Remove people from a photo

Upload the photo and press Remove it. With the field left empty, the tool removes the people in the background who are not the main subject and fills the space with a continuation of the scene. Type a few words to remove one person instead. Make the edit with any DreamBench plan and download it full size.

Yes, if you say which one: the man on the far left, the woman in the red coat behind us. The others are kept as they are, in the same framing. A person who overlaps someone you keep, with an arm across them, is harder to remove cleanly, so check the join.

A plausible continuation of what surrounds the gap: the same wall, sidewalk, sea or sky, with matching light and perspective. It is generated, not recovered, so it is not the real view they were hiding. On a plain background the fill is usually invisible; in a detailed scene, look closely.

It is instructed not to, and the main subject is kept as it is: the same faces, pose and clothing. The result is a re-render of the picture rather than a pixel-exact copy, so look at faces and text before you download, and run it again if something has drifted.

Removing a person usually leaves no smudge on a plain wall, sidewalk, sea or sky: the scene carries on where they stood. Behind a dense crowd or on a patterned background the fill can look soft. If it does, run it again with a narrower description of who should go and where they stand.

Name them and where they are, such as the man on the left with his arm round me, and press Remove it. Everyone you don't name is kept. Where they touched you, an arm across your shoulder or a hand on yours, is the hard part, so check it at full size.

Yes, by naming yourself: the person in the center in the green jacket. With the box left empty the tool keeps the main subject and removes the strangers, so to remove the main subject you have to say so. The scene is painted in where you stood, and everyone you don't name is kept.

No. Cutting out keeps the person and discards the background, which the AI background remover does. This tool keeps the scene and takes the person out of it, filling where they stood. Use the first for a sticker or a collage, the second for a clean scene. Nor does it put someone else in their place: remove here first, then add what you want with the AI image editor.

It can. The picture is drawn again at the image model's own size, its 2K tier over about 1.5 megapixels and its 1K tier below, so a large upload can come back with fewer pixels than it had, in the same proportions. For a large print, enlarge the clean photo with the image upscaler, which adds pixels without redrawing anything.

Yes, by painting over them: Clean Up in Photos on iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Magic Eraser in Google Photos, and Photoshop's Remove tool and Generative Fill. This page needs no brush: leave the box empty and it finds the people in the background itself, in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, Android or iPhone, Mac or Windows, with nothing to install.

No. It edits one still photo at a time, and DreamBench has no video eraser. Clean up a still here, then press Animate this clean photo: the composer opens with it as a reference, and DreamBench's video models make a new clip of the emptied scene.

A shadow or a reflection stays where the person was because the instruction named the person, and the model read their shadow on the ground, or their reflection in a window, water or a mirror, as part of the scene. Run it again and name those too: the two people behind us and their shadows, the man on the left and his reflection in the window.

It removes the wrong person when the words fit someone else, or when the box was left empty and the person you meant was read as the main subject: the default takes out only the people in the background who are not the main subject. Name the person by position and clothing, such as the woman second from the left in the blue coat, and say who stays.

No. Every run needs a DreamBench plan; you create an account on the way, and the button shows the price in credits before you press it. The tools come with every plan, alongside the video models, and a run that fails is refunded.

No. The tool takes one photo per run, and there is no batch upload. Run it again for the next one, with the box empty or its own description: each run is priced separately, and the button shows the price before you press it.

No. A DreamBench tool adds no watermark to an image it returns, on any plan. The image model that fills the scene embeds SynthID, Google's invisible mark that identifies a picture as made or edited by AI; it changes nothing you can see, and the download is the clean photo full size.

A run starts at 7 credits from your DreamBench plan, depending on the photo, and once you have a plan the button shows each run's price before you press it. Starter, $9.99 a month, includes 1,100 credits a month, at least 122 runs of the People remover, plus AI video. A run that fails is refunded.

Yes: a free account and a DreamBench plan. The tools are part of every plan, from Starter at $9.99 a month.

A photo up to 40 megabytes: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or another format your browser opens. A photo straight from a phone is fine, an iPhone's HEIC included: the page scales a large picture down to 2048 pixels on its long edge before the run, so the result is never larger than the page says.

Yes. Under the DreamBench Terms you may use what a tool makes for personal and commercial purposes, including advertising, monetized content and work for clients, with no separate commercial-use upgrade. The Terms don't guarantee copyright in a result or clear another person's rights in your upload, so only use photos you have the rights to.

No. DreamBench doesn't use your prompts, uploads or videos to train or fine-tune AI models, and any future training program would be opt-in.

It stays in your browser until you make a result. Then it is used to make that result and nothing else, and removed from the tool's storage after seven days along with the result. A result you keep in your library stays as long as you keep it.
