How to Remove an Object from a Photo with AI (Free)
Got a photo ruined by a stranger in the background, a stray power line, a timestamp, or anything else you wish wasn't there? Here's how to erase it with AI, right in your browser — no software, no upload to a third-party server.
Steps
- Upload your photo at Stelluna's AI Object Remover — JPG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 15MB.
- Paint over the object you want gone using the brush — adjust the brush size slider for small details or large areas.
- Click "Remove Object." The first time you use it, the AI model downloads to your browser (about 27MB, one-time only).
- Download the result — the object is gone, replaced with a plausible reconstruction of what's behind it.

Open AI Object RemoverHow does AI object removal work?
The AI model (MI-GAN) was trained on millions of photos to recognize textures, patterns, and structure — brick walls, grass, skin, sky. When you paint over an object, the model treats that area as missing information and generates new pixels that blend naturally with the surrounding scene, based on what it learned real photos tend to look like. It's the same idea used by professional photo editing software, distilled into a model small and fast enough to run entirely on your device.
FAQ
Is it free?
Yes — no account, no watermark, no limit on how many photos you edit.
Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI model runs entirely inside your browser using WebGPU or WebAssembly — the photo is never sent to a server.
What kind of objects can it remove?
Anything you can paint over — people, text overlays, power lines, logos, small distracting objects. Results are best for small-to-medium areas; extremely large or complex masks are harder for any AI model to fill in convincingly.
Is there a size limit?
Yes — input is capped at 1024px on the longest side to keep processing time reasonable. Larger photos are automatically downscaled first.
