About Remove Object from Image
This tool removes something you do not want from a photo: text or a date stamp in the corner, a spot, a thin cable, or a small object in the background. Open the image, brush over the thing you want gone, and press Erase brushed area. The tool fills the area with colors that match its surroundings. You can brush and erase as many times as you like on the same image, undo the last erase, and hold the compare button to see the original.
The tool fills the brushed area from its edges inward, using a weighted average of the nearby pixels. It runs instantly on any device, phones included, and gives clean results on small text, spots, lines and plain backgrounds. On large areas or busy patterns the filled part looks smoother than the rest of the photo, so it works best when you remove things in small steps. The image is never uploaded.

How to use
Open the image
Drag the image onto the drop area or click to choose it, up to 30 MB. Images larger than 4096 px on a side are scaled down to that size for editing.
Brush over what to remove
Pick a brush size and paint over the object or text until the red overlay covers it completely. Undo the last stroke or clear the brush if you slip.
Press Erase brushed area
The result appears in the same image. If a trace is left, brush over it and erase again, or press Undo last erase.
Download
Press Download image. It is saved in the original format, named after the original file with “-edited” added.
Examples
Date stamp on an old photo
A family photo has an orange date printed in the corner. Paint over the digits with a small brush, use the fast method, and the date is replaced by the background color.
Logo sticker on a product photo
A product shot has a small store sticker on a plain table. Brush over the sticker, press Erase, and the table colour fills its place.
Name on a screenshot
An app screenshot shows a real user name. Brush over it and erase it with the fast method before using the screenshot in a tutorial or slide.
Power line across a sunset
A thin cable cuts across a sky photo. One stroke along the cable, press Erase, and the sky is filled in from both sides.
| What you remove | Result | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Small text and date stamps | Clean | Use a small brush and cover the letters fully |
| Spots, dust and blemishes | Clean | One tap of the brush is usually enough |
| Thin lines and cables | Good | Follow the line in one stroke |
| Large objects on busy backgrounds | Smooth patch, weaker | Erase in small parts, one after another |
Tips
- Cover the whole object plus a small margin; anything left outside the brush shows up in the result.
- Remove big objects in stages: brush a part, erase it, then the next part. The result is usually cleaner.
- Hold the “Hold to see original” button to check that nothing you wanted to keep was touched.
- The tool smooths the area rather than recreating patterns, so it looks best on plain backgrounds such as sky, walls and tables.
- Use a large brush for wide plain areas and use a small brush near edges, so the fill takes its colour from the right side of the boundary.

Frequently asked questions
How does the tool fill the area?
It fills the brushed area from the edges inward with a weighted average of the surrounding pixels. That suits small and simple areas such as text, spots and lines.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Erasing happens entirely on your device.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, WebP and other formats your browser can open. The result keeps the original format, and transparency in PNG and WebP is preserved.
Does the image lose resolution?
No, unless a side is longer than 4096 px; then it is scaled down to 4096 before editing and the tool tells you. Areas you did not brush are not edited, though a JPG is re-saved at high quality.
Can it remove a watermark from a photo?
It can erase any area you brush, but please use it on your own photos or ones you have the right to edit. Removing a photographer's watermark to repost their image can break copyright law.
Why is there a smooth blotch where the object was?
That is typical on large areas, because the tool blends the surrounding colors instead of redrawing patterns. Erase in smaller steps for a cleaner result.
How many times can I undo?
The tool keeps your last six erases, so you can step back through them one at a time. Start over restores the original image completely.
How long does it take?
Usually under a second, even on a phone.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Paint over the image with your finger; everything works the same as on a computer.
Can I remove a person from a photo?
A small figure far in the background on a plain area such as sky, sand or a wall usually comes out well. A large person in front of a detailed scene leaves a smooth patch, so the result depends on what is behind them.
Does it change the colours of the rest of the photo?
No. Only the area you brushed is changed; every other pixel stays exactly as it was.
Can I use the result commercially?
Yes, the edited image is yours to use as long as you own the original photo or have the right to edit it.
