Remove Overlay from Image

Remove an old promo badge or decorative overlay from an authorized image. Include white borders, drop shadows, and tinted semi-transparent edges.

Scenario

An owned product or marketing photo may still carry an outdated sale badge, draft sticker, or decorative overlay. First look for the original layered file: deleting that layer preserves the real background. If only a flattened image remains, use a brush mask to request a generated replacement. A white cut-line border and a soft drop shadow extend beyond the graphic; a semi-transparent overlay also tints the area below it. Include the full affected footprint. Review packaging edges, fabric patterns, and product details, because an overlay can hide information the tool cannot know.

We added our own overlays to existing public example images and processed them with CleanerPix on November 5, 2026. These are controlled demonstrations, not customer photos or a success-rate study. The results are actual edits, not the clean reference pictures.

A sale badge beside a product

Cover the whole label and a small margin around it. Check the nearby handle and its shadow after cleaning.

The label is removed in this run. The area beside the handle is reconstructed, so compare that edge before reusing the image.

A translucent banner over gravel

Select the tinted rectangle as well as its letters. Removing only the text would leave the colored background behind.

The banner is removed. The reconstructed patch looks smoother than the nearby gravel at close range; inspect texture before publishing.

How to clean this image

1
Upload an authorized flattened image, or use the original layered file if it is available. (Remove an overlay)
2
Cover the badge artwork, white border, drop shadow, and all tinted semi-transparent pixels. Work separately on unrelated overlays.
3
Inspect the fill for a rim, halo, broken line, or invented product detail. Retry small residue locally, and keep the original if accurate hidden detail is required.
