04 — PHOTO CLEANUP GUIDE
Choose the right edit for every photo
A cleaner image does not always require a complicated editor. Cleanly separates the two jobs people need most: rebuilding a selected part of a photo and isolating the main subject from its background. Pick the tool that matches the result you want, make a focused correction, and keep the original dimensions when you export.
Remove people, objects, and distractions
Use object removal when something should disappear but the rest of the scene should remain. It works well for passers-by in travel photos, signs, cables, small marks, street clutter, and objects near the edge of a frame. Click a clear subject or paint the complete unwanted area, then review the rebuilt background before downloading.
Create a transparent or simple background
Use background removal when you want to keep the main person or product and replace everything behind it. Export a transparent PNG for design work, choose white for a clean catalog image, or apply a solid color for profiles and listings. Keep and Remove brushes let you correct difficult edges before export.
Edit privately on your own device
Your original photo, selection, and result stay in your browser while these tools process the image. There is no account to create and no photo library stored by Cleanly. Your browser may cache the files needed for processing so future edits start faster; that cache can be cleared in your browser settings.
Tips for a cleaner result
- For object removal, cover the full object and a narrow margin around its edge so no outline remains.
- Remove one small distraction at a time when several objects overlap or sit on different textures.
- For background removal, begin with a well-lit subject that is visually distinct from the background.
- Inspect hair, fingers, glass, and narrow gaps at full size, then refine them with the Keep or Remove brush.
Why the selection matters
Object removal has to imagine what was hidden behind the selected area. A precise selection gives it a clear boundary and more nearby texture to work with. If a person covers a wall, road, or sky, select the complete silhouette and a small margin. If the target crosses several very different surfaces, try separate passes instead of asking one large edit to reconstruct everything at once.
Review at the size you will use
A result that looks clean in a small preview may still contain soft edges, repeated patterns, or a faint outline. Use the before-and-after control, inspect the image at its natural size, and check straight lines around the edited area. For a background cutout, preview both transparent and solid backgrounds because light and dark colors reveal different edge problems.
