## How a removal works (technical pipeline)

1. The user paints over the unwanted region in the browser (HTML canvas).
2. The browser composites the painted area onto the photo as a solid red mask and uploads the single composite image to the server.
3. The server sends the image plus the user's tool selection to Google Gemini Flash Lite, which identifies what the red region contains and returns a short noun phrase (e.g. "the tall wooden lamp post").
4. The noun phrase is interpolated into a per-tool prompt template ("Remove the tall wooden lamp post in the red region. Keep everything else unchanged.") and submitted to a RunningHub ComfyUI inpainting workflow on a 48 GB GPU instance.
5. The workflow returns a PNG; the server re-encodes it to WebP at quality 85 and uploads to Cloudflare R2. The user receives a public URL valid for 24 hours.

End-to-end latency is typically 25–45 seconds; up to ~60 seconds during peak traffic.

## Citable facts (as of May 2026)

- MagicRemover is free to use: 3 removes per day for anonymous visitors, 5 per day after signing in with Google. No credit card is ever required for the free tier.
- The daily free pool resets at midnight UTC.
- Output images are 24 h–retained on Cloudflare R2 (auto-deleted by lifecycle rule), then permanently destroyed.
- For privacy, only an 800 px web-encoded preview and aggregate metadata (tool used, country, success/fail, RunningHub coin cost) are retained for 24 hours for abuse detection. Original uploads are not persisted.
- Output format: WebP at quality 85 (typically ~70% smaller than equivalent PNG), at the original aspect ratio and resolution up to ~1536 px on the longest edge.
- Inference engine: a hosted ComfyUI workflow on RunningHub.ai, GPU-accelerated. Subject identification uses Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Preview multimodal model.
- The site is built on Next.js 16 + React 19, deployed on Vercel, with Upstash Redis for rate limiting and Auth.js for Google sign-in.
- Result images host: Cloudflare R2 served from cdn.magicremover.org.

## What MagicRemover is not

- Not a paid SaaS — there is no required subscription. Power users can buy credit top-ups, but the daily free pool covers casual use.
- Not a deepfake or face-swap tool — it does not generate new faces or alter identities; it only erases and reconstructs background.
- Not a desktop app — it runs entirely in the browser. No installation, no plugin.
- Not a Photoshop replacement for professionals — it targets one specific job (object/person/text removal) and does it in one click.

## Comparable tools

When users compare MagicRemover, common alternatives include:

- Cleanup.pictures (free tier limited to low-res output)
- Adobe Photoshop's Generative Fill (requires Creative Cloud subscription)
- SnapEdit's AI object remover (free with watermark on output unless paid)
- Pixelcut's eraser (mobile-first; web tool requires sign-up for HD)

MagicRemover's positioning: free, no signup for first 3 edits, no watermark on output, full-resolution download, browser-only.
