Use Photoroom's Retouch tool to remove objects from photos and other images. It works like an eraser:
You "paint" over the object you want to remove
Photoroom erases it and blends the background so it looks like the object was never there.
Note: Retouch is available as a dedicated standalone tool (for new designs) and as a feature within the editor (for existing designs). In this article, we cover both ways of using Retouch for erasing.

Use Retouch to erase

Select the Erase tab.

Tip: Choose a brush size that will let you paint over the object you want to erase without painting over other objects.

Photoroom may shrink the object or only partially remove it rather than erasing it completely. If this happens, keep painting over it until it's gone.
When you are happy with the image, select Done.

[Optional] Use the editor to make further changes, such as adding text or graphics.
