Use Retouch to remove unwanted objects from a photo. It’s available in two places: as a dedicated Retouch tool for new designs and as a feature within the editor, so you can use it when working on either new or existing designs.

To use Retouch, choose a brush size and paint over the area you want to remove. Photoroom will erase that portion of the image and automatically blend the background to fill the space.
