Where is decluttering in PhotoEdit?
Open a photo in the editor, then choose the PhotoClear tab beside Edit. Declutter is the first control: Light, Medium or Full.
PhotoClear in PhotoEdit
Declutter property photos without leaving the editor
Everyday crop, tone and colour edits stay free with a PhotoEdit account. When a room needs a tidy, open the PhotoClear tab in the same editor and choose how much to remove. Those AI tools use ReHub credits.

PhotoClear tab · uses creditsQuick answer
PhotoEdit Studio includes PhotoClear decluttering in the same editor as the free manual tools. Upload a photo, open the PhotoClear tab and choose light, medium or full declutter. Light uses 1 ReHub credit, medium uses 2 and full uses 3. The edit is meant to tidy movable mess, not to hide defects or invent a different home. Check the result before you publish.
Key takeaways
- Decluttering is inside PhotoEdit — you do not open a separate PhotoClear app.
- Manual crop, straighten, exposure and colour stay free with an account.
- Light declutter is 1 credit, medium is 2 and full is 3.
- Light keeps decorative items; full is a much stronger tidy.
- Always review the image so it still represents the property honestly.
Does decluttering cost credits?
Yes. Light declutter uses 1 ReHub credit, medium uses 2 and full uses 3. Crop, straighten, curves and export on the Edit tab stay free.
What should a declutter change?
It is designed to remove movable mess such as loose papers, packaging and small personal clutter, depending on the strength you choose. It should not be used to hide damage, damp or anything a buyer or tenant needs to see.
Tidy the photo, keep the home true
A listing photo often includes things that were never meant for the brochure: post, packaging, a cable across the floor, toys left out. PhotoClear decluttering, inside PhotoEdit, is built to clear that kind of movable clutter while leaving the room itself in place.
It sits next to the free editor, not in another product. Finish any crop or straighten first if you want, then switch to the PhotoClear tab. You stay on the same photo.
The result is still a photograph of that property. A stronger tidy removes more, so you should look at walls, floors, furniture and windows before you export, and reject anything that no longer matches the home.
Step-by-step
How it works
Decluttering runs from the PhotoClear tab after the photo is open. There is no separate app to visit.
- 1
Create a free account
Sign in to PhotoEdit. Manual editing does not use credits. Decluttering does, so you need a ReHub credit balance for the AI step.
- 2
Open the photo on Edit
Upload the image. Crop, straighten or balance exposure first if the frame itself needs work. Those tools are free.
- 3
Choose a declutter strength
Open the PhotoClear tab and pick Light, Medium or Full. The editor shows the credit cost before you run it.

Review, then export
Compare the result with the original. If the room still looks like the real property, download it. If it does not, undo and try a lighter pass.
What each strength is for
Choose how much the photo should change
The three declutter options are different jobs. Pick the lightest one that solves the photo.
Light — 1 credit
Aimed at obvious mess: rubbish, loose papers and packaging. Decorative items, plants and personal touches are meant to stay, so the room still looks lived in.
Medium — 2 credits
Aimed at clutter and personal items while keeping furniture and the structure of the room. Bedding is meant to be straightened, not removed.
Full — 3 credits
A stronger, minimal look. It is designed to clear decorations and small accessories as well as mess, and to keep major furniture and the architecture. Review it carefully.
Same editor, free tools first
Crop, straighten, exposure, colour, curves and export do not use credits. Use them before you spend a credit on an AI tidy.
Example use cases
Where to use it
Real ways property professionals put this to work every day.
Kitchen worktop
Clear packaging and post while leaving the units and appliances where they are.
Lived-in living room
Use Light when you only need obvious mess gone and the room should still feel occupied.
Bedroom before a viewing pack
Medium is aimed at personal items, with the bed smoothed rather than stripped out.
Garden and drive
Separate PhotoClear tools in the same tab can tidy garden items, bins or cars. Each of those uses 1 credit.
How to represent the home honestly
Decluttering changes pixels. That is useful when the mess is temporary, and it is a problem when the edit hides something material. Do not use it to cover cracks, stains, damp, missing fixtures or a view that is not there.
Prefer Light when the room is already presentable. Full is a deliberate, minimal treatment — if a rug, a lamp or a personal photo disappears, decide whether that still describes the property you are marketing.
Adding furniture is a different product. PhotoEdit blocks staging requests in the custom PhotoClear box. Furnishing an empty room belongs in Virtual Staging Studio, which is separate and may use credits.
Other PhotoClear tools in the same tab
The PhotoClear tab also includes straighten bed, straighten sofa, tidy garden, cut the grass, tidy drive and bins, remove bins, remove cars, brighten and enhance, turn on lights, blur personal photos, blur number plates, remove shadows, window sky, blue sky and sunset sky. Each of those uses 1 ReHub credit. Blue sky has its own guide.
