Brush over a small distraction on a simple background. Erase Cat uses MI-GAN in your browser to fill the selected area, without uploading your photo or requiring an account. Download the result as a free PNG. The first run needs a model download; processing depends on your browser, device and image size. Inspect textures, lettering and subject edges against the original before using the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

The photo and brush selection are processed in your browser, without uploading them to an erasing service. The first use downloads the model; loading the site and model requires network access.

Why does the first edit take time?

The browser must fetch and initialize a model. It can cache the model, but the browser may clear that cache and processing still depends on your device. If loading fails, keep your photo and selection and retry. Redownload the model only when model loading is the issue.

What should I try removing?

Start with small clutter on a simple background and include the object edges and shadow in your brush selection. Repeating patterns, text, large objects and areas beside a subject can leave seams or distortions. Generated fill does not recover factual hidden detail; compare it with the original before use.

If another edit fails, can I keep the last result?

A failed operation keeps the current photo, brush selection and last successful download. A successful edit clears its selection. Undo is for unprocessed brush strokes; it does not undo a completed erase.

Which images are supported, and what size is the download?

Choose a JPG, PNG or WEBP with up to 4 million pixels (4 MP), no more than 4096 px on either side and a file size up to 20 MiB. Supported photos export as a PNG at their original dimensions. If a photo exceeds these limits, choose an externally resized copy; the tool does not resize it automatically. Processing also depends on available browser memory.
