Google introduced its Magic Eraser feature with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, and it made a huge splash because it made it easier to remove uninvited guests and objects from images. Google wasn’t the first or only one to bring an object-erasing functionality at that time, though. Samsung launched a similar feature called Object Eraser with the Galaxy S21 the same year, and Adobe Photoshop has been able to do it for many years. Google’s clever implementation on the software front made it look almost like magic, but is Google’s tool to remove photo bombers actually the best one out there?
Largely, your choice may be determined by whether you have a Pixel phone (or Google One subscription on any phone) or Samsung flagship phone. I have both, so this was of interest to me to see which one have the edge. It does appear that one does a slightly cleaner job of erasing, though.
There are also other third-party apps out there that do object erasing, but these were not evaluated in this review. But bear in mind, like moon shots, this is “faking” the photo.
