How to Remove Objects in Photos on Samsung Phone

Removing unwanted objects from your photos is a common editing task, and for Samsung phone users, it's quite straightforward. Let's dive into how you can clean up your images using your Samsung device.

Samsung phones come equipped with features tailored for seamless photo editing, making it easier and quicker to get rid of distracting elements in your pictures.

Here are a few methods to try out if you want to remove undesired items from your photos taken on Samsung phones:

Using the Object Eraser Feature

Samsung offers a built-in tool called the Object Eraser in its latest models, like the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G that I use. Here's how to use it to delete objects from your photos:

1. Open the photo you want to edit.
2. Tap the pencil icon to access the editing tools.

3. Hit the three dots on the right side of the screen and choose “Object eraser.”

4. Tap on or circle the area around the object you wish to remove. For instance, if you want to erase two people in the background, just tap on each one.
5. Press “Erase” and wait for the tool to do its magic.

6. Once the object is removed, tap “Done.” Save your edited photo to the gallery like you usually would.

In addition to erasing objects, you can also eliminate shadows and reflections from your photos using the “Erase shadows” and “Erase reflection” options.

The undo and redo buttons are handy for making quick corrections without having to start over, especially if you make a mistake or change your mind about an edit.

Capturing a Specific Object from a Photo

Want to isolate and capture a specific object from a photo? Samsung phones have a feature that makes this easy, similar to what you might find on an iPhone. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it:

1. Choose the photo from which you want to extract an object.
2. Tap and hold on the object for a few seconds until a dialog box pops up.

3. You’ll see a few options in this dialog box. To copy the object to your clipboard, select “Copy.” If you want to save the object as a standalone image without any background, choose “Save as image.”

Deleting Photo Objects with Apps

If you're looking to remove objects from photos on your Samsung phone, several apps available on the Google PlayStore can help. Two popular ones are the Pic Retouch-Remove Objects app and the Remove Unwanted Object app. Here's how to use both:

1. Pic Retouch – Remove Objects

Using the Pic Retouch app is straightforward. Here’s what you need to do:

• Download and open the Pic Retouch - Remove Objects app.
• From the homepage, tap the “Remove objects” option.
• Allow the app to access your phone's gallery, then pick the photo you want to edit.

• Choose the “AI Remover”.

• Use the “Auto” feature, which automatically detects and highlights objects for removal.
• Tap on the unwanted object and press “Remove”.
• Save your changes by tapping the checkmark in the top right corner.

This app also offers a manual removal tool next to the auto feature and additional tools like the lasso for more precise editing. Pic Retouch is free for the first three days, after which you can opt for a paid Pro version.

While handy, the app might show errors or glitches in editing, and photos edited with the free version carry watermarks.

2. Remove Unwanted Object

he Remove Unwanted Object app is also user-friendly. Here's how you use it:

• Download and launch the Remove Unwanted Object app.
• Select the photo you wish to edit.
• Choose the “Brush” tool, highlight the object to be removed, and hit the “Process” button.

• Once processed, save the photo by pressing the “Save” button.

This app performs quickly, but be prepared for frequent ads, which is typical for free apps.

Both these apps provide useful alternatives for editing photos on Samsung phones, but for best results and fewer hassles, I recommend sticking with the built-in photo editing features of Samsung devices. They are not only more reliable but also integrate seamlessly with your phone’s capabilities. Good luck with your photo edits!
