Erase anything from a photo

Brush over a person, an object, some text or a watermark, and AI fills the gap. It runs in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device, and there are no credits to buy.

or drop one here, or paste it with ⌘V. JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF.

How it works

  1. Add a photo

    Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF, drop it on the box, or paste it from your clipboard.

  2. Brush over it

    Paint over the thing to remove, with a little room around it. Change the brush size for small or big things.

  3. Press Erase

    LaMa, an open AI model, fills what you painted from what's around it, on your own device. The first time, your browser downloads it (about 37 MB) and keeps it.

  4. Touch up and download

    Keep brushing and erasing until it's gone, step back with Undo, then download it at its full size. No watermark.

Clean up photos right on your thumbnail

In Orcanva's editor the same eraser works on every image you add, and its crop, filters and effects stay as they are. Then add bold text and export at the exact size. Free, with a Google or email account.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes. The AI runs on your own device, so an erase costs nothing to make: no limit, no credits, no watermark and no account.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. On this page your photo is read by your browser and filled in on your device. The only downloads are the AI model and its runtime, from Hugging Face and jsDelivr.
What can it remove?
Things against a background it can continue: people and objects in a landscape or on a table, text, logos, watermarks, wires and blemishes. Where it has to invent a lot, like a face or a busy pattern, a second pass on what's left usually helps.
Which browsers does it work in?
Any recent browser. With WebGPU (recent Chrome, Edge and Safari) an erase takes about a second; without it the model runs on one CPU core and takes several seconds.
Does it change the rest of my photo?
Only what you paint changes, and the photo keeps its size. A PNG with a transparent background, like a cutout from the background remover, keeps its transparency.
Can I use the result commercially?
The model is LaMa, by Roman Suvorov and others, and its weights are released under the Apache 2.0 licence, which allows commercial use. To be open about it: it was trained on Places2, a collection of photos whose own terms allow non-commercial research and education, and the weights' licence doesn't say how that carries over. The picture you make is yours.
