Before & after
In short
To remove one person from a photo free: upload the picture, brush over just that person — including their shadow and any reflection — and tap Remove. In about 20–30 seconds the AI rebuilds the scene where they stood, and everyone you didn’t brush stays untouched. You get 3 a day free, 5 after a Google sign-in, no watermark on the result. Clean results come easiest when the person stands apart from those you’re keeping.
Removing one person, not a crowd
Clearing a whole crowd and removing a single, specific person are different jobs. With a crowd you sweep the brush across a block of background figures and let the AI rebuild the scenery. With one person — an ex in a couple photo, a stranger who wandered into your portrait, the one guest in a group shot you’d rather not keep — the work is about precision: take out exactly that figure and nothing else.
The easy version is when the person stands clearly apart, against a forgiving background like a wall, the sky, or a beach. Brush them plus their shadow, and they vanish into a seamless fill. The harder version is overlap. When the person you’re removing was touching someone you’re keeping — a hand on a shoulder, arms around each other — the AI has to invent the part of your subject that was hidden behind them. The result is usually convincing, but brushing carefully along that seam, and finishing with a light touch-up, is what turns a good result into a clean one.
One detail people miss: shadows and reflections. A person and the shadow they cast are separate pixels to the AI, so removing the figure but leaving the shadow gives you a shadow with no source. Include the shadow — and any reflection in water, glass, or a mirror — in the same brush mask, and the removal reads as natural.
How to remove a person in 3 steps
- 1
Upload the photo
Drag your picture into the upload card or tap to browse. JPG and PNG both work, and anything wider than 1536 pixels is resized automatically. A portrait with one stranger beside your subject, a couple shot you want to make solo, a group photo with one person to drop — all work here. The cleaner the gap between the person you're removing and the people you're keeping, the better the result.

Brush only the one person
Paint over that single person — head, body, limbs, and any shadow or reflection they cast. Use a 40–60 pixel brush and add 6–10 pixels of margin around their silhouette so the AI has context to rebuild from. The key with single-person removal is precision at the edges: brush right up to (but not over) anyone you want to keep, especially where arms, shoulders, or hair overlap.

Remove and download
Tap Remove person. In about 20–30 seconds the AI reconstructs the background where the person stood — wall, sky, floor, foliage, or the people and scenery behind them. Hit Download for a PNG at your upload's dimensions. Everyone you didn't brush stays exactly as they were.
