How to remove your ex-girlfriend from a photo

To remove your ex-girlfriend from a photo, upload it to Remove Your Ex and describe her, like “the woman in the green dress on the right”. There’s no brush or mask: you say who should go and download the edit.

Describe her

For a photo of the two of you, a few words about her are enough:

1. Upload the photo. JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC all work, up to 20 MB each.
2. Under “Who should disappear?”, describe her in your own words, something like “the woman in the green dress”.
3. Download the edit when it’s ready.

Each photo costs 1 credit, including one free second edit if the first isn’t right. If an edit fails, the credit comes back to your account automatically.

Photos with several women

Trips with friends, family dinners, and nights out often have people crowded together, so “the woman” may not be enough. Describe her the way you’d point her out to a friend:

• By clothing: “the woman in the green dress”, “the person in the yellow raincoat”.
• By hair: “the woman with short red hair”, “the one with the long braid”.
• By position: “the woman on the far right”, “the second person from the left”.

Combining two of these is clearest: “the woman in the green dress on the right”. Stick to what you can see in the photo rather than names.

Selfies taken at arm’s length

Arm’s-length selfies are tricky. Faces are close to the camera and close to each other, and one of you is usually holding the phone. If she took the selfie, her arm runs out of the frame, so removing her means rebuilding the edge of the photo too.

A few tips for selfies:

• Choose the ones with a little gap between your faces. Cheek-to-cheek shots are the hardest for any tool.
• Be specific when you overlap. “The woman on the left in the striped scarf” gives clearer edges to work from than “the woman”.
• Use the free second edit. If an arm or a strand of hair is left behind, try again with a clearer description.

You can upload up to 10 photos per batch, so a run of selfies from the same day can go together.

Photos from the same day

Most camera rolls come in runs: ten photos at the same beach, a dozen from one dinner. That helps. One description covers the whole batch, so photos from one day, where she’s wearing the same outfit, can go together.

1. Pick up to 10 photos from the same day or place.
2. Describe her by that day’s outfit, like “the woman in the white sun hat”.
3. Download the edits, then use the free second edit on any that need another try.

If she changed clothes halfway through the trip, split the photos into two batches with a description for each.

What about your phone’s free eraser?

iPhone Clean Up, Google Photos Magic Eraser, and Samsung Object Eraser are free and already on many phones. Each asks you to tap, brush, or circle the person yourself, and each edits one photo at a time. They do well with a small figure in the background. With a close-up selfie, where she fills half the frame, the fill can smear or warp.

Try them first if the photo is simple. For the step-by-step instructions for each one, see how to remove your ex from a photo.

Keeping what matters

That photo still holds the view, the trip, and you on a good day. Taking her out of it isn’t about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about keeping the parts that are still yours. Your originals and edits are stored privately for 90 days, then deleted.

There are also guides for vacation and trip photos, a photo for your dating profile, group and wedding photos, and for deciding whether to delete, hide, or edit photos of your ex.
