🙃How to remove a photobomber from a photo
A great shot, ruined by someone in the background — upload it below, brush over the photobomber, and click Erase. The AI blends them out using the scene around them. Because photobombers usually sit in the background, away from your subject, these removals tend to come out clean. Free, no signup, files auto-deleted in 24h.

Frequently asked questions
The photobomber is close to my subject — will it damage them?
As long as your brush doesn't touch your subject, they stay untouched. When the two are close, shrink the brush and trace carefully along the edge.
There's a whole crowd in my beach photo — can I clear them all?
You can brush and erase them together, but with a dense crowd the background is harder to rebuild; clearing it zone by zone usually looks more natural.
