How to remove piercings from a photo

  1. 1

    Create a free account and confirm your email address before editing a photo.

  2. 2

    Upload your photo and turn on “Remove piercings”. Leave other options off if you only want to edit piercings.

  3. 3

    Check the preview, especially small skin and jewelry details. Downloads without a visible watermark are available with active Plus or Pro.

Which details are edited?

The option removes all visible piercings, including earrings. Watches, glasses and finger rings are intended to stay. Very small or partly hidden jewelry may be missed; perfect detection and unchanged surrounding details are not guaranteed.

What happens to your photo

Metadata is removed in your browser before upload. We store the image temporarily for editing: the original is deleted after successful processing and the result about an hour after completion from our image storage. We do not train our own AI models with your photos. Necessary external services are used for safety checks and editing; their retention and usage terms are explained in the privacy policy. Full anonymization is not guaranteed.

Questions about editing

Can I select one particular piercing?

Currently, the option applies to all visible piercings in the photo. Selecting individual pieces of jewelry is not supported.

Will glasses and other accessories stay?

Glasses, watches and finger rings are not part of piercing removal. Still check your result, because the AI can change nearby details.
