Remove an object from a photo — fill the gap
Select an unwanted area and let on-device AI fill it from the surroundings. This does not generate a new object from a prompt.

Select part of the photo
Move along the edge. Click to anchor, Backspace to undo an anchor, and double-click or return to the start to finish. On a phone, trace with your finger.
Paint to select; subtract to remove. Hold Alt or the right mouse button to switch temporarily.
Refine selection
These options can help or hurt depending on the image. Enable one, then select again to compare.

AI files are stored in your browser. Connecting a save folder moves them into its models folder, where new downloads are also saved. You can export or delete them here. Disconnecting a folder leaves its existing files in place.
Websites cannot open Explorer or read a folder’s full path. Enter the connected folder’s full path once to copy its models path.
Include the object and its shadow
Select a small prop, passerby, or distraction and fill the area from its surroundings. AI does not know what was truly behind the object: it creates a plausible replacement. Large objects or structured backgrounds can leave repeated patterns or awkward lines. Try small regions first, keep the original, and inspect anything important before sharing the edited picture.
Mark the object, refine the selection with brushes, then choose Remove. Required models are explained before downloading. If a shadow or reflection remains, try selecting a slightly wider area.
- Check whether the object has a shadow or reflection that should also go.
- Refine the selection, then press Erase selected area to start filling.
- Zoom in on floor lines, wall patterns, and color boundaries; undo if needed.
Why does the filled area look smudged?
The real background hidden behind the object is unknown. AI estimates it from nearby pixels, so large objects and repeating patterns can look wrong. Try a different selection or use Undo to compare.
Do unselected pixels change too?
The fill is composited into the selection; outside pixels stay unchanged during editing. Final JPG or lossy WebP encoding can still alter the whole image. Save PNG when you need to verify pixel preservation.
What if a colored outline remains?
The selection may stop inside the object or miss its shadow. The tool expands the edge slightly, but it cannot identify every reflection automatically. Add the remaining area to the selection and try again. Zoom in so that you do not accidentally include a nearby object you want to keep.
Is erasing one large area faster?
A large hole can leave too little surrounding information for a convincing result. Work on separate objects in smaller regions and check each result. Be especially careful with posts, horizons, or other structures that must connect. Since the filled region may be invented, this is not a suitable way to prepare documentary evidence.
Why is filling a separate button?
Selections often need adjustment, while filling takes more computation. The separate button avoids making you wait after every change. If graphics acceleration is unavailable, the standard method can still process the image but may take longer. Canceling leaves you able to try again from the original.
