Remove Anything

The ultimate cleanup tool for your images. WaveSpeed's "Remove Anything" technology combines advanced segmentation with context-aware inpainting. Whether it's a photobomber in a travel shot, a distracting logo, or a cluttered background, erase it instantly. The AI intelligently fills the gap with realistic textures, leaving no trace behind.

Specialized Removal Tools

Different removal tasks require different AI architectures. We host the best model for each specific job.

1. Object Eraser (LaMa / FLUX Fill)

Remove any unwanted object from a photo with a single brush stroke. LaMa (Large Mask Inpainting) reconstructs complex textures and repeating patterns behind the removed area without requiring a text prompt. FLUX Fill adds text-guided inpainting so you can optionally describe what should replace the object. Best for real estate photo cleanup, product photography, and social media editing. Try the Image Eraser free tool instantly, or use Segment Anything to select objects precisely before removal.

2. Background Remover (RMBG / BiRefNet)

Instantly isolate subjects from any background with pixel-perfect edge accuracy. RMBG v2.0 handles hair strands, transparent objects, and complex scenes with a single forward pass. BiRefNet (Bilateral Reference Network) uses bilateral reference features for even finer detail on challenging edges like fur and lace. Best for e-commerce product photos, passport photos, and composite design. Use the Background Remover free tool on WaveSpeed.

3. Text & Watermark Remover

Automatically detect and remove overlaid text, watermarks, timestamps, and logos from images. Combines OCR-based detection with inpainting models to cleanly erase text regions while preserving the underlying image content. Best for cleaning archived photos, restoring scanned documents, and preparing stock images. For broader editing workflows, see Image Editing models. Available on WaveSpeed.

Before & After

See the precision of AI removal in action.

Object Eraser

Remove Tourists from Travel Photos

Brush over unwanted people in landmark photos and LaMa reconstructs the architecture, cobblestones, and sky behind them. Works on crowds of any size without repeated passes.

Background Remover

Product Photo Isolation

Extract products from cluttered backgrounds with pixel-perfect edges — even for transparent bottles, fine jewelry, or fuzzy fabric. Export with a transparent background or swap to a clean studio white.

Watermark Remover

Clean Archival Scans

Strip timestamps, date stamps, and overlaid text from scanned photos or screenshots. The AI detects text regions automatically and inpaints the underlying image content seamlessly.

Q & A

How does "Remove Anything" work?

It uses a process called "Inpainting." First, you mask (highlight) the object you want to remove. Then, a Generative model analyzes the surrounding context and generates new pixels to fill the hole, matching the texture and lighting of the rest of the image.

Can I remove multiple objects at once?

Yes. You can brush over multiple areas (e.g., three different people) in a single request. The API will process all masked areas simultaneously.

Does background removal lower the quality?

No. Our background removal models (like RMBG-1.4) work at the native resolution of your image. We also offer an optional "Alpha Matting" step to ensure edges are soft and natural.

Is there a limit to image size?

Standard plans support images up to 4K resolution (approx. 24 megapixels). For larger files, we offer Enterprise plans for full-resolution processing of large creative assets.

Can I automate this for thousands of images?

Yes. The "Remove Anything" API is designed for batch processing. E-commerce platforms use it to clean up entire product catalogs overnight.
