Magic Eraser: Remove Objects from Photos
A stranger in the background, a power line across the sky, a date stamp in the corner: paint over it and Magic Eraser fills the area so it looks like it was never there. The filling is done by an AI inpainting model that runs on your own device, so your photo is never sent to a server.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

Magic Eraser: frequently asked questions
How does the magic eraser work?
You paint over what you want gone. An AI inpainting model (MI-GAN) looks at the pixels around the painted area and generates new ones that continue the background, then only the painted area is replaced. Everything runs in your browser.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The model is downloaded to your browser once (about 40 MB together with its runtime) and runs on your device. Your photo never leaves it.
What works best?
Small and medium objects on fairly even backgrounds such as sky, grass, sand, walls or water give the cleanest results. Paint a little beyond the object's edge and include its shadow. For a large object, erase it in a few smaller strokes and erase again where something is left over.
Does it reduce the quality of my photo?
No. The photo keeps its full resolution and only the painted pixels change. It is saved in the format you opened, such as JPG, PNG or WebP.
What if the AI model can't run on my device?
In a browser that can't run the model, the area is filled with a simpler blend of the surrounding colours instead, and the tool tells you so. That still works well on plain backgrounds.
