Erasing people and things

A stranger walking through your shot, a bin, a cable, a sticker: paint over it, tap Erase now, and the app fills the spot from what is around it. All of it happens on your phone.

1. Open the photo, tap it to show its actions, then Edit.
2. Tap Erase, the last tool at the bottom.
3. Paint over what should go with your finger. What you paint shows in red. A single tap marks a dot.
4. Size sets how wide the brush is: thin for a cable, wide for a person.
5. Tap Erase now. A circle turns while the phone works; a few seconds later the spot is filled.

Clear takes away what you painted before you erase. Undo, at the top, brings back what was erased.

• Paint a little past the edges, and over the shadow too. A thin line of what you wanted gone is what gives it away.
• Several things at once: paint them all, then one Erase now. Each one is filled on its own.
• Big things, in passes: erase part of it, look, then paint and erase what is left.
• Plain backgrounds work best: sky, sea, a wall, grass, sand, a floor. Something large in front of a face or detailed patterns is filled less convincingly; Undo and try a smaller area.

• A small model inside the app does the filling. The photo is never sent anywhere to be erased, and it works with no network.
• Erasing uses no AI requests from your plan.
• The photo keeps its full size: only the spots you painted change, every other pixel stays as it was.

To take words out of a photo, the app can find them for you: see erasing text. Nothing is written to your photo until you save.
