How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour
You can use this template as-is, or treat it as a starting point and customize it for your own workflow. To create your own version in Magic Hour:
Open AI Image Editor
Go to the AI Image Editor. Upload the image you want to clean up.Define What You Want to Remove
- Clearly describe what should disappear (for example: “remove the person in the red jacket on the left,” “erase the logo on the coffee cup,” “remove wires above the building”).
- If you’re working on products, describe the scene style you want preserved (e.g., “simple studio scene,” “minimal lifestyle shot”).
Describe the Desired Fill / Background
Guiding the AI improves results. Be explicit about what the empty area should look like, such as:- “Extend the existing white wall and floor”
- “Continue the beach sand and water naturally”
- “Fill with blurred city background consistent with the photo”
Iterate Quickly
- Run multiple variations and keep the best one.
- If something looks off, refine your prompt using more specific language about light, texture, or context (for example, “soft daylight, matching existing shadows,” “matte texture, no reflections”).
Save Your Workflow as a Template
Once you find prompts and a process that work well for your use case (e.g., product photos, user portraits, screenshots), save it as your own Magic Hour template so your team can reuse it without having to re-think the instructions each time.
Practical Prompt Patterns That Work Well
You can adapt these to your own assets:
- Product photos
- “Remove all background clutter and props, keep only the product on a clean seamless surface. Extend the existing surface and background so it looks like a studio shot.”
- Portraits & headshots
- “Remove people in the background and fill with softly blurred office environment matching current colors and lighting.”
- For more control over portraits, pair with the AI Face Editor or AI Headshot Generator.
- Screenshots & UI mocks
- “Remove all branding and logos from the interface. Replace them with neutral, generic placeholders that look like part of the original UI.”
- Real estate & interiors
- “Remove personal items from the table and counters. Extend the existing countertop and flooring pattern realistically.”
- For concepting new layouts, you can combine this workflow with the AI Interior Design Generator.

Tips for Reliable, High-Quality Results
Be specific in your prompts
Clearly state what should be removed and how the scene should look afterward. Vague prompts (“clean this up”) tend to produce less predictable results than concrete ones (“remove the coffee cup and continue the wooden table texture”).Match context, lighting, and texture
Reference what’s already in the image: “match the current lighting,” “same type of tiles,” “same wood grain as the existing table.”Iterate and compare
Run multiple passes and compare. For images that matter (landing page hero, ad creative), it’s worth exploring a few variations before finalizing.Combine with enhancement tools
After cleanup, improve clarity with:- Unblur Image
- AI Image Upscaler
- Old Photo Restoration or Photo Colorizer for legacy assets
When to Use This Template vs. Other Magic Hour Tools
Use this AI Image Editor template when your primary goal is removing or cleaning elements inside an existing image while preserving the rest of the scene.
Consider other tools when you need to:
- Generate entirely new visuals from scratch – use AI Photo Generator, AI Art Generator, or AI Image Generator.
- Change a subject’s outfit, style, or face, instead of the environment – try AI Clothes Changer, AI Fashion Generator, AI Face Generator, or Gender Swap.
- Move into video or talking content – use AI Talking Photo, Lip Sync template, AI Voice Generator, or AI Voice Cloner.
Build Your Own Reusable Editing System
Because this template is prompt-driven, it’s easy to standardize it across your team:
- Document your best-performing prompts for each asset type (product, portrait, UI, etc.).
- Save your flows as Magic Hour templates so designers, marketers, and founders can get consistent, on-brand results without manual retouching.
- Chain it with other Magic Hour tools to build a repeatable pipeline—from raw photo to polished, campaign-ready asset—in a few minutes.
