One of the sections on which Google focuses the most efforts With each new generation of the Pixel is the photographic. With the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, we have witnessed the arrival, once again, of advanced cameras with larger sensors, brighter optics and new computational photography algorithms.
And precisely within the novelties of the software is where we find the magic eraser (Magic Eraser), a function that allows remove unwanted elements from images. In principle, it is exclusive to the Pixel 6, but we can have it in other Pixels by installing the corresponding APK. And on other Android phones?

Some like ‘Touch Retouch’ are paid, but below we collect several free alternatives.
