Hama

Hama is a free web eraser: brush over any object, person or mark in a photo and the AI paints it out.

FreeBeginnerWeb

Overview

Hama erases things from a photo. You brush over an object, a person, a logo or a blemish, and the AI fills the space with what it judges should sit behind it. You can go over stray bits again to clean up an edge. People use it on photobombers in travel shots, on bins, signs and wires in landscapes, and on marks in product pictures.

It runs in the browser only. No account is needed, and the vendor sets no limit on how many images you edit. Free downloads come out at 720 pixels on the longest side. Signing in with Google unlocks Hama PRO, which is also free and raises that limit. The site carries advertising and works with many ad partners, so expect cookie consent prompts.

When to use

Hama fits quick, free clean-ups of a photo. Use it if:

  • You want a stranger or photobomber taken out of a picture you otherwise like.
  • You want to erase a distraction such as a bin, sign or wire from a scene.
  • You want a logo, watermark or mark off a product photo before using it.
  • You are working on a small object against a plain background, which is where the fill is cleanest.
  • You want a free tool with nothing to install and nothing to pay at any point.

When NOT to use

Skip Hama if any of these describe you:

  • You want to cut the subject out and drop in a new background. That is a different job, handled by a background remover.
  • You need to remove something large or over busy detail. The fill is guessed from the surroundings, so big gaps can look wrong.
  • You are retouching faces and skin in detail. A photo retouching tool is built for that kind of work.
  • You need the photo back at its original size. Free downloads are capped at 720 pixels on the longest side. The free PRO sign-in raises that but still shrinks a large photo.
  • You would rather avoid ad tracking. The site loads advertising and works with many advertising partners.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, all of it. Hama states you can edit unlimited images for free, and the site has no paid plan or payment page. Free downloads come out at 720 pixels on the longest side. Hama PRO raises that limit and costs nothing either: you sign in with a Google account.

Almost anything you can brush over: people and photobombers, objects and distractions, logos, watermarks and marks, and small skin blemishes. The AI then fills the brushed area from the pixels around it.

Hama fills the erased area by guessing from the surrounding image. Small objects on plain backgrounds come out cleanest. Large objects, or ones sitting over busy detail, are harder, and the filled area can look off. You can brush again over what is left to tidy the result.

Not as its main job. Hama erases the parts you brush over and fills them in. To cut the subject out and replace the whole background, a dedicated background remover is a better fit.

It raises the download size. Without it, downloads come out at 720 pixels on the longest side. Signed in, a 3744 by 5616 pixel test photo downloaded at 1280 by 1920. PRO is bigger, not the original size. The erasing itself works the same either way, and PRO costs nothing.
