Cleanup

What Cleanup is

Cleanup is a web image editor for removing unwanted objects, people, text, and watermarks. Brush over the area to be removed, and AI inpainting rebuilds it. Undo, before-and-after comparison, and zoom help with detailed edits. You can load JPG, PNG, and WebP images and export the finished image as a full-resolution PNG.

Cleanup runs in a browser, including mobile browsers on iOS and Android, where its brush is designed for touch input. It requires no app or browser extension installation. The Free plan costs nothing, needs no account, has no trial period, and adds no watermark. The site says it has no per-account quota, though very heavy automated use may be rate limited.

Image processing takes place on Cleanup’s servers: the image and selected area go to its processing API, and the edited image returns to the browser. Photos may be held briefly during processing and in short-lived diagnostic logs, but are not kept as a permanent archive. The maker says uploads are not added to a public gallery or used for marketing without written permission, and it does not claim ownership of uploads or edits. Cleanup uses Google Analytics cookies that send Google visitors’ IP addresses, pages visited, and general device and browser information. It does not add objects from text prompts or provide skin smoothing, color grading, exposure adjustment, or cropping.

Who it suits

Cleanup suits people who want to remove distractions from travel photos, product images, street scenes, landmarks, property listings, interiors, or portraits. It is also suited to mobile users who want to edit in a browser without installing an app or extension.

Limits

The Free plan costs nothing and has no per-account quota, though very heavy automated use may be rate limited. It does not provide text-prompt object addition, skin smoothing, color grading, exposure adjustment, or cropping.

Getting started

1. Open https://cleanup.photo/ in a browser.
2. Load a JPG, PNG, or WebP image.
3. Brush over the unwanted area.
4. Use undo, zoom, or before-and-after comparison while editing.
5. Export the edited image as a full-resolution PNG.

Verdict

Choose Cleanup for browser-based removal of unwanted image details, especially if you want to work on a phone without installing software. Look elsewhere if you need object generation from text prompts, skin smoothing, color grading, exposure adjustment, or cropping.
