Remove Your Ex From a Photo With the Object Eraser
You look amazing in this photo – perfect lighting, flawless outfit, the best version of you. There’s just one problem: your ex is in it. Maybe the photo captures a special memory you want to keep, just not with them in the frame. Or maybe it’s a personal milestone you’re proud of . . . with them awkwardly lurking in the background. Whatever the case, you don’t have to delete the photo. With the AI Object Eraser, you can seamlessly remove your ex and keep your favorite moments intact.
More Than Just Ex-Removal
Beyond breakups, the Object Eraser is perfect for cleaning up distractions like photobombers, clutter, street signs, and more. It’s the easiest way to refocus your image on what truly matters. As one of the most powerful tools in the Photo Editor, the Object Eraser makes it easy to reclaim your photos with just a few clicks.
How Does the Object Eraser Work?
While BeFunky’s Clone tool is great for precise edits, it relies on having a similar background to copy from, which can be tough in busy scenes. The Object Eraser goes a step further by using AI to intelligently fill in the space left behind. It’s one of the most powerful tools in the Photo Editor, and the only one of its kind that works seamlessly with high-resolution images.
How to Remove Your Ex From a Photo
With powerful AI tools, you don’t need advanced photo editing skills to make professional-level edits to your images. Head to the Object Eraser and drag and drop your image onto the canvas to get started.
Pro Tip: When selecting what images are the best to remove your ex from, try and find one that you are not too intertwined in (holding hands, hugging, etc.).
Step 1: Highlight Your Ex
Adjust the Brush Size and carefully paint over your ex. Get close to the edges, and if you overpaint, click on the Erase Selection icon to fine-tune. Need to start over? Click on the Clear icon.
Step 2: Erase Them!
When you're satisfied with your selection, click Erase Object to remove your ex entirely – like they were never there. For more complex backgrounds, you may want to toggle Generative Fill. This option uses AI to produce accurate details to blend seamlessly with foliage, cityscapes, and more.
Step 3: Apply and Save
Once you're happy with your edits click the Apply button. Next, click the Save button at the top of the screen. Choose your preferred save destination and save your image as a high-quality JPG to preserve its clarity.
No More Ex in a Few Simple Steps
That’s it! In seconds, your ex is gone – no awkward cropping, no complex edits. Just a photo you actually want to keep. With the Object Eraser, you can seamlessly erase unwanted people or objects in seconds, leaving you with a photo you actually want to keep.
A Fresh Start for Your Favorite Photos
Not every photo with your ex needs to be tossed. With a little help from the Object Eraser, you can reclaim your best memories. Here are just a few of those.
Celebrate a Personal Achievement
You just moved into your first solo apartment. It's a major milestone and a fresh start. But every photo from that day shows your ex helping you carry boxes or standing by your side. With the Object Eraser, you can remove them from the frame and keep the focus on what you accomplished. Whether it's moving day, a graduation, or finishing a race, it’s your achievement – and your photo should show it.
Revive Travel Memories
You had the trip of a lifetime, but now the photos sting because your ex is in them. With the Object Eraser, you can remove them from beach shots, scenic overlooks, or that one amazing pasta dinner in Italy. Keep the memories, minus the baggage of a past relationship.
Reclaim Event Photos
From weddings and family gatherings to holidays and galas, group photos often include people who are no longer part of your life. Instead of cropping them out or hiding the photo away, use the Object Eraser to clean up the scene and preserve the moment for yourself. After all, you spent all that time getting dressed up.
Erase Your Ex, Keep the Rest
Your photos should reflect the moments that matter – not the people you’ve outgrown. With the AI Object Eraser, you can remove anyone (or anything) that doesn’t belong, all in just a few clicks. Whether you’re updating your social media feed, preserving a milestone, or tidying up old memory, this powerful tool makes it easy to take control of your pictures. Try it today and give your photos a fresh start!
