IOPaint is a free, open-source, self-hostable image inpainting and outpainting tool powered by state-of-the-art AI models like LaMa and Stable Diffusion. It runs as a local web server with a browser UI, letting users erase unwanted objects, defects, or people from photos and replace or extend image content with generative models.
Use cases
- remove unwanted objects or people from photos
- erase watermarks from images
- inpaint or replace parts of an image with AI
- outpaint to extend an image's borders
- self-host an AI photo cleanup tool
- remove defects from scanned or old photos
- batch process images to remove backgrounds or restore faces
When to choose
- you want a free, fully self-hosted alternative to commercial object-removal tools
- you need both fast erase models (LaMa) and generative diffusion inpainting in one tool
- you want CPU, NVIDIA/AMD GPU, or Apple Silicon support with a browser UI
- you want plugins like GFPGAN, RealESRGAN, or background removal alongside inpainting
When to avoid
- you need a polished commercial product with support guarantees
- you only want a lightweight non-AI photo editor
- you cannot download multi-GB model weights or lack GPU resources for diffusion models
- you need a mobile-first editing experience (though the companion OptiClean app covers macOS/iOS)
