Two ways to remove a person from a photo

Both examples start from the same photo, made with GPT Image 2.6 for this test: a woman on a beach at sunrise with four strangers behind her. Use this photo loads the photo, the marks and the words into the tool above.

Circle one person

Remove only the man in the blue shirt

We drew a ring around the man standing at the water's edge and wrote one line. GPT Image 2.6 took out only him: the sea and the sunlit water behind him came back, and the three people walking along the shore, the woman in front and the light stayed exactly as they were. This is what drawing is for: when there are several people and only one should go, a circle is clearer than a description. 24 seconds.

PromptRemove only the man I circled. Keep everyone else, the beach and the light exactly the same.

Say who to remove

Remove everyone behind her

With no drawing at all, we asked for the people in the background to go and for the woman, the beach and the light to stay. All four strangers were removed, the shoreline and the water were rebuilt where they had been, and her face, her dress and the sunrise did not change. Words are quicker when everyone behind the subject should go. 13 seconds.

Tips for removing a person cleanly

Circle the whole person, feet to head, and a little of the ground around them. A ring that cuts through someone leaves a piece of them behind.

Say what must stay. "Keep everyone else, the beach and the light exactly the same" stops the model from changing the faces and the colours you want to keep.

The model redraws the whole picture, so look at the faces and the hands of the people you kept. If something moved, run it again; the same words can give a slightly different picture.

A person who overlaps another person is the hard case. Circle only the one to remove and say who stays; if a trace is left, circle it again on the result.

Only edit photos you own or have the right to edit.

Remove person from photo questions

How do I remove a person from a photo?

Upload the photo, press Draw to edit and circle the person, then write one line such as "Remove the person I circled" and press Generate. About 15 to 25 seconds later you have the photo back with the person gone and the background filled in. You can also skip the circle and describe who to remove.

Can I remove just one person from a group?

Yes, that is what the circle is for. In our test one man out of four people in the background was removed and the other three stayed where they were.

How much does it cost?

5 credits a photo at 1K. New accounts get 5 free credits, enough for one photo. After that, credits come in one-time packs from $4.99, never expire, and there is no subscription. A photo that fails costs nothing.

Does it change the rest of the photo?

The model redraws the whole picture, so look at the faces, hands and colours. In our two tests the people we kept and the light were unchanged. If something moved, run it again.

Does it work on phone photos?

Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP from your phone; the drawing works with a finger. Photos up to 20 MB are accepted.

What if a trace of the person is left?

Press Edit this result to send the picture back in, circle what is left and run it again. Turning Mode to Careful, which costs the same, can help in crowded scenes.

Which model does it use?

GPT Image 2.6 Flare by OpenAI, the model that reads the marks you draw. It is selected for you.

Is it free?

No, but the first photo is covered by the 5 free credits a new account gets.

Is this the official GPT Image 2.6 site?

AI Photo Editor is an independent site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the company that makes the model; model names belong to their owners.
