AI Image Cleaner

What is AI Image Cleaner?

AI Image Cleaner is a browser-based tool for removing unwanted elements from photos. According to its About page, it removes people, objects, text, and watermarks by letting users paint a brush mask over the region to erase; AI inpainting then fills the area so the background looks continuous. The homepage describes it as a "free online AI image cleaner" that works in the browser with no install and no credit card required.

The product is positioned for precise, mask-guided removal rather than one-click auto-detection of every object. It is built for cleanup tasks such as clearing photobombers, wires, stamps, or small clutter.

How AI Image Cleaner works

The homepage outlines a three-step workflow:

1. Upload your photo – Drop a JPEG or PNG into the workbench. Oversized edges are resized automatically so processing stays reliable.
2. Paint the erase mask – Brush only what should disappear, such as people, clutter, logos, or text. Eraser, undo, and redo tools help keep edges precise.
3. Run clean and download – Start cleaning, review the before/after preview, then download the result.

The About page adds that users paint a brush mask over what should go, and AI inpainting fills the area. The homepage notes that the fill uses AI inpainting "in the spirit of large-mask research such as LaMa" and links to an arXiv paper. Failed jobs refund credits.

Pricing

The pricing page states that each clean uses 2 credits. Free options include free online trial cleans in the browser, or waiting in the free queue. Signing in enables instant cleans with credits: new accounts receive 10 signup credits (about 5 cleans), and signed-in users receive 4 daily credits (about 2 cleans).

Paid plans are billed in USD with secure checkout and can be cancelled anytime:

• Basic – $6/month, 60 credits per month (includes 30 AI removals per month). Includes brush and auto mask tools, objects/text/watermark removal, export up to 2048px, standard processing speed, and email support.
• Pro – $12/month, 200 credits per month (includes 100 AI removals per month). Includes the same features plus priority processing queue and priority email support.

Annual billing is available and the pricing page indicates "Save 33%" for annual plans. Credit packs are also offered; the page states that credit pack credits never expire. Subscription credits refresh each billing cycle—monthly plans monthly, annual plans receive the full year upfront. Monthly credits do not roll over; annual credits stay valid for the full subscription term. Upgrades take effect immediately, while downgrades or cancellations apply at the end of the current billing period. Credits closest to expiry are used first, then later-expiring subscription credits, and permanent credit-pack balance last. Payment is processed through Waffo Pancake, a third-party checkout; card details never touch the company's servers.

Common use cases

The homepage highlights several examples:

• People – Clear people from the background, such as a tourist photobomb on a landmark shot, while keeping monument edges and restoring a clean skyline without cloning by hand.
• Object – Remove items like power lines across a landscape; the model fills texture so the horizon reads natural again.
• Text – Remove a date stamp in a corner by covering the stamp and surrounding pixels so the fill matches grain and color of the original print scan.
• Watermark – Remove watermarks using the same brush-mask workflow.

The FAQ notes that anything you can clearly brush works best—people, wires, stamps, or small clutter. Huge regions that cover most of the frame leave little context for a natural fill.

Limitations

• The tool is designed for mask-guided removal, not one-click auto-detection of every object. Users must paint the mask themselves.
• Very large regions covering most of the frame may not produce a natural fill due to lack of context.
• Only clean photos you have the right to edit. The FAQ states you may only process images you own or are authorized to edit, and must not use the tool to infringe copyrights, trademarks, or other rights.
• Uploads are processed to deliver results and operate quotas; the FAQ says images are not sold, and refers to the Privacy page for retention details.
• Free usage involves either trial cleans, a free queue, or credits; instant cleans require signing in.
• Monthly subscription credits do not roll over to the next month.
• Export is limited to 2048px according to the pricing page.

Summary

AI Image Cleaner is a browser-based, brush-mask AI inpainting tool for removing people, objects, text, and watermarks from photos. It offers a free trial and credit-based paid plans starting at $6/month, with a Pro tier at $12/month. The workflow is upload, paint the mask, run clean, and download. It is best suited for precise, small-to-medium cleanup tasks where manual mask control is preferred over automatic object detection.
