ClickRemoval: An Interactive Open-Source Tool for Object Removal in Diffusion Models
Existing object removal methods rely on manual masks or textual prompts, which often struggle to achieve precise manipulation in complex scenes, leading to incomplete removal or background distortion. This work proposes a click-based object removal approach that requires only user-provided point clicks—eliminating the need for additional training, hand-drawn masks, or textual descriptions. By leveraging a pre-trained Stable Diffusion model, the method performs target localization and background inpainting directly during the denoising process through self-attention modulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first technique to enable purely click-driven image editing with diffusion models, substantially lowering the usability barrier. The approach demonstrates superior performance in both quantitative evaluations and user studies, and the complete software package has been publicly released.
