What Clean up removes

Clean up takes out what doesn’t belong in a family photo’s background:

  • Strangers walking past
  • Bags, bins and clutter
  • Umbrellas, chairs and stray objects

Your family stays the same

Lumo asks the AI to keep the main people and the scene unchanged: the same faces, ages, hair, clothing and pose. Small details can still differ, so the original always stays right beside the cleaned-up photo.

Made for busy places

  • Holiday and beach photos
  • Parks, museums and landmarks
  • Festivals, markets and busy streets

Questions

Can it remove someone in our family?

Clean up is made for strangers and clutter in the background. It keeps the main people in the photo, so it won’t take out someone standing with your family.

Does magic cost anything?

Each piece of magic uses a few flowers, Lumo’s in-app credits. Lumo Pass makes magic unlimited for the whole family.

Does it change my original photo?

No. What Lumo makes is saved as a new picture next to the original, and the original stays exactly as it was.

Will it be the same shape as my photo?

Yes. A tall photo comes back tall and a wide photo comes back wide, so it fits the frame or the phone screen you had in mind.

Who can see our photos?

Only the people in your family album. Nothing is public, there are no followers, and photos are never shown to anyone outside your family.
