🧹How to remove an unwanted object from a photo

Upload your photo in the tool below, brush over the thing you want gone — a stray chair, a bottle on the ground, a distant sign — then hit Erase. The AI looks at the surrounding pixels and rebuilds what should be behind it. It runs in your browser, free, with no signup, and your file is auto-deleted within 24 hours.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Upload your photo

    Drag your photo into the tool below or click to upload (JPG / PNG / WEBP).

  2. 2

    Brush over the object

    Set the brush size and cover the whole object, painting a little past its edges to give the repair room to work.

  3. 3

    Erase it

    Click Erase and AI fills the area from the surrounding background. Brushed too much? Just undo and retry.

  4. 4

    Check and download

    Look at the rebuilt background — busy textures usually look cleaner if you erase in a few small passes — then download.

Frequently asked questions

Will it leave a blur or a smudge where the object was?

On simple backgrounds — walls, sky, grass — the repair is usually invisible. On busy textures, hug the object more tightly with the brush and erase in a few smaller passes for the cleanest result.

Can I remove several objects at once?

Yes — brush over all of them and erase in one go. When objects sit close together, though, doing them one at a time gives you more control.

Is my original kept after processing?

Not long-term. Erase Cat is local-first; when AI repair is needed your file is used only for that one job and deleted within 24 hours, never used for training.
