How to use Image Eraser

Image tools guide for image eraser users.

The eraser tool lets you remove backgrounds, objects, or watermarks by painting over them with a transparent brush. The result is a PNG with transparent areas where you erased. This is useful for isolating subjects, removing small imperfections, or cleaning up logos.

For full automatic background removal, try the Image Background Remover tool. The manual eraser is better for precision tasks where you need control over exactly what is removed.

A manual brush-based eraser that paints transparency onto an image. Output must be PNG to preserve the transparent areas.

How to use it

Use a small brush size for fine detail near edges.
Zoom in on the canvas for precision near boundaries.
Use the Background Remover tool for automatic, whole-background removal.

Answers

Image Eraser FAQs

Why must I save as PNG and not JPG?

JPG does not support transparency. Transparent areas saved as JPG become white. PNG preserves the alpha channel.

Can I restore erased areas?

Use Undo to reverse the most recent stroke. Once the file is downloaded, the erased areas are gone.

Is this the same as removing the background?

This is a manual eraser. Image Background Remover uses AI to remove backgrounds automatically. Use this tool for precision work.

Does this upload my image?

No. All erasing runs on the Canvas API in your browser. Your image never leaves your device.
