but need different approaches. Objects have depth — they cast shadows, they occlude things behind them, they have irregular edges. The AI has to reconstruct what was hidden. Text and overlays are flat — they sit on top of the image, and the AI just needs to match the background underneath.
If you're removing text, dates, logos on images, or caption overlays, check the text removal guide — it covers the different technique for flat overlays specifically.
