What it does
- Paint over anything you want removed
- Magic Eraser fills from surrounding pixels, on your machine, free
- An AI pass on Pro for busy or structured backgrounds
- Clone stamp by hand when you want to decide every pixel
The free one, and when it is enough
The Magic Eraser is PatchMatch running in WebAssembly: it searches the rest of the picture for patches that fit the hole and blends them in. On grass, sky, sand, carpet, water — anything without strong structure — it is genuinely hard to tell. It struggles where a straight line or a repeating pattern has to continue through the hole, because it is copying texture, not understanding the scene.
When to reach for the paid pass
Brickwork, tiled floors, window frames, anything with geometry running through the patch. The AI pass has a model of what the scene is, so it can carry a line across the gap. It costs a server call, which is why it is on the paid tier.
No account needed
Every tool that runs on your own machine works logged out, with nothing to sign up for. Signing in adds sync across your devices and share links; Pro adds the passes that need a server. The no-upload page draws the line between the two, and Architecture shows it table by table.
