Bear Eraser

Bear Eraser is a photo editing app for iPhone and iPad that uses AI to remove unwanted objects from pictures. It is meant for people who want to clean up photos by taking out bystanders captured by mistake, tattoos, billboards, sensitive information and other distractions. The app is published by developer Sun ZY and is listed in the Graphics & Design category.

Bear Eraser runs Apple's CoreML machine learning model on the device, so photo editing happens without network requests or servers and photos stay on the user's device. When an object is removed, reconstruction algorithms rebuild the missing or damaged area behind it so that the rest of the image keeps its look. The developer states that the app does not collect any data.

Bear Eraser removes bystanders who were captured in a photo by mistake and can also take out tattoos, billboards, sensitive information and other unwanted elements, leaving cleaner and more organized pictures. Its subtitle, Magic Remove Background Touch, points to touch-based background removal. Bear Eraser is compatible with early iOS 15 devices, and version 2.6.3 includes bug fixes.

Bear Eraser is free to download with in-app purchases priced in Turkish lira: a subscription at ₺99,99, a monthly membership at ₺29,99 and a permanent membership at ₺149,99. It requires iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 or later, works on iPod touch, Macs with an Apple M1 chip and macOS 12.0, and Apple Vision with visionOS 1.0, and is not verified for macOS. It is available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
