Remove a person from a photo by brushing over the stranger, photobomber or crowd you want gone. AI reconstructs the selected background, while people outside the brush selection keep their original pixels. This suits travel photos and group shots with unwanted people in the background.

What goes and what stays when you erase a person
The person goes; everyone else keeps their original pixels.
- Hair, bags, phones and shadows go with the person when brushed.
- The background behind them is rebuilt from the scene.
- Mark several people in one run.
- Remaining people do not move closer together.
- Everything outside the brush mark stays unchanged.
- The result keeps the proportions of your upload.
Which photos work best for removing people
Plain backgrounds give the cleanest result.
- Works well: people in front of sky, sand, water, a lawn or a blank wall.
- Works well: one person at the edge of a group.
- Harder: overlapping people, such as an arm around a shoulder.
- Harder: people covering a doorway, a sign or detailed carvings.
- Harder: dense crowds. Remove a few people per run.
Tips to remove a person from a photo cleanly
A slightly wider mark gives a cleaner edge.
- Brush head to feet, including hair, straps and held items.
- Include the shadow and any reflection.
- Leave a margin of a few pixels around the body.
- Run the result again to clear a leftover hand or shadow tip.
- Check closely the area the person covered.
- Remove several people in two or three passes for a busy scene.
