TOOL SCOPE

A person is more than a generic object

A person can cover complex background, cast a shadow, or appear in reflections, so this workflow is deliberately separated from object removal.

IDENTITY

Main subject

The face, pose, and clothing of the person you want to keep should not change.

SCENE

Background behind the person

Architecture, ground, landscape, and surfaces are rebuilt from the surrounding context.

LIGHT

Shadows and reflections

If the removed person creates a shadow or reflection, inspect those areas separately.

FAQ · REMOVE-PERSON

Frequently asked questions

Clear boundaries for this tool and what to expect from the result.

Can it remove a background passerby?

Yes, that is the primary intent. Results are best when the scene behind the person is visually inferable.

Will other faces change?

The workflow explicitly asks the model to preserve the main subject and all other people.

Can I remove one person from a group?

Yes, although overlapping people create more hidden content that must be reconstructed.

What about shadows and reflections?

AI tries to account for them, but glass, mirrors, and complex shadows deserve an extra check.

How is this different from Cleanup?

Cleanup targets many small distractions; this page targets a specific person.
