Removing unwanted objects and text out of an image to clean up your photo used to require special software and skills, but these days AI has led to features like Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop that lets anyone do it in just a few clicks. If you do not have a Photoshop subscription, there is a free Web and mobile app called Cleanup.pictures you can use.
This article is a step-by-step tutorial on how you can use Cleanup.pictures to effortlessly remove things like objects, defects, people, and text from a photo for free with just a few clicks.
An Introduction to Cleanup.pictures
In photography, there’s a careful balance between the elements that you want in your image and the elements that you want to leave out. Growing your photography skills requires attention to this balance, but it’s not always possible to achieve your desired composition. There are often unavoidable artifacts, such as people or background objects, that distract from the image’s main intent. Luckily, there are powerful tools such as Cleanup.pictures to help post-process these images.
Cleanup.pictures is, at a basic level, a free website and app that enables you to remove elements from an image. The website is accessible by visiting “Cleanup.pictures” using a search engine, and the feature is available in the iOS app ClipDrop.
When you first visit the website, the tool’s ease of use is clear. If you want to get started right away, you can simply upload an image from the site’s home screen by dragging and dropping or searching your files.
If you don’t have an image but you still want to test its functionality, Cleanup.pictures has a few example images available for you to test with. The app is similar in its simplicity, and it is packed with quick, powerful removal features.
A Powerful Freemium Tool for Object Removal
The free version of Cleanup.pictures currently has no limit on the number of images, and export resolutions are limited to 720px on the longest side. This is suitable for some social media platforms, but not suitable for print at reasonable dimensions with today’s printer resolutions.
The paid (Pro) version is $48 per year or $5 per month, though you can sometimes (such as at the time of this writing) find it on sale for $24 per year. This has no limit on the number of images, no resolution limit, and provides access to a high-quality refiner.
If you’d like to try Pro on your own images, there is currently a two-week free trial available.
