# Remove Your Ex Review A browser-based AI tool that removes any person from a photo using plain-language descriptions, no masking required. ## Editor's Score: 66/100 Ease of use is the clear strength: no masking, plain-language targeting, browser-only with HEIC support, and a free second edit per photo make this one of the lowest-friction person-removal tools available. Capability scores in the mid-teens because the tool does exactly one thing and has no answer for multi-person removal in a single pass, no batch workflow, and a hard 20-edit daily cap; Canva covers adjacent ground for users already on a design subscription. Value is weak: the single-credit price of $2.99 per photo is steep for casual use, and the absence of any free trial means buyers must commit money before seeing a result on their own images. Delivery takes a hit because no independent user review corpus was found to validate output quality claims, the 90-day server storage of personal photos is a real concern for the tool's core audience, and the credit-refund policy (capped at three reports per 30 days) limits recourse for users who hit repeated failures. ## Pros - No masking or brushing required: plain-language person selection works for complex multi-person shots where you need to keep some people and remove others. - Credit-based pricing with no expiry and automatic credit refunds for failed edits reduces the risk of paying for a result that does not work. - Accepts HEIC files directly from iPhone without conversion, and processes up to 10 photos per upload session. ## Cons - No free tier and no free trial: new accounts start with zero credits, so buyers must pay before seeing a single result on their own photos. - The 20-edit-per-day cap and single-person-removal focus mean the tool cannot handle bulk cleanup jobs or remove multiple people from one photo in a single operation. - Photos are routed through Google Gemini on Vertex AI and stored on Remove Your Ex servers for up to 90 days, which is a meaningful privacy consideration for anyone uploading sensitive personal images. ## Pricing Paid. - Quick Fix: $2.99 - Breakup Bundle: $9.99 - Deep Clean: $24.99 Pricing reflects what we saw at the time of review (2026-10).

It does one thing and keeps the workflow genuinely simple, but at $2.99 per single photo it gets expensive fast for anyone with more than a few edits to make, and Canva's broader AI toolkit covers similar ground for users who already pay for a design subscription. Anyone needing batch processing, fine-grained inpainting control, or a free trial should look elsewhere. Best for: Casual users with a few personal photos to clean up quickly Not for: Power users or anyone needing batch processing, free trials, or manual inpainting control ## Overview Remove Your Ex does exactly one thing: it takes a person out of a photo. You upload an image, tell it who to remove in plain language ("the guy", "the girl", "the man on the right in the grey hoodie"), and it returns the edited photo with the background filled in. No brush, no mask, no layer panel. The edit runs through Google's Gemini image model on Vertex AI, which handles the background reconstruction automatically. What separates it from general-purpose AI image editors is the deliberate narrowness of scope. There is no crop tool, no filter, no color adjustment. The entire product is built around a single user action: remove this person. That focus makes onboarding nearly frictionless, but it also means the tool has no answer for anything adjacent to its core job. Pricing is credit-based with no subscription. A single credit costs $2.99 and edits one photo, including one free second attempt if the first result is wrong. Buying in bulk drops the per-photo cost to $0.67 (15-credit pack at $9.99) or $0.50 (50-credit pack at $24.99). Credits never expire, and failed edits return the credit automatically. The daily cap is 20 edits, and you can upload up to 10 photos at a time in JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or HEIC format up to 20 MB each. One privacy detail worth noting: photos and removal instructions are sent to Google Gemini through Vertex AI to process the edit, and originals plus results are stored for up to 90 days before automatic deletion. Google does not use the photos to train its models, according to the site, but users uploading sensitive personal images should read the terms before buying credits. ## Who should use it Remove Your Ex fits someone who has a small number of personal photos to fix and no interest in learning photo editing software. A person clearing out a few hundred vacation shots after a breakup, or someone who wants a clean solo photo from a group picture, will find the three-step flow genuinely fast. The ability to describe the target in plain words ("the woman on the left in the red jacket") is useful when multiple people are in the frame and you need to keep some of them. Anyone who needs more than occasional edits will feel the per-credit cost quickly. At $2.99 per photo on the single-credit plan, twenty photos costs $59.80 before tax. Professional photographers, social media managers, or anyone running a content workflow should look at Canva instead, which bundles AI-powered background and object removal inside a broader design subscription that already covers many adjacent tasks. ## FAQ Q: Is there a free trial or free credits when I sign up? A: No. Creating an account is free, but new accounts start with zero credits. You must buy a credit pack before editing any photos. Q: What happens if the edit does not remove the person correctly? A: Every photo includes one free second edit. If the person is still visible after a paid edit, you can report it and get the credit refunded automatically, up to three times per 30-day period. Q: How much does it cost to remove a person from 50 photos? A: The Deep Clean pack covers 50 photos for $24.99 total, which works out to $0.50 per photo. Buying single credits at $2.99 each would cost $149.50 for the same volume. Q: Can I remove one person from a photo while keeping others in it? A: Yes. Use a specific description such as "the man on the right in the grey hoodie" to target one person. The tool is designed to act on the described person only, leaving others untouched. Q: What file formats and sizes does it accept? A: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC files up to 20 MB each. You can upload up to 10 photos at a time and make up to 20 edits per day. Q: Are my photos used to train AI models? A: According to the site, photos sent to Google Gemini through Vertex AI are not used to train Google's models. Originals and results are stored on Remove Your Ex servers for up to 90 days, then deleted automatically.
