Obtained the best picture ever but realized something or someone was in the background. Unfortunately, in this article, you won’t hear about the technologies that allow you to remove objects from the screen or photos in older versions of iPhone – only those that are available in iPhone 15 Pro and later improvements. Here’s how!
Option 1: They only need to apply the Google Photos Magic Eraser.
In my view, there is no stronger contender than Google’s incredibly AI-driven tool, Magic Eraser, on the Google Photos app. It was first for Google’s Pixel devices only, but now it supports iPhones on the latest iOS 16, too.
Requirements:
- iPhone that hasn’t had the Google Photos app pre-installed on its operating system.
- Google One subscription (even the free version enables only 10 edits monthly; paid versions don’t have the edit limit).
Steps to Use Magic Eraser:
1. Install and Set Up Google Photos:
- Open the Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS devices and install the Google Photos app. After that, sign in to your Google account.
- Make sure to give permission to access the photo library.
2. Open and Edit the Image:
- Click the Photos tab at the top of the page and browse to the image you wish to retouch.
- Double-click on the image, choose Edit as a tool, and then Magic Eraser.
3. Remove Unwanted Objects:
- Select, Erase choosing this; Google Photos will automatically highlight the unwanted objects.
- Click on them or paint over the object you want to remove.
4. Save Your Edited Photo:
- If done, hit the Done button, then Save or Save as Copy to save the image in the camera roll.
That is why Google Photos’ Magic Eraser is relatively easy to use and provides almost the same effect as Apple’s Clean Up function.
Option 2: Apply Cleanup. Pictures for single changes only
For a single edit, you don’t have to install an application or subscribe; use the cleanup. pictures website.
Steps to Use Cleanup.pictures:
1. Go to the cleanup. pictures URL on your browser.
2. Choose Tap here to load your picture; the photo will be imported from your library, camera and files.
3. Turn the Brush Size slider, if needed, for greater accuracy.
4. Drag it over the object you want deleted, then tap clean.
5. To compare the differences, click on the eye-shaped symbol in the page’s upper right corner.
6. Click on the Save icon to download the actual edited image.
Note: The free version of Cleanup. Pictures offer to download images at 720px resolution. However, a premium upgrade is needed if you want a higher resolution.
Key Takeaways
- That is why Google Photos is the best choice for more frequent usage, as it offers strong AI and unlimited premium edits.
- Cleanup. Pictures are a good example of the free service, which may be useful if you need to apply quick changes several times.
- It’s proven that both tools provide exceptional performance and can compete with Apple’s Clean Up feature on the iPhone 15 Pro and later.
Although Apple has only made the Clean Up tool available to its latest devices, it is helping its older iPhone users know that there are similar tools that can make the job much easier.
