What Is Samsung’s Object Eraser Tool and How Does It Work?
The Samsung Object Eraser Tool is an image editing feature that you can find on most Samsung Galaxy Android smartphones—though not available on all Samsung phones. This feature is backed by AI and helps you erase unwanted objects from your photos by blending the background intelligently using Galaxy AI.

So, to cope with such situations and save your peace of mind, the Object Eraser Tool from Samsung is worth a try.

- In the image below, which shows an aeroplane, I'll first select my object (the aeroplane itself) by drawing a circle around it and let magnetic lasso do the rest of the work to select the object precisely.
- If you ever make a wrong selection, tap the 'Undo changes' button that you can find just below the 'Erase shadows' button in the object eraser tool editor.
- Now once magnetic lasso selects the object properly, tap the 'Erase' button and let the Samsung Gallery app take care of the rest.
- Once the object gets erased, tap 'Done' to return to the main photo editor in the Gallery app. Here, do not tap 'Save' yet else you will lose your original photo. Instead tap the menu option in the top right corner (three vertical dots) and select 'Save copy.' This way you will have both the original and the edited version of the same photo that you can compare further to check the precision of the object eraser tool.
