Photo Eraser

Photo Eraser fills a narrow niche: mobile users who need to cut out an object and drop it onto a new background without learning a full editor. The smart cutout—drawing a closed curve and letting the app trace the subject—is intuitive and works best on high-contrast subjects that sit clearly against their background. The manual cutout is a useful fallback when edges are tricky, and adjustable brush sizes give you some precision. You also get expected basics: move, zoom, rotate, crop, and direct save/share to your photo library. The interface is lightweight, so you're up and running in seconds. Where the app stumbles is depth. There's no AI edge detection for hair or complex overlays, no layering, no color or exposure tools, no batch processing, and no web or desktop counterpart—so your workflow stops the moment you're away from your phone. For social media profile pics, collages, or quick product shots of clean objects, it's fine. But professional designers, heavy e-commerce sellers who need consistent cutouts, and anyone who works across multiple devices will quickly run into its ceiling. The app is currently free, which is a strong entry point for casual users. But because the feature set is thin, paying options or advanced tools aren't available in-app—we couldn't verify if any premium tier exists. Given the simplicity, it's hard to imagine this replacing any professional tool. Adobe Photoshop Express has more editing power and is also free, while Remove.bg outperforms it on automated background removal, especially for hair. If you're after a zero-cost, lightweight mobile option for occasional edits, Photo Eraser can work—just manage your expectations for complex images.
