Where is PhotoClear now?
In PhotoEdit. Upload the photo, then choose the PhotoClear tab. Declutter, sky, exterior tidy, blur and the other listed tools are on that tab.
Inside PhotoEdit
PhotoClear, in the same editor as your free tools
PhotoClear is no longer a separate stop. Open a listing photo in PhotoEdit, switch to the PhotoClear tab, and tidy, recover a sky or blur a private detail there. Those AI actions use ReHub credits. Crop, tone and colour on the Edit tab stay free.

OriginalQuick answer
PhotoClear runs inside PhotoEdit Studio. After you upload a photo, the PhotoClear tab sits beside Edit. Light declutter uses 1 ReHub credit, medium uses 2 and full uses 3. The other PhotoClear actions — including blue sky, sunset sky, window sky, bins, cars, garden, blur and a custom tidy — use 1 credit each. Straighten Image on that tab is free. The result should still be a fair photograph of the property.
Key takeaways
- PhotoClear is a tab in PhotoEdit. You do not open another editor for these tools.
- Light declutter is 1 credit, medium is 2 and full is 3.
- The other PhotoClear actions in the tab use 1 ReHub credit each.
- Straighten Image on the PhotoClear tab is free. So is the Edit tab.
- Furniture staging is blocked here. That belongs in Virtual Staging Studio.
What uses a credit?
Declutter uses 1, 2 or 3 credits by strength. Each other PhotoClear action uses 1 credit. The editor shows the cost before you run it. Manual crop, tone and colour do not.
Can PhotoClear furnish a room?
No. A custom request that asks to add furniture is blocked. Furnishing an empty room is Virtual Staging Studio, which is a separate app.
One photo, two kinds of edit
Most listing work is still a free edit: crop, straighten, exposure, colour and export. PhotoClear is the optional step when the photo needs something the sliders cannot do, such as clearing movable mess, replacing a flat exterior sky, or blurring a face in a frame.
You stay on the same image. Finish the free adjustments first if you want, then open the PhotoClear tab. Each AI action is separate, so a declutter and a sky replacement are two charges, not one.
Step-by-step
How it works
PhotoClear opens from the editor. There is no second website to visit for these tools.
- 1
Open the photo
Create a free PhotoEdit account and upload the image. Crop and colour on the Edit tab do not use credits.
- 2
Open the PhotoClear tab
It sits beside Edit. Declutter is the first control, with Light, Medium and Full. The rest of the tools are listed underneath.
- 3
Run one action
The button shows the credit cost before it runs. Straighten Image on this tab is marked Free. Everything else in the list uses ReHub credits.
- 4
Check it, then export
Compare with the original. If the room, the sky or the drive no longer matches the property, undo it. Download only a fair photograph.
On the PhotoClear tab
What you can run without leaving PhotoEdit
Costs below are the ones shown in the editor. Declutter is the only action with three strengths.
Declutter — 1, 2 or 3 credits
Light clears obvious mess and keeps the room lived-in. Medium also clears personal items. Full is a much stronger, minimal tidy. Review it before you publish.
Sky — 1 credit each
Blue Sky styles are Soft, Clear, Deep, Cloudy and Bright. Sunset styles are Golden, Orange, Pink, Fire, Pastel and Twilight. Window Sky only recovers blown-out glass.
Outside — 1 credit each
Tidy garden, cut the grass, tidy drive and bins, remove bins only, or remove cars only. Garden tidy is meant to leave plants and the lawn as they are.
Rooms — 1 credit each
Straighten a bed or a sofa without moving the furniture. Brighten and enhance, turn lights on, or soften harsh shadows. These change the photograph, so check them.
Privacy — 1 credit each
Blur personal photos in frames, collages and screens, or blur number plates on vehicles. The rest of the picture is meant to stay put.
A small addition, or a custom tidy
Add flowers or a plant for 1 credit. A written custom edit is also 1 credit, and it will not add furniture. Staging an empty room is a different app.
Example use cases
Where to use it
Real ways property professionals put this to work every day.
A lived-in lounge
Use Light when only the mess should go. There is a longer guide to choosing a strength honestly.
A grey-day exterior
Blue Sky or Sunset Sky replaces the sky behind the building. The house itself should stay recognisable.
Bins or a car on the drive
Remove bins only, or cars only, when you do not want the rest of the front cleared as well.
A private detail
Blur a family photo on the wall or a number plate, then leave the room otherwise as shot.
Keep the listing honest
PhotoClear changes pixels. That is useful for temporary mess, a blown-out window or a number plate. It is a problem if the edit hides damp, damage, a missing fixture or a view the property does not have.
Prefer the lightest action that solves the photo. A sunset sky is a styled image: do not present it as the weather on the day of the viewing unless that is true. Adding flowers or a plant is a small staging choice, and it should not be used to imply a different room.
What stays outside PhotoClear
Merging a bracket of exposures is HDR Photo, a separate app with its own monthly HDR Credits. A full day-to-dusk grade is HyperDusk. Furnishing an empty room is Virtual Staging Studio. Cinematic video is ImageMotion. Those are not buttons on the PhotoClear tab.
Decluttering and sky replacement each have their own page if you want the detail. This page is the map of the tab.
