These AI tools all work in the same way.

How good that guess is then determines the quality of the end result.

These tools all appear as options when you open images in the relevant apps.

Couch and lamp

For testing purposes, I’ve borrowed some great photos fromTaan Huyn,Tolga Ahmetler, andMarek Piwnicki.

Next wasGoogle Magic Eraser.

Finally, I triedSamsung Object Eraser.

Which AI photo tool does the best job removing a person from a photo?

Man walking

Over toGoogle Magic Eraser, which also wanted to erase people in the background rather than the foreground.

While it’s not perfect, this would probably fool most people at first glance.

Which AI photo tool is best at removing a bicycle from a photo?

Man removal

Google Magic Eraseralso needed several attempts to get the entirety of the bike selected.

It was maybe slightly better than Apple Clean Up, but not by much.

Every photo has different characteristics, and every AI tool has its own approach in dealing with object removal.

Bicycle and field

In terms of my tests,Galaxy AI and Samsung’s Object Eraser are the clear winners.

Apple and Google did okay, and were about on a par with one another.
