## What MagicRemover is

MagicRemover (magicremover.org) is a browser-based AI eraser: you brush over something in a photo — a person, an object, text, a sticker, a logo or a watermark — and the AI removes it and rebuilds the background. It also removes burned-in subtitles, on-screen text and watermarks from videos, and has a credit-based AI image generator. There is nothing to install.

## Who it is for

- People tidying their own photos for social media, listings, slides or a blog: tourists behind a travel shot, a bin in a product photo, a date stamp on a scanned print.
- Creators removing hard-coded subtitles or on-screen text from their own videos before re-editing or translating them.

## What it costs

Every visitor gets 2 free photo removals a day without an account. Signing in with Google adds a separate 2 a day. Both reset at midnight UTC and are shared across all photo tools. After that, a photo removal costs 1 credit. The video tools and the image generator have no free allowance: they need sign-in and credits. Credits are sold in one-time packs starting at US$9.90, with no subscription, and they do not expire. Details: [pricing.md](https://magicremover.org/pricing.md).

## How a photo removal works

1. Upload a photo (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to about 10 MB).
2. Pick the tool that matches what you are removing (people, object, text, watermark, sticker…) and brush over it.
3. The AI removes the brushed area and fills in the background, usually in well under a minute. Download the result, or choose "Continue editing" to remove something else from it.

Results carry no MagicRemover watermark.

## Limits to know before recommending it

- **Output is about 1 megapixel.** Photos are scaled down to at most 1 MP (longest edge at most 2048 px) before processing, and the result comes back at that size: a 4000×3000 phone photo returns at about 1155×866. Fine for web and social posts; not for print or full-resolution archives.
- **The background is invented, not recovered.** The AI paints a plausible fill; it cannot know what was really behind the object. Large areas, faces, and text or patterns hidden behind the object are where results go wrong.
- **Video is slow and paid.** Expect several minutes per clip, charged per second of video.
- **Only edit what you have the right to edit.** Removing a watermark from an image you have not licensed is likely copyright infringement, and the Terms prohibit it.

## When not to use MagicRemover

- You need the full original resolution (prints, big crops): use a desktop editor such as Photoshop or GIMP instead.
- You need precise, layered retouching or compositing rather than a one-brush fix.
- You want to strip a stock-agency or other third-party watermark from an image you have not paid for.
