Magic Eraser is part of a bigger ecosystem. Clean Image does one thing — and keeps everything on your device.
Magic Eraser is the object removal tool inside Magic Studio — a suite of AI image editing tools that includes a background remover, image upscaler, and AI image generator. It's well-polished and the eraser tool works well, especially for complex edits. Magic Studio is designed as a complete editing workflow: upload an image, remove the background, upscale it, erase unwanted objects, and download — all in one place.
The catch: everything goes through Magic Studio's servers. Your image is uploaded, processed, and (they say) deleted afterward. The free tier limits you to a handful of edits. Pro plans unlock unlimited use.
Clean Image isn't trying to be a full editing suite. It does one thing: remove text and objects from photos. And it does it entirely in your browser — no server, no upload, no account. The AI model (OpenCV LaMa at 88MB) downloads once to your browser cache. After that, every edit is local. You can edit 100 photos or 1 photo — makes no difference to us. There's nothing to meter because there's no server cost.
This matters for two reasons. First, privacy: your photos never leave your device. Not for processing, not for storage, not at all. Second, speed: no waiting for upload, no server queue, no download. The AI runs on your hardware and results are instant after the first model load.
