Screenshot circles and arrows
Erase a temporary annotation from an image you created. Where the mark crosses a button or word, the generated fill may not reproduce the original interface or text.
AI photo brush
Remove scribbles from a photo with a precise brush.
Clear a doodle, circle, or arrow added to a photo or screenshot you own. Trace the visible marks and let AI rebuild the selected strip. This can tidy an image, but opaque scribbles cannot be reversed to reveal exact text or details underneath.

What to brush
Trace every stroke, including small detached dots and soft marker edges. Leave gaps between strokes unselected when those areas are already clean.

When to use this cleanup
Pen marks on a personal photo
Clean thin doodles on a scan or saved picture. Start with marks over open background, where there is enough visual context to review the reconstruction.
How to remove scribbles from photo
- 01
Choose the marked image
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP within 10 MB and 16 megapixels. Use an unmarked source instead if you still have one.
- 02
Trace the added strokes
Set a small brush and cover each circle, arrow, line, or dot. Include soft edges without filling a large clean area between the strokes.
- 03
Inspect nearby details
Run the removal and look for broken image edges or invented writing. Download the edited PNG only after checking the repaired region.
Make your selection count
Follow lines rather than boxing the mark
A circle does not require selecting everything inside it. Trace its circumference to preserve more of the original content in the middle.
Treat crossed-out text as missing information
An opaque mark can destroy the text beneath it in a flattened image. AI output is not a reliable method to recover names, numbers, or document wording.
Questions about this cleanup
Can it reveal text under a black scribble?
No. An opaque scribble replaces the underlying pixels. The tool may invent shapes or letters, but they cannot be treated as the original wording.
Should I paint the whole inside of a circle?
Only if that area also needs removal. For a simple annotation circle, trace the visible line and keep the clean content inside it unmarked.
Can I clean handwritten marks from a scan?
You can upload a scan as a supported image and mark local strokes. The editor does not automatically preserve printed text, tables, or document layout; inspect any intersecting content carefully.
