Remove unwanted objects from photos

ClearPix removes unwanted objects, people, stickers and clutter from photos for free, entirely in the browser. Paint over the object, whether a passerby, a trash bin or a sticker, and AI inpainting rebuilds the background behind it at full resolution from the surrounding pixels. The photo is never uploaded: the model downloads once, is cached, and runs on the user's own device, even offline. No sign-up, no export watermark, and the rest of the picture passes through untouched.

Erase photobombers, power lines, stickers and other unwanted objects from your photos with AI inpainting — entirely in your browser. Free, no sign-up, and your photo never leaves your device.

How does in-browser watermark removal work?

ClearPix uses MI-GAN, an inpainting neural network from Picsart Research (ICCV 2023), compiled to ONNX and executed by ONNX Runtime Web. Automatic detection combines a text-detection model with visual heuristics; when you confirm the boxes (or paint your own mask), the model analyzes the surrounding texture and synthesizes what should be underneath — on your own GPU via WebGPU, or on your CPU via WebAssembly. The image data never travels over the network, which makes this the most private way to clean up your photos.

Tips for best results

  • Let auto-detect run first — dismiss any wrong boxes with one click, then hit Remove.
  • When brushing, cover the whole watermark, slightly overlapping its edges.
  • Use a smaller brush for thin text and a larger one for logos.
  • Run the remover twice over stubborn areas — each pass refines the fill.

Only process images you own or have explicit permission to modify. Removing a watermark does not change the copyright status of the underlying content.

How it works

1

Upload your photo

Drop the JPG or PNG you want to clean up. It opens locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.

2

Paint over the object

Brush over the unwanted object, person or sticker. Zoom in and resize the brush for a snug mask; mark several regions in one go.

3

Download the clean photo

AI inpainting rebuilds the background behind each marked region at full resolution. Touch up leftovers with the brush and re-run.

Your file never leaves your device. All AI processing runs locally in your browser on your own hardware — there is no upload, no queue, and no copy stored on any server. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and everything still works.
