How to use Object Remover
- Choose a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or iPhone HEIC), paste a screenshot, take one with your phone's camera or webcam, or tap the example to see it work.
- Paint over what you want gone: a person, an object, a date stamp, text or a blemish. Change the brush size, zoom in for small things, and undo a stroke if you go too far.
- Tap "Remove". The first time, the AI (about 28 MB) downloads once and the page shows how much is left; then the painted area is filled in on your device.
- Compare before and after. Paint again for another pass if a trace is left, then save the photo as a JPG or PNG, or share it from your phone.
Why use Object Remover
- An AI that fills, not smears
- MI-GAN, an open model trained on millions of scenes, draws what probably sat behind the object: sky, wall, grass, road or water, with edges kept straight. In 240 tests on 120 photos it had never seen, it came closer to the real background than classic inpainting in 239.
- Paint, remove, repeat
- A brush you can size, zoom with two fingers or the buttons for small details, and undo for a stroke or a whole removal. Busy scenes can take a second stroke over what the AI drew.
- Full size kept
- Only the painted square changes; every other pixel stays exactly as it was, and the photo is saved at its own size up to 16 megapixels. A bigger photo (a 48-megapixel phone shot) is made smaller to 16 first, the most a phone can work with, and the page shows its new size.
- Private, one download
- The AI runs in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded, and once the model has downloaded, the tool keeps working if the connection drops, on a phone or a computer.
About this tool
An object remover takes something out of a photo and paints the gap so it looks as if it was never there: the stranger behind your family at the beach, a bin at the edge of a landscape, a date stamp or watermark text in a corner, a power line, a blemish on a face. You mark the area with a brush, and the AI (the technique is called inpainting) works out what the background probably looked like from the pixels around it. It copies textures and continues edges, so plain backgrounds such as sky, walls, sand, grass and water come out best. It cannot know what was really behind a person, so in a busy scene it sometimes invents something odd; a second stroke over that part usually fixes it.
Everything happens on your device. The first time you remove something, the model and the engine that runs it (about 28 MB) download once and are kept by your browser, so later visits skip the download. Once the page is open, it works without a connection. The model works on a 512-pixel square cut around what you painted, with a margin so it can see the surroundings, and the fill is blended back with a soft two-pixel edge. Large areas are shrunk to fit that square, so they come back a little softer than small ones, which is why several small removals beat one big one. On a recent computer a removal takes about a second in Chrome, Safari or Firefox; phones take longer, and after the first one the page shows how long it usually takes on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Is this object remover free?
Yes, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on photos, and an HD photo comes back at its full size. The ads on the page pay for the site.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI runs in your browser on your own device; nothing is sent to a server. You can switch Wi-Fi off after the model has downloaded and it still works.
Can it remove a person from a photo?
Yes. Paint over the person, including their shadow, and tap Remove. On a plain background (sand, grass, a wall, the sea) the result is usually clean; in front of a crowd or detailed furniture, paint a second pass over anything the AI drew wrong. To remove people from a group photo, do them one at a time.
Can it remove text or a watermark from an image?
It removes text, date stamps and logos you paint over, as long as what is behind them is simple. Only remove watermarks from photos you own or have the right to use.
How is this different from the eraser in my phone's photo app?
The idea is the same: paint over something and the AI fills the area. Some phones and photo apps have one built in; this one runs in the browser on any phone or computer and never uploads the photo. Its model is small (13 MB) so it can run in a browser, and very large objects come out softer for it: paint them in pieces.
Photo se object remove kaise kare, photo se insan ko kaise hataye?
Photo me se object ya insan hatane ke liye us par ungli se rang karein aur "Remove" dabayein. Open this page on your phone, choose the photo, paint over the person with your finger, shadow included, and tap Remove. It works in the browser, so there is no app to install, and the photo stays on your phone.
Why does the fill look blurry or wrong?
The AI works on a 512-pixel square around the painted area; a large area is shrunk to fit it, so the fill comes back softer. Paint smaller pieces one at a time, zoom in and keep the brush tight to the object. If it drew something odd, paint over that and remove again.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, on iPhone and on Android, where you remove an object, a person or any item from a photo with your finger: one finger paints, two fingers pinch to zoom and move the photo. A removal takes longer than on a computer, and after the first one the page shows how long it usually takes on your phone. Phones with little memory use a smaller working size, and the page says so.
Can I take the photo on my phone and remove things on the computer?
Yes. On the computer, choose "Use your phone's camera" and scan the code, and the photo you take on the phone opens here on the bigger screen, where a mouse makes it easier to paint round small things. "Use the webcam" works too, and on a phone "Take a photo" opens its own camera.
