Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 147 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade
Cleanup.pictures removes unwanted objects, people, text, logos and defects from a photo using AI inpainting: paint over the area and the tool fills in the background. Export is capped at 720p on the free version and unlimited on Pro. It also offers an inpainting API with usage-based pricing.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Cleanup.pictures, taken from its own pages and our grades.
If you need full resolution, or the background tools that sit in its sister product, you're paying.

The report card
Best for wiping an object or watermark out of a photo
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Cleanup.pictures is for
- Fits if you only need to remove a stray object or a watermark now and then
- Works for people happy with 720p exports, since that part is free
Who it is not for
- Tight if you need print or full-size output: free exports stop at 720p
- Not for you if you want to share one subscription, as each Pro plan is for one user
- Too light for background removal or generative fill, which the site sends you to Clipdrop Pro for, from $11
- Watch out: refunds are full within 14 days and prorated after, and the site calls them rare
Good to know
Good for
- Quick one-off photo cleanups without learning an editor
- Real-estate and product photographers removing clutter
Worth knowing
- Free exports are capped at 720p; higher resolution needs Pro.
- Each Pro subscription is for a single user.
- The pricing section also points to Clipdrop Pro, starting at $11, for background tools and generative fill.
- Refunds are described as rare after purchase: full within 14 days, prorated after.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
You could make this
What Cleanup.pictures does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
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.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Cleanup.pictures’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
