Magic Eraser
One-click AI object remover that wipes people, text, and clutter out of photos in seconds.
Pick Magic Eraser if you need to quickly wipe an object, person, or watermark out of a photo without opening Photoshop or signing up for anything.
Skip it if you need API access, batch automation beyond 50 images, or surgical control over complex inpainting tasks.
Magic Eraser (now part of Canva-owned Magic Studio) is a browser-based AI inpainting tool that lets you brush over an unwanted object, person, watermark, or text and have it intelligently replaced with plausible background. The original draw is friction: no signup, no install, drop an image in and start painting. It supports JPG, PNG, AVIF, WEBP, HEIC and TIFF, has bulk mode for editing up to 50 images at once, and offers brush sizing, zoom, and unlimited retries when the fill isn't quite right.
It's aimed squarely at non-designers who need fast cleanup: real estate listings, e-commerce product shots, auto marketplace photos, fashion flat-lays, and social media posts. The free tier is genuinely usable but caps downloads at low resolution with watermarks and ads; paying unlocks full-res exports and commercial rights. There's no public API, and the quality won't match a careful Photoshop generative-fill session on complex scenes, but for one-off cleanup tasks it's faster than opening any pro tool.
Now folded into Magic Studio alongside Canva's wider AI suite, it benefits from the broader model investment but is also clearly positioned as a funnel into Canva's paid ecosystem rather than a standalone power-user product.
A solid free entry point to AI object removal that does exactly what it says on the tin. We'd rank it above most novelty erasers for its format support and bulk mode, but serious users will outgrow the watermarked free tier quickly and may prefer Photoshop's generative fill or a dedicated API like Cleanup.pictures for production work.
