Cleanup.pictures does one job — brush over something in a photo and it disappears — and the LaMa inpainting behind it handles small-to-medium removals convincingly for a free browser tool. It's changed hands twice (Stability acquired parent company InitML in 2023, then sold to Jasper in 2024), which explains why it now sits inside the wider Clipdrop suite rather than standing fully alone.
The free tier is genuinely useful but capped at 720px exports, so anything meant for print or a large screen needs the $5/month Pro plan for full resolution and a better refiner model. The bigger issue isn't the editing — it's the billing: a recurring theme in user complaints is unexpected charges after a forgotten free trial and a cancellation process users describe as hard to reach support about. If you're doing a one-off cleanup, it's fast and free; if you're subscribing, read the trial terms first.
What people say
Cleanup.pictures traces back to InitML, the startup behind Clipdrop; Stability AI acquired the company in February 2023, and Jasper bought it from Stability in February 2024. The tool now operates as the object-removal specialist inside the broader Clipdrop suite, which also includes background removal, upscaling and a web editor.
User feedback on the editing itself is positive and consistent: reviewers on Product Hunt and G2 describe it as easy to remove unwanted objects and defects, with retouching quality comparable to dedicated photo editing software for the kinds of small fixes it's built for — stray objects, text overlays, watermarks, photobombers.
Trustpilot reviews tell a different story on the business side. Recurring complaints describe a €5/month charge with an unclear cancellation path and unresponsive support, users charged around $36 after forgetting to cancel a free trial, and reports of charges appearing on accounts that users say never knowingly signed up for a paid plan. Multiple reviewers specifically flag being unable to reach anyone by email once a charge lands. Some reviews note refunds did eventually come through when support was reached, but getting there was the friction point.
Net effect: the underlying tool earns credit for what it does technically, but the free tier's 720px export cap pushes casual users toward a subscription, and the subscription experience is where the reputation damage concentrates. Worth using for a single free cleanup; worth a second look at terms before entering card details for Pro.
