Cleanup.pictures removes objects, people, text and blemishes from a photo: you paint over the bit, and it fills in the background. The free version has no image limit, but exports stop at 720p. If you need full resolution, or the background tools that sit in its sister product, you're paying. - **Value for money: A.** $3 a month billed yearly ($36 a year), against $8.33 for the cheaper quarter of AI image tools. Monthly billing is $5, still low. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Unlimited images for free, so one person can live on it. The catch is that free exports are capped at 720p. - **Features: C.** Object, person, text, logo and watermark removal, defect retouching and an API. It does that one job fully, but it's a smaller job than the whole category, and background tools live in Clipdrop. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. It's a web page where you paint over what you want gone, with nothing to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with an inpainting API. No desktop or phone app, and no list of integrations. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Cleanup.pictures's own pages on 13 November 2026.

You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $36 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
