Magic Eraser vs Apple's Magic Eraser

Apple's object eraser is the Clean Up tool in the Photos app, part of Apple Intelligence. It removes distractions cleanly and is well integrated into iOS, but it requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence (recent iPhone/iPad/Mac) and stays within the Photos app.

Not locked to recent Apple hardware

Apple's Clean Up needs a device that supports Apple Intelligence — a recent iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Magic Eraser runs in any browser, so it works on Android phones, older iPhones, Windows PCs, and Chromebooks where Clean Up simply is not available.

Task-specific tools beyond a general eraser

Apple's Clean Up is one general distraction-removal tool inside Photos. Magic Eraser adds 130+ dedicated removers — emoji, watermark, sticker, date stamp, glare, reflection — plus enhancement and generative fill for jobs Clean Up does not target.

Open on the web, share a link

Clean Up lives inside the Photos app on a supported device. Magic Eraser is a standalone web tool you can open instantly and link directly to — useful for sending someone the exact tool rather than a how-to for an app they may not have.

Batch and production workflows

For cleaning a batch of photos at once, Magic Eraser offers batch processing. Apple's Clean Up is a one-photo-at-a-time manual edit in the Photos app.
