Quick take
- Upload, brush over the thing you don't want, download. No account needed.
- Free is unlimited but exports at 720 pixels. Pro is $5 a month or $36 a year for full resolution.
- Fine for small objects on simple backgrounds; large objects and busy scenes leave smudges.
- Owned by Clipdrop, which Jasper bought in 2024. Clipdrop Pro bundles this with background and resize tools.
What is Cleanup.pictures?
Cleanup.pictures does one thing: you brush over something you don't want in a photo, whether a person, a power line, a logo, some text or a blemish, and it removes it and fills in the background. There's no account needed to start and nothing to learn. It's run by Clipdrop, which is now part of Jasper, and the same removal model is sold as an API for developers.
Pick it when you need a quick fix on a handful of images, such as a stray bin in a listing photo or a photobomber in a team shot. Photoshop's Generative Fill does a better job on tricky areas and Photoroom or Picsart bundle removal with many other tools, but both need an account and cost more. If you need removal plus backgrounds and other edits, Clipdrop Pro bundles them.
The catch: free exports are capped at 720 pixels, too small for print or large web images. It struggles with big objects and busy backgrounds, leaving smudges, and the site itself has barely changed in a couple of years since it was folded into Clipdrop and then Jasper.
