Cleanup.pictures
Brush over what you want gone. Nothing else to learn.
FreemiumFrom $5/mo
Overview
Cleanup.pictures removes unwanted objects from photographs with a single brush and no other interface to speak of. You paint over the tourist, the power line, or the watermark, and the model reconstructs what should be behind it. There are no layers, settings, or account required to start.
That simplicity is the entire proposition. For quick removals against reasonably uniform backgrounds it is faster than opening Photoshop, and the free tier handles most casual needs. Complex reconstructions are where it reaches its limits.

Requires no account or install for basic use.
Reconstruction quality is strong on skies, walls, water, and grass.
The free tier is usable rather than a teaser.
An API is available for programmatic object removal.
