Some of the best photos have one person too many in them: a passer-by mid-stride, a stranger's shoulder, someone who is no longer part of the story. Remove a Person takes them out. Describe who to remove — by position, clothing or role — and the Studio erases them and fills the space naturally with what the scene would have shown: the wall, the beach, the crowd texture, the light and perspective of the surroundings. Everyone else in the frame is untouched.
Descriptions work best when they are unambiguous. "The person on the far left", "the man in the red jacket" and "everyone in the background" are clear instructions; "the tall one" is not. Where the removed person overlapped someone else — an arm on a shoulder, a hand in frame — the Studio reconstructs the covered parts. It works on travel photos, group shots, wedding candids and street scenes, and it keeps the original aspect ratio.
A Standard run costs 4 credits and finishes in seconds; Pro and Max finishes reconstruct complex backgrounds such as foliage, brick and crowds with more fidelity. For objects rather than people, Remove an Object is the companion tool; for adding someone back in, Add People does the reverse. Follow a removal with Photo Retouch to even out the frame, and compare against the original before downloading.

Good to know
What if the person is standing in front of me?
The Studio rebuilds the parts of you that were covered, based on what is visible. Small overlaps are handled well; a person hiding half of you is harder and worth checking closely.
Can I remove several people at once?
Yes. Describe them together — "the two people on the right" or "everyone except the couple in the middle".
Will the background look repeated or blurry where they stood?
The fill is built to match texture, perspective and light, so brick stays brick and sand stays sand. Pro finish improves complex backgrounds.
Does it work on video?
No — it works on still photos. Animate the finished frame afterwards if you want a clip.
Can I try Remove a Person without paying?
Yes. A new account comes with 4 free credits — one Standard run of Remove a Person or any other tool — and no card is needed.
