The developers of the popular PhotoRoom service have added the ability to discreetly remove image elements. This is useful if you need to quickly erase objects from the foreground or improve the background of the photo. While Magic Retouch is available as a web service, it should also be available as a mobile app.

You need to upload a photo to the site in JPEG or PNG format. There are no restrictions on resolution and aspect ratio. Then it is enough to carefully select an extra object or detail with a brush. The size of the brush can be adjusted with the slider.

Magic Retouch handles both small items and large items. It is suitable for removing inscriptions, buildings, people and any other parts on a relatively uniform background. The program takes a few seconds to process the action. The result can be saved to the device file repository.

The algorithm does not always work perfectly, especially in case with large chunks of the image. Therefore, it is worth working more carefully on the selection of the area.

In addition, the free service has one important drawback: it produces files no larger than 1,100 pixels on the largest side, regardless of the original resolution. But it's still a good alternative to a full-fledged editor when you need to quickly fix an image and upload it, for example, to a social network.
