Remove the date stamp that some older cameras and phones burn into the corner of a photo, by painting over it, directly in your browser.

Uses an inpainting model (MI-GAN) running in your browser via WebAssembly to regenerate the area where the date was printed, based on the surrounding texture.

Use cases

  • Recovering old compact-camera photos without the burned-in date stamp.
  • Preparing a keepsake photo for printing without the date mark.
  • Cleaning a scanned album photo that has a date printed on it.

    Cover the numbers completely with the brush.

  3. 3

    The AI reconstructs the area. The first time it downloads a model (~10 MB).

Frequently asked questions

Does it detect the date automatically?

No — you paint over it by hand, same as any other text. It's usually quick since the date stamp is small.

Does it work if the date is over a highly detailed background?

It works best when the background under the date is fairly uniform (sky, wall, ground). Over a very detailed area, the result may need a small touch-up.
