Clear the clutter in your library and the distractions in your pictures. DoDoAlbum brings AI passerby removal, cleanup suggestions, photo search and editing together on your iPhone. AI PASSERBY REMOVAL A stranger in your travel shot or street photo? Open a still photo, enter the editor's AI removal tool and choose passerby mode. The app detects people, preselects likely passersby and prioritizes protecting the main subject. Review the highlighted selection, then confirm to remove selected people and fill the area using nearby background information. • Automatic passerby selection reduces manual tracing. Tap people to adjust who stays and who goes. • Smart lasso: draw a closed loop around a target to select people or foreground within it. Check the highlighted area before confirming. • Brush: add missed areas or mark small distractions manually. • Preview, undo and redo: review your result before saving. • On-device processing: AI removal does not upload your photos. Download the original to your device before editing. AI removal works with still photos. Results vary with complex backgrounds, overlapping people and large occlusions.
