Upload Your Image
Go to ZeroEdit and upload the photo containing the object you want to remove. We support JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10MB.
Tip: For best results, use a high-resolution image where the object is clearly visible.
Describe What to Remove
In the prompt box, describe the object you want removed in plain English. Be specific about the object's location or appearance.
Example prompts:
- "Remove the trash can on the left"
- "Delete the person in the red shirt"
- "Erase the power lines in the background"
- "Remove the car behind me"
Wait for AI Processing
Click the edit button and wait a few seconds. Our AI will identify the object, remove it, and intelligently fill in the background.
Tip: Processing typically takes 5-10 seconds depending on the complexity of the removal.
Download Your Result
Once the edit is complete, preview the result. If you're happy, download the cleaned image. If not, try refining your prompt.
Tip: You can always undo and try a different description for better results.

- Be specific about location: 'the car on the left' is better than 'the car'
- Describe by color or clothing: 'the person in blue' helps the AI identify the right subject

- If the first attempt isn't perfect, try rephrasing your prompt
- For complex removals, consider removing objects one at a time
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of objects can I remove from photos? +
You can remove almost anything: people, vehicles, signs, power lines, trash, animals, furniture, watermarks, text, and more. The AI understands natural descriptions and can identify objects based on color, position, size, or type.
Will removing objects leave visible artifacts? +
Our AI uses advanced inpainting technology to fill in the removed area with realistic content. It analyzes the surrounding textures, colors, and patterns to generate seamless replacements. In most cases, the edit is undetectable.
Can I remove multiple objects at once? +
Yes! Simply list all the objects you want to remove in your prompt. For example: 'Remove the car, the street sign, and the person walking'. The AI will handle all removals simultaneously.
What if the AI removes the wrong object? +
Be more specific in your description. Include details like location ('on the left'), color ('the red car'), or relationship to other objects ('next to the tree'). You can also undo and try again with a refined prompt.
Does object removal work on large objects? +
Yes, but larger removals require more AI-generated content to fill the gap. Simple backgrounds (sky, grass, walls) work best. Complex scenes may require multiple attempts or manual touch-up.
Is this the same as content-aware fill in Photoshop? +
Similar concept, but ZeroEdit uses more advanced AI models and natural language understanding. Instead of manually selecting areas, you just describe what to remove. The AI handles identification and seamless filling automatically.
