Magic Eraser

What is Magic Eraser?

Magic Eraser is an AI-based image object removal tool from Magic Studio, part of aarzoo, Inc.; it is used to remove people, text, defects, passersby, and other distracting elements from photos, as well as to fill in the areas that have been removed.

It can be used directly in a browser, as well as integrated into the iPhone and Android apps of Magic Studio. On the web version, editing can begin for free without any registration required; the paid versions offer improved download resolutions, removal of brand identifiers, and the ability to process multiple files at once.

Main functions

• Erasing with a brush selection: After uploading an image, use the brush to select the areas that need to be removed; it is possible to adjust the size of the brush as well as the scale of the image, making it suitable for carefully covering up people, text, stains, or small objects.
• AI background filling: After clicking to erase an area, the system fills in the removed section based on the surrounding textures, colors, and patterns; if the result is not satisfactory, it is possible to select a different area or erase it again.
• Multiple partial treatments: Multiple objects in a single photo can be removed step by step; handling them one by one makes it easier to control the results compared to covering a large area at once.
• Undo and Redo: During editing, it is possible to undo actions, redo them, and compare the results before and after, which makes it easier to correct issues such as overly large selection areas, residual edges, or errors in completion.
• Batch editing: The Pro plan includes tools for batch processing; on the Magic Eraser page, it is possible to edit up to 50 photos at the same time. The actual number of photos that can be processed in batches may still be limited by the device and account used.
• Use across devices: The Pro subscription allows use on web browsers, as well as on iOS and Android devices; it is ideal for making detailed selections on a desktop and for quick processing and downloading on a smartphone.

Input, output, and processing recommendations

Long and thin objects are well suited to be divided into shorter segments for erasure; multiple objects should also be processed one by one. Selecting the area while covering the object’s shadows usually helps to reduce residual images and unnatural edges.

Usage tutorial

1. Open Magic Eraser, drag and drop or select a photo for which you have editing rights; the free web version allows you to start using it right away without the need to register.
2. Zoom in on the area that needs to be processed and adjust the brush size; use the brush to cover the object and its shadows completely, being careful not to accidentally paint over any elements or structures that need to be retained.
3. Click Erase and wait for the AI to fill in the background; check for repeated textures, curved lines, blurred edges, and residual text.
4. If the results are not satisfactory, it is possible to revert and reduce the selection area, or erase again within the same area; multiple objects should be processed in several steps.
5. After completion, compare the original image with the result, and then download it using the current package. For commercial projects, it is necessary to retain the original files as well as the final version that has been reviewed manually.

Suitable for users and scenarios

• E-commerce and food service businesses: Remove props, labels, stains, and other elements present in the product images to keep the focus on the main subject.
• Professionals in the real estate and automotive sectors: Remove pedestrians, vehicles, trash bins, or temporary objects from the photos, but do not use editing to conceal any significant defects that could affect a transaction.
• Photographers and content creators: dealing with errors in the image, background distractions, minor skin imperfections, and unnecessary text in the frame.
• Social media managers: Quickly clean up cover images, photos used for short content, and event photos, thereby reducing the costs associated with using complex photo-editing software.
• Design and comic users: They can proceed with formatting or drawing after removing certain elements, but complex line drawings and regular patterns still require manual correction.

Packages and prices

• The price displayed on the website is the dynamic amount shown for the Chinese market at the time of this verification; the twelve-month plan was cheaper than the six-month plan, which indicates that promotions may change at any time.
• Prices on websites, as well as on Apple and Google Play, along with trial options, taxes, and renewal periods, may vary depending on the region, account, store, and promotions; it is necessary to refer to the payment page before making a purchase.
• The Pro page uses the phrase “unlimited AI generation,” but the service may still be subject to reasonable use policies, technical capacity constraints, or anti-abuse measures; no specific thresholds are indicated on the public page.
• The free trial may require linking a payment method; if it is not canceled at the end of the trial, a charge will be deducted automatically. Subscriptions are renewed automatically on a regular basis based on the selected cycle, and can be canceled through the account or the relevant payment platform.

