What Cleanup.pictures does
Cleanup.pictures is a focused web app for AI object/text/person removal from photos (inpainting). Built by the InitML team (creators of the Clipdrop AR-to-desktop tool), it's aimed at anyone needing quick photo touch-ups without a full editor, social users, real estate, and casual designers.
Worth knowing: Verified 2026-08-13. Ownership chain: InitML (2020) -> acquired by Stability AI (Feb 2023) -> Clipdrop business sold to Jasper.ai (Feb 2024); product remains live at cleanup.pictures/clipdrop.co under Jasper.
What users complain about: Users have reported that after canceling their trial, Cleanup.Pictures still tried to charge their card despite the cancellation being confirmed, with multiple support emails receiving no response (Aggregated review summary (Geniusfirms/Trustpilot))
