Magic Eraser

Magic Eraser is designed to remove unwanted elements from photos with ease. Whether it’s blemishes, objects, people, text, or logos, Magic Eraser quickly and efficiently clears your images, making it easier to work with existing photos without needing to reshoot or find new images. Magic Eraser fills in the empty space automatically, blending seamlessly with the surrounding content to create a flawless final image.

What You Can Do with Magic Eraser

  • Remove unwanted objects, blemishes, people, and more.
  • Instantly fill gaps left behind, with content generated to match the surrounding area.
  • Improve photo quality by eliminating distractions or imperfections.

How it works

Magic Eraser leverages machine learning technology to analyze the area you want to edit and fills in the removed space with pixels that match the surrounding content. Unlike manual editing in traditional tools, Magic Eraser streamlines the process to save time and effort.

  • Simple Click-to-Use: By selecting the AI Grab button in the Inspector, the tool isolates the foreground from the background in just one click.
  • Smart Background Filling: After the subject is separated, AI Grab analyzes the image and fills in any gaps, ensuring the extraction looks smooth and natural.

Note:

Magic Eraser is only supported on devices with the A14 Bionic chip and above. For iPad Pro models, that includes the iPad Pro (5th generation) or newer. Below is a list of other supported iPad devices:

  • iPad Air (4th generation) and newer
  • iPad (10th generation)
  • iPad mini (6th generation)