Refunds, cancellations, and price changes

• Paid subscriptions are generally non-refundable, unless required by law.
• The operator may, at its discretion, issue a refund within two days after the first subscription payment, and within one day for subsequent renewals; this is not an unconditional guarantee of refund.
• When purchasing through the app store, it is also necessary to follow Apple’s or Google’s procedures for refunds and subscription management.
• The subscription fee can be changed in subsequent billing cycles, and the service provider commits to giving reasonable notice in advance; if the new price is not accepted, it should be canceled before it takes effect.

Platforms and languages

The product page suggests using a desktop or laptop when more precise control is needed. Mobile apps are suitable for quick edits, but the small screen size may reduce the accuracy of selecting complex edges.

API, SDK, and open-source status

• An official page used to provide information on the Magic Eraser API, which allows for the restoration of areas in an image that have been deleted using AI; however, the main entry point for this API now redirects to the product’s home page.
• Since the English development documentation that is still accessible, key applications, current prices, rate limits, SDKs, or runnable examples have not been confirmed in this instance, the API cannot be regarded as a verified and current method of access.
• No official GitHub repository corresponding to the entity responsible for managing the product was identified, nor was any open-source license for the product’s source code found; Magic Eraser should be considered a proprietary online service and application.
• If a company needs automated processing, it should first request from the sales team the current API documentation, test keys, data processing protocols, and service levels, before assessing the possibility of integration.

Copyright and commercial use

• Users retain the right to input content and, within the limits permitted by law, have the right to output it; the operator transfers any rights it may have regarding the output to the users.
• Users must possess the rights, permissions, and authorizations necessary to upload photos; they cannot circumvent the licensing requirements related to photographic works, trademarks, or materials just because the tool can remove text or watermarks.
• Commercial projects may use legitimate inputs and outputs, but they must verify compliance with requirements regarding portrait rights, privacy rights, trademarks, copyrights, and the authenticity of advertisements.
• The platform may use the content to improve its machine models, and it retains permanently the abstract insights learned from that content. Care should be taken when dealing with confidential customer materials, unreleased products, and identification photos.

Privacy and data security

• Image input, as well as text input and output, are usually temporarily saved for processing, but they can also be saved and processed separately to improve the model.
• Users can request the deletion of their profile data and image files, and the service provider states that it will do its best to process such requests within seven working days; any remaining copies may be retained for up to ninety days.
• Data from users outside the country may be transmitted to the United States for processing. The platform employs security measures, but it cannot guarantee absolute security for data transmission and storage over the Internet.
• According to information provided by developers on Google Play, Android apps may share device identifiers for advertising purposes, and they collect data on app performance as well as device identifiers; the transmission of this data is encrypted, and it is possible to request its deletion.
• According to information provided by Apple’s developers, iPhone apps may handle purchase records, contact information, identifiers, usage data, and diagnostic data; some of these identifiers can be used for tracking across different apps.

Capacity limits and precautions

• AI interpolation relies on the surrounding pixels; it tends to cause distortions or repeated textures in areas with many faces, fingers, text, straight lines in buildings, repetitive patterns, and complex shadows.
• Deleting larger elements does not mean restoring the actual content that was obscured; the areas generated are merely the result of the model’s predictions, and they cannot be used as evidence in legal, medical, or news-related matters.
• The free version offers low resolution and brand markings, which are not suitable for high-quality outputs; batch processing is available only for certain tools, and the exact number of such tools can be checked in the account settings.
• Photo editing must not be used to mislead in transactions, impersonate others, harm individuals, or spread false information; nor should unauthorized photos of faces and private images be uploaded.

Summary

The advantage of Magic Eraser is that it allows for quick image editing on web pages and mobile devices without the need for complex selection tools; its brush functions, zoom capabilities, repeated erasing options, and batch processing features cover the common tasks related to image editing. It is well suited for efficient editing of everyday content, e-commerce materials, and real estate-related images, though complex backgrounds still require manual review.

Before making a payment, it is important to check the settlement amount for your specific region, the options related to automatic renewal, the resolution of the downloaded images, and the deadline for requesting a refund. When dealing with sensitive or confidential images, it is also necessary to consider the potential uses for improving the models, the procedures for handling such images across borders, and the time frame within which any remaining copies must be deleted.
