Include the whole footprint
Select feet, bases, handles and shadows that belong to the object. A remaining dark patch can reveal where the distraction used to be.

Is People Remover right for this photo?
People Remover removes selected objects from a photo in your browser. Paint over a cable, bin or cup and review the filled area before downloading. It works on the area you mark, so you can leave nearby objects alone. Large objects and patterned backgrounds are harder to fill.

EXAMPLES
Object removal examples
Both examples were edited in People Remover. Each one shows what to include in the selection and what to check afterwards.
OUTDOOR
Remove a traffic cone and its shadow
A bright traffic cone can draw the eye away from a doorway or garden. Brush over the entire cone, including its dark base and the shadow cast across the tiles.
After removal, follow the grout lines through the filled area. They should meet the surrounding tiles at the same angle. Leave the plants, pots and their shadows outside your selection.

BeforeAfterINDOOR
Remove a backpack from a rug
A bag on the floor can interrupt an otherwise calm interior photo. Cover the backpack and every loose strap; thin pieces at the edge are easy to miss.
Compare the rug texture before saving. A large object hides more of the scene, so inspect the nearby furniture edges too. If a strap remains, make a small cleanup selection instead of repainting the entire rug.

BETTER RESULTS
Selection tips
Keep useful context visible
Work close to the object’s outline. Surrounding floorboards, tiles or fabric guide the fill; masking a large rectangle hides that context.
Check edges before texture
Look at straight lines and nearby furniture first, then inspect the surface detail. Use Adjust original selection if the mask touched something you wanted to keep.

HOW IT WORKS
How do I remove someone from a photo?
Bring your photo
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
Mark what goes
Paint over the object you want removed. Adjust the brush size and use Unmark to clear accidental marks.
Review and save
Sign in with Google and use purchased credits to process the selection. Each new edit uses 3 credits. Compare the result, then download at the original size.
LIMITATIONS
When should you expect a difficult result?
The removed area is filled in from what surrounds it. It’s a convincing guess, not the real scene that was hidden. Repeating patterns, overlapping people and very large selections are the hardest cases and may need a second pass. Zoom in and check the result before you print or share it.
FAQ
Can I remove a large sofa or car?
You can try, but a large object hides more of the scene. The missing floor, wall or street is generated, so check perspective and lines rather than expecting the original hidden details.
Which objects can I erase?
You can select signs, bins, cables and other distractions. The more of the surrounding scene is visible, the better the fill.
Can I keep nearby details?
Paint only the unwanted object. Use Unmark to clear accidental marks from the mask.
Should I select the object’s shadow too?
Yes, if the shadow belongs to the object you are removing. Leave shadows from furniture, plants or people you want to keep outside the selection.
Why do tiles or floorboards look uneven after removal?
Repeated patterns and straight lines can be difficult to rebuild, especially behind a large object. Check the selection, keep nearby context visible and try again if the lines still don’t match.
Do downloads keep the original size and have no watermark?
Yes. People Remover exports a PNG with the original width and height and no watermark. Only the brushed area changes; the replacement detail is generated and may need review. Camera metadata such as EXIF is not retained.
Is People Remover free, or do I need a subscription?
It is a paid tool with no free trial or signup credits. Sign in with Google and buy a one-time pack or monthly plan. Every new edit costs 3 credits. You can upload a photo and prepare a selection before purchasing; a subscription is optional.
Can I use it on my phone without installing an app?
Yes. Open the site in a current mobile browser and select a photo from your device. You use a manual brush; there is no automatic selection of every person and no text prompt is needed. A computer can be easier for tight edges.
Which image formats and sizes are supported?
Upload JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB and 25 megapixels. If a large photo will not open on your phone, try a smaller copy or a computer.
Does the photo stay on my device?
Choosing a photo and marking the area happen in your browser. Submitting an edit uploads the photo and selection to the service for processing by an image provider; the result is saved to your workspace. This is not an offline or entirely on-device editor.
Can I process a batch of photos or remove people from video?
No. The editor works on one still image at a time. It does not offer batch uploads or video removal. You can mark multiple areas within the same photo.
