What it can do
Lift screenshot arrows and circles, kid crayon on a family photo, or pen on a scanned print. Brush and eraser share one mask. Several marks in one run are allowed. The composite keeps source pixels wherever the mask is empty.
Brush the mark, then reconstruct the scene
Remove Scribbles from Photo
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP. Brush the scribble, doodle, or screenshot markup. Reconstruct that region from nearby pixels. Download a composite that keeps every unselected pixel.
You choose the mark. The tool does not hunt it.
There is no detector that finds every doodle. An empty brush cannot start a paid run. This is generative reconstruction of a marked region, not forensic recovery of covered true information.
Marked scribbles only
Brush the scribble, reconstruct the scene
Upload one image, brush the doodle, pen mark, or screenshot markup you own the right to edit, then download a composite that keeps every unselected pixel.

Photo-only scope
What This Tool Can and Cannot Do
A marked-region editor reconstructs only the pixels you paint. It does not auto-detect every scribble, and it cannot recover IDs, legal text, or faces that the mark fully covered. Use it on ordinary photographs you may edit.
What it will not claim
It does not recover the true scene, number, or face that a mark fully covered. Residual ink can remain if the mask misses an edge. Output from the model may arrive at 1K. The workbench then composites back to the uploaded size.
What is forbidden
Do not upload passports, IDs, licenses, legal filings, or other identity and safety materials. Do not present the download as proof of what sat under a covered mark.
Three steps
How to Remove Scribbles from Photo Files Online
Start with the sharpest honest file you have. Keep the original. Treat the download as a viewing copy of a reconstructed region, not a recovered original document.
- 01
Upload one supported image
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 5 MB, with each side from 256 to 4,096 pixels and no more than 16 megapixels.
- 02
Brush only the scribbles or markup to erase
Paint the mark with a fine brush. Zoom, undo, and clear are free. Sign in and confirm 30 credits before generate. An empty mask is rejected.
- 03
Compare, then download the locked composite
Check that unmarked faces, type, and background still match the source. The download is the original frame with reconstruction only inside the mask.
Owned cases
Screenshot Markup, Kid Doodles, and Scanned Prints
These illustrative examples show one marked removal at a time. They are not measured outputs or a performance benchmark. Inspect your result against the source.
Screenshot arrows and circles
White iPhone markup, arrows, and circles on a screenshot. Mark only the overlay so the rest of the capture stays.
Kid crayon on a family photo
Crayon or pen doodles on a family photograph. Leave faces and clothing outside the mask unless the mark sits on them.
Pen on a scanned print
Ballpoint or marker on a scanned print. The fill has to stop at paper grain instead of smearing into unselected type.
Reconstruction, Not Forensic Recovery
The model rebuilds plausible scene pixels in the marked scribble. It cannot restore the original photograph of what the camera recorded under a fully covered region, and it is not a way to recover IDs, legal text, or hidden faces. Tight edges and busy textures need a slightly larger mark than the ink itself.
If ink remains, enlarge the mask and run again as a new paid job on the latest download. If you need a person or prop gone rather than a scribble fill, use Object Remover instead of this page.
Uploads, Tasks, and What We Store
A signed-in run creates a tracked task. You can reopen the result from My Creations after a dropped connection without another charge for that request id. The workbench composite is what you inspect and download here.
The current storage backend has no automatic expiry for uploaded or generated image objects. Delete in My Creations calls the authenticated creation-delete endpoint and soft-deletes the task record from account history; it does not delete the underlying image object or provider copy. Review the Privacy Policy and contact support before uploading sensitive photos.

Remove Scribbles from Photo vs Clone Stamp vs Automatic Wipe
Pick the path that matches the file and the risk. Targeted brush reconstruction, desktop healing, and automatic wipe are different jobs.
| Remove Scribbles from Photo vs Clone Stamp vs Automatic Wipe | Best for | Control | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banana Pro AI marked-region editor | A flattened JPG, PNG, or WebP where you know which scribble or markup should go and which pixels must stay | Brush plus eraser, zoom, undo, a required mask, then a composite that keeps unselected pixels | Fast in the browser. You must mark the ink. Residual marks mean another paid pass, not a hidden detector |
| Desktop clone stamp or heal | Retouchers who want pixel-level sampling, layered history, and print-side review on a workstation | Manual clone, heal, and history on a local file | Highest control, with more time, skill, and software cost |
| Automatic wipe | A file where you want the software to guess every mark without a brush, and you accept whatever it changes | No required mask. The detector decides the region | Convenient when it guesses well. Weak when it erases type, faces, or a watermark you never selected |
Tool specifications
File Limits, Credits, and Composite Behavior
The workbench accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 5 MB. Each side must be between 256 and 4,096 pixels, and the image must stay within 16 megapixels. One run costs 30 credits. The model reconstructs at 1K with an automatic aspect ratio. The composite you download is returned at the uploaded pixel size.
By using the tool, you confirm that your upload complies with the Terms of Service. Identity documents, legal filings, and forensic-recovery claims are not allowed.

Questions
Remove Scribbles from Photo FAQ
Clear answers about selection, unmarked pixels, covered content, identity documents, and credits.
What does this photograph edit actually do?
It means brushing scribbles, doodles, pen marks, or screenshot markup on a JPG, PNG, or WebP you may edit, reconstructing that region from surrounding context, and downloading a file that keeps every unselected pixel from the upload.
Does the tool detect every scribble automatically?
No. You brush the mark. An empty mask cannot start a paid run. That is how unmarked faces, type, and background stay put.
Will unmarked pixels change?
The workbench composites the reconstruction only inside the mask and keeps the original pixels everywhere else, including original width and height. Inspect the split view before you download.
Can it recover content that the mark fully covered?
No. It invents a plausible scene in the marked region. It cannot forensically recover true information that the camera never recorded under a fully covered mark.
Can I use this on IDs or legal documents?
No. Passports, licenses, legal filings, and other identity or safety materials are forbidden. Do not present the download as proof of a covered number, name, or face.
How many credits does one run cost?
One signed-in run costs 30 credits. Retry of the same request id does not charge again. A new mask on a new request id is a new charge.
Brush the mark, then reconstruct that region
Upload a supported image, draw the mask, and download a composite that keeps everything you did not mark.
