About

Inpaint Anything turns object-level image editing into a single click by chaining Meta's Segment Anything Model with inpainting and generation backends. Clicking an object yields a mask from SAM; the Remove Anything mode then erases the object with LaMa inpainting, Fill Anything replaces it with content described in a text prompt via Stable Diffusion, and Replace Anything keeps the foreground while regenerating the background. The same recipe extends beyond single images to video, where objects can be removed across frames, and to 3D scenes. It handles arbitrary aspect ratios and images up to 2K resolution. Built by researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China and the Eastern Institute for Advanced Study, the project is Apache 2.0 licensed, and a newer development branch updates the stack with SAM 3 and SDXL along with robotics-oriented features. It serves as a practical demonstration of composing segmentation and generative models for interactive editing.

Should you use Inpaint Anything?

Pick it when

You want to click an object and remove it, replace it from a prompt, or regenerate its background in one step, are fine running research code on a 6GB or larger GPU, and may extend the recipe to video or 3D scenes.

Look elsewhere when

You want an everyday cleanup tool: IOPaint offers SAM selection plus LaMa removal in a browser UI with CPU support and a batch mode. For serious video object removal, ProPainter is purpose-built for clips.

Alternatives to Inpaint Anything

  • IOPaint (Lama Cleaner)

    Same click-to-mask plus LaMa removal in a browser UI that also runs on CPU, with batch folders, but no video or 3D scene editing.

  • ProPainter

    Dedicated video inpainting that propagates pixels from neighboring frames, built for clips, but limited to non-commercial use.

  • MagicQuill

    Brush-driven editing with intent prediction, better for adding or recoloring objects, but needs 8GB VRAM and is CC BY-NC 4.0.

  • Krita AI Diffusion

    Selection-based fill inside a full painting app, better for artists who want to refine results by hand rather than accept one click.
