What AI Image Cleaner is best for
AI Image Cleaner is deliberately narrow: it removes what you paint over and fills the gap, rather than trying to auto-detect objects or enhance the whole photo. You upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, brush the region to erase with eraser, undo and redo for precision, run the clean, compare before and after, and download. The fill is large-mask inpainting, and the site cites the LaMa research paper by arXiv link rather than describing it vaguely. Separate landing pages cover the four common jobs - removing a person, an object, text, or a watermark - using the same workbench. Guests can run free cleans in the browser through a free queue; signing in with Google grants 10 starter credits valid for a year plus 4 more each day, and each successful clean costs 2 credits, with failed jobs refunding automatically. Paid plans are Basic at $6 a month for 60 credits, about 30 removals, and Pro at $12 for 200 credits, about 100, with annual billing a third cheaper and credit packs that never expire. Every plan exports up to 2,048 pixels. The documentation is unusually candid: the comparison table admits Photoshop Content-Aware Fill is good, the FAQ warns that masks covering most of the frame leave too little context for a natural fill, and the terms and privacy pages publish a retention table, a 7-day refund guarantee for first-time subscribers, hashed guest IP addresses for quota enforcement, and a statement that uploads are not sold or used to train third-party models. Outputs belong to you. The interface is English and Chinese.
- The cheapest credible tier in this category - $6 a month for 30 removals, with a free daily allowance underneath it
- Honest documentation: it cites its research, admits where Photoshop is better, and explains when the fill will fail
- Manual masking is the right default for thin wires, partial people and mixed clutter, where auto-detect usually fails
- A concrete refund policy: 7-day guarantee for first-time subscribers under 20 percent usage, unused packs refundable within 7 days, pro-rata for outages over 72 hours
- Privacy detail others skip: about 30 days for signed-in history, guest artifacts expiring after processing, guest IPs stored hashed
- Outputs belong to you for any lawful purpose under the terms
- Exports are capped at 2,048 pixels on every plan including Pro, which rules out print work and large product images
- No auto-detect at all - every removal starts with painting a mask by hand, which is slower for simple one-tap jobs
- The operator is given only as AI Image Cleaner Editorial, with no company name, address or jurisdiction
- English and Chinese only, with no Korean interface
- Monthly subscription credits do not roll over to the next month
- Watermark removal is lawful only on images you own or are authorised to edit, as the site itself states - removing someone else's watermark is infringement
