What an AI object remover is good at, and what it isn’t
Removing an object means inventing what was behind it. When the background is simple or repeating (sky, lawn, wall, road, sea) the free on-device eraser does it well. When the object hides something structured, like a table edge, a railing or part of a person, AI fill is better, because it can draw a continuous line through the gap. Neither can recover what was actually there: the result is a plausible fill, not a photo of the past.
Tips
- Include the object’s shadow and reflection in your brush stroke.
- For long thin things (wires, cables, stray hairs) use a small brush and one continuous stroke.
- Remove large objects in pieces, working from the edges inward.
Questions
Is the AI photo object remover free?
The on-device eraser is free and unlimited. AI fill is free too, with a small hourly limit per visitor, because every AI image call has a real cost.
Can I remove a person from a photo?
Yes. Paint over the person and their shadow. There is a dedicated page with tips at Remove people from photo.
How do I remove an object from a photo without Photoshop?
Brush over it here and press Erase. The on-device eraser works like Photoshop’s Content-Aware Fill, and AI fill works like Generative Fill, for free and in the browser.
Can I remove shadows too?
Yes. Include the shadow in your brush stroke, or see Remove shadow from photo for shadows that fall across text or faces.
Does it work on phone photos?
Yes, including large 12–48 MP images. Anything over 4096 px on the long side is scaled to 4096 px while you edit.
