Object Removal

How the fill works

The model does not leave a hole, and it does not stretch neighboring pixels the way a clone stamp does on a large area. It inpaints: it rebuilds the surface that was covered — sky, wall, table, grass — from the rest of the frame. A small logo on a plain backdrop usually disappears cleanly. A person standing in front of a detailed street is harder, because the hidden surface has more structure to invent.

Upload a JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WEBP up to 10 MB, then mark what should go. The file is sent through Filvo’s API only to generate the result. There is no public gallery and no personal photo library. Saved files do not carry a Filvo watermark on the web preview or on the original HD file.

Describe, brush, or select

Describe is fastest when the thing has a name. On a catalog shot, type “watermark” only if you have the right to edit that image. On a portrait with someone walking through the background, type “person on the left.” On a product table with a leftover mark, type “logo.” Short, concrete phrases work better than a sentence about the whole scene.

Select is the click path. Click the object and the model draws a tight outline. Click again to add another region, then Remove. Use it when the subject is a distinct shape — a bag, a sign, a cup — and you would rather point than name every edge.

Brush is for marks a prompt skips. Paint the pixels of a power line, a thin wire, a stain, or a scratch. The stroke does not have to be perfect, but it should cover the mark rather than a wide halo of good background. You can run one mode, compare, then refine the same photo with another.

Where a second pass is normal

A second pass is expected when the first fill is almost right. Open the compare slider before you save. Hair edges, a shadow that belonged to the object, or a faint repeat of a watermark often need a smaller brush on the leftover pixels.

Some photos will not finish in one clean pass. Complex texture — foliage, brick, patterned fabric — is reconstructed, not copied from a hidden layer, so the fill can look soft. Text printed into cloth or a label is part of the pattern; erasing a word there often smears the weave. A very large hole, such as removing half the frame, does not have enough surrounding surface to rebuild. Crop tighter, or remove a smaller region first.

Use this only on images you have the right to edit. Taking a watermark off a photo you do not own is not what this page is for.

Preview, HD, and the next step

The web export is a preview. Its long edge is capped at 384 pixels so you can judge the fill before you keep the full file. Original HD uses credits. Sign in with Google for 2 credits, then buy credits if you need more full-resolution exports. Pricing lists the current cost of one object-removal pass.

After the shot is clean, cut out the subject or enlarge the photo. Sellers often erase a stray prop, then remove the background. Photographers drop a passerby before they export. Compare both versions in the studio, then save.
