Remove objects with the magic eraser
Last updated: October 23, 2026 · 2 min read
Mark an unwanted area of a photo with the brush and clean it up.
The magic eraser does not delete other blocks on the page; it changes the pixels of the selected photo.

Select the photo on the canvas, open Magic eraser in the Retouch group of the AI Image tab on the right rail and press Start erasing on the canvas. It only works on an image block on the canvas whose background has not been removed.

Paint the area

Set the brush size and drag over the unwanted area. Use a smaller brush for tight details. You can add several strokes; the change only applies to the area you marked.

Apply and compare
