Remove a Shadow from a Photo You Upload
Remove shadow from photo tries to lighten a shadow on the picture you upload. You do not write a sentence, and you do not paint a mask. The free preview is watermarked. Two previews per device each day, and four per network. No account.
It is a generated edit, not a guarantee. Soft, even cast shadows and a hand shadow on a document are the better cases. On a document the paper tone can come back lighter or whiter than the original. A hard-edged dark shadow, a shadow woven into hair, fabric, or printed text, or a shadow across most of the frame often stays or looks smeared. Colors, small details, text, and the face can change. The framing can shift slightly. Compare the preview with your photo before you pay.
$1.99, or 1 HD credit, unlocks the file that was already made. It does not run the model again. A person you want gone is remove a person from a photo. Letters and captions are the text remover. If you would rather paint one spot yourself, use the photo eraser. A bright reflection on glass, a screen, or eyeglass lenses is remove glare from a photo. A photo that is dark or underexposed, rather than covered by a shadow, is brighten a photo.
This Page vs. Painting the Shadow
| This page | Photo eraser | People remover | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you do | Upload, then one click | Paint the spot | Paint the person |
| What stays | The edit can change details outside the shadow | Only the painted area is filled | The person is the area you paint |
| Better case | Soft or even shadows | A shadow you can cover with the brush | A person, including their shadow |
| HD price | $1.99 for this file | $1.99 for that fill | $1.99 for that fill |
Each unlocks a file that was already made. None of them promises the photo will look untouched.
When a Shadow Is the Thing You Want Gone
A document photo
A hand or phone shadow across a page. Even shade lifts more cleanly than a hard black edge across the letters.
A product on a table
A broad shadow falling across a product or tabletop. Small, tight contact shadows right under an object often stay as they are, and the product itself can change.
A face
A soft shadow on a cheek or forehead. The face can still change. Look at the preview before you pay. This does not remove the person.
A shadow you can paint
If one dark patch is all that matters, the [photo eraser](/photo-eraser-online-free) lets you brush that spot and leave the rest alone.
What This Shadow Removal Is Not
The preview is free and watermarked, up to 1024px on the long side. The paid file is the image the model returned for this one photo, with no ZeroBG watermark.
- Soft, even shadows and a hand shadow on a document are the better cases. A hard-edged dark shadow, a shadow mixed into texture or printed text, or a shadow across most of the photo often stays or looks smeared.
- Colors, small details, text, and the face can change. The framing can shift slightly. It is not a promise that a document stays readable, that a face stays the same, or that a scan will pass any review.
- There is no box for your own sentence. Upload only a photo you have permission to edit.
- Photos are sent in at up to 1440px on the long side. JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25MB. The HD download is that result's real width and height, which the page shows. It is not your original pixel size.
- $1.99, or 1 HD credit, unlocks the stored file. It does not run the model again. This device gets 2 free previews a day. The same network gets 4. A signed-in account gets 2 a day, and those still count on the same network. A failure before the model starts does not count as a try. A run that reached the model still counts as a try even if it fails, up to 4 tries on this device and 8 on the same network. The try and the free preview both reset at 00:00 UTC.
- A person is remove a person from a photo. Letters are the text remover. Painting one spot is the photo eraser.
