What is Cleanup.pictures?

Cleanup.pictures is a browser retouching tool built on one interaction: brush over a person, object, text or blemish, and the model fills the gap with plausible background. It grew out of the ClipDrop team's experiments and has stayed deliberately minimal, with a side-by-side original view, adjustable brush size and instant results. Because it fills rather than clones, it copes with textured and gradient backgrounds better than old stamp tools. Resolution is capped on the free tier, and there is an API for automated cleanup in pipelines.

FAQ

How well does it handle busy backgrounds?

On grass, gravel, water and gradients the fill usually looks convincing at normal viewing size. Large removals on structured backgrounds such as brickwork or tiled floors are where seams and repeated patterns start to show.

Are the images stored on a server?

Processing happens in the cloud, so images are uploaded while you edit. The free tier is fine for casual photos, but check the privacy terms before using it on unpublished client work or personal documents.

Is there a way to automate it?

Yes, an API is offered for programmatic cleanup, which is how it is used for batch product images. API usage is billed separately from the browser tool under its own credit pricing.
