Common questions

Will the background look fake where the person was?

The AI matches surrounding textures - pavement, walls, grass, water - so the filled area blends naturally. For busy crowds, removing people one at a time gives the cleanest results.

Can I remove several people at once?

Yes. Mark each person with the brush tool, then run the removal once.

Does it work on phones?

Yes, the editor is touch-friendly and works in mobile browsers.

Is it really free?

Your first 100 removals are free - no credit card required to sign up.
