Magic Eraser is convenient — but your photos travel to a server. Clean Image keeps everything on your device.
Magic Eraser (by Magic Studio) is a polished online editor that removes objects from photos in seconds. It's well-designed and easy to use. But every image you edit goes through their servers for AI processing. That means uploading, server-side inference, and potential data retention.
Clean Image uses the same underlying technology (AI inpainting with LaMa model) but executes entirely in your browser via ONNX Runtime Web. No server processes your images. No upload bandwidth consumed. No account. No limits. And unlike Magic Eraser's free tier restrictions, Clean Image gives you unlimited edits — the AI runs on your hardware, so there's nothing for us to meter.
