Magic eraser for your photos

The brush-and-vanish photo fix from phone cameras, in a browser tab, with no upload.

A free magic eraser for your phone or computer: brush over photobombers, litter or blemishes and an AI fills the gap in your browser. It is free, needs no account and adds no watermark, and your files are not uploaded: everything runs in your browser on your device. The first run downloads the object removal model (about 28 MB) and the WebAssembly engine that runs it to your browser, and after that the tool works offline.

    Details

    Cover the whole object and a little around it, including its shadow. Erase works best on one thing at a time.

    Working…

    Done

    Your files are processed on this device and never sent to a server. Reload the page to clear everything from memory.

    Pixel phones call it Magic Eraser, Samsung calls it Object Eraser, iPhones call it Clean Up, and each one only works on that brand’s newest models, sometimes only with a subscription or with the photo sent to a server. This page does the same job on a laptop, tablet or phone with a modern browser, and the photo stays on it.

    Brush over the thing that spoils the picture: the stranger walking through the frame, a plastic bottle on the sand, a power line across a sunset, a spot on someone’s shirt. Press Erase and MI-GAN, a compact inpainting network, draws in what the background suggests should be there. Brush again and erase again as often as you like; Undo steps back through the last eight changes.

    Because only the brushed pixels change, the photo keeps its full resolution and colours everywhere else. Save as JPG for sharing, or PNG if you plan to keep editing.

    How it works

    1. Drop a photo.
    2. Brush over what should vanish and press Erase; repeat as needed.
    3. Press Save.

    In your browser, not on a server

    Your browser decodes the photo and you paint the area to remove on a canvas. MI-GAN (MIT, Picsart AI Research), an inpainting network built to run on phones, runs in a web worker through onnxruntime-web (MIT) compiled to WebAssembly. The model crops around the painted area, fills it at 512 × 512 from the surrounding pixels and blends it back at full size; only painted pixels change. The result is saved by your browser’s own image encoder.

    Compared with upload-based tools: Online magic erasers upload your photo to a GPU server, often cap the free size, add a watermark or ask for an account, and keep the upload. The photos people clean up are often personal: family, homes, holidays. Here the network runs on your device and the photo never leaves it.

    Verify it yourself. Give the page a short while after your first run to save itself for offline use, then turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode and run the tool again. Or open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd-Option-I on a Mac), pick the Network tab, and watch it while you convert. The panel above does the same count for you.

    Questions

    Is it as good as Google’s or Samsung’s eraser?

    For small and medium objects on grass, sand, sky, water, walls and pavements it is close. Phone makers now use much larger generative models for big objects in front of complex scenes, which run in the cloud; this one is small enough to run in your browser, so a large area in front of detailed buildings or faces comes out softer.

    Do I need an app or an account?

    No. It is a web page: open it, drop the photo, save the result. It keeps working offline after the first use, and you can add it to your home screen if you use it often.

    Can it remove a watermark?

    Technically it can fill in any painted area, but removing someone else’s watermark or credit from a picture you do not own the rights to is usually a breach of copyright. Use it on your own photos.

    Is the file uploaded anywhere?

    No. There is no server in this process. The page is a static file and the work is done by code running inside your browser tab. Give the page a short while after your first run to save itself for offline use; then you can turn off Wi-Fi and it still works.
