What is a magic eraser
A magic eraser removes unwanted objects or people from a photo and fills in what was behind them.
In Zaps you brush over the thing you want gone and AI fills the area to match its surroundings. It suits photobombers, signs, wires, trash cans and background clutter. Magic Eraser is coming soon to the web editor and is in the Zaps app today.

Why people search for this
One distraction can spoil a good photo.
Object removal
Brush it away.
Paint over the object or person you want removed and AI generates new pixels to match the area around it. There is no clone stamp to aim and no mask to refine.
- Remove people, signs and small objects
- Brush only the part you want gone
- AI fills the space to match its surroundings
- Use the cleaned photo in any Zaps design
Busy backgrounds
Thin out the crowd.
Travel and event photos rarely come with an empty frame. Remove the strangers who walked into the shot so the landmark and your subject get the attention.
- Remove passersby from travel photos
- Clean up party and event shots
- Works best when the people are small against a clear background
Wires, signs and clutter
Clear the lines across the sky.
Overhead cables, street signs and bins pull the eye away from the scene. Erase the small things that do not belong and keep the framing you chose.
- Remove wires and cables
- Erase signs and bins
- Fix a stray mark on a product shot
- Keep your original crop
Landscapes and portraits
Keep the moment, lose the extras.
A walker far down the beach or a bag on the sand can break a quiet scene. Brush it out and keep the mood of the photo.
- Quiet landscape photos
- Portraits with an object near the subject
- Small distractions near the edge of the frame
What to expect
The fill is a best guess.
AI fills the gap with what it predicts belongs there. Large objects, detailed textures, reflections and overlapping subjects are harder, and some photos need a second pass with a smaller brush.
- Work in small passes on complex areas
- Remove one thing at a time
- Zoom in to check the fill
