PhotoFix lets you remove unwanted objects from any photo using on-device AI. Just paint over the area you want gone with the brush tool and tap Erase — the LaMa inpainting model reconstructs the background naturally so it looks like the object was never there. Everything runs locally on your iPhone using Apple CoreML, so no internet connection is required and your photos never leave your device.
Brush over the object you want removed, then tap the Erase button. No complex menus, no multi-step workflows. A slider lets you fine-tune brush size from 5 to 40 points for precision or broad strokes.
PhotoFix runs the LaMa inpainting model entirely on your iPhone via Apple CoreML. No network calls, no cloud uploads — your photos stay private and processing works even without a connection.
Only the brushed region is processed by the AI — the rest of your photo is untouched. Focused processing means faster results and a cleaner, more natural finish around the edges.
Tap the save button in the top-right corner and the restored photo is saved straight to your photo library. A confirmation alert appears so you always know the save was successful.
Open a photo, paint over anything you want removed with the semi-transparent pink brush, and tap Erase. The brush color makes it easy to see exactly what area you have covered. Brush size is adjustable from 5 to 40 points via the bottom slider, so you can work precisely on small details or sweep across a large area in seconds.
PhotoFix processes photos using the LaMa model running locally through Apple CoreML. No photo data is sent to any server. The app works completely offline, making it safe to use with sensitive or personal photos in any location, with or without a network connection.
On the first launch, PhotoFix loads a sample image and displays a tutorial overlay showing exactly how to use the brush and Erase button. Follow the on-screen instructions to try it immediately. From the second launch onward, the app opens directly to the photo selection state so you can get straight to work.
PhotoFix uses a forced dark mode with a black background that keeps the focus on your photo. Photo selection and save controls sit at the top; the brush slider and Erase button live at the bottom in a compact control panel. A loading spinner appears during AI processing so you always know what is happening.
Tap the photo icon in the top-left corner and pick any image from your camera roll. The photo loads instantly onto the canvas, ready for editing.
Use the pink brush to paint over the object or area you want gone. Adjust the brush size with the bottom slider for precision. When you are done painting, tap the Erase button.
The LaMa AI model fills in the painted area naturally. When processing finishes, tap the save button in the top-right corner to save the restored photo directly to your camera roll.
"I use this to remove strangers from travel photos. You just paint over them, hit Erase, and the background fills in like they were never there. The fact that it all happens on device makes me feel a lot better about sharing personal photos."
"Great for cleaning up landscape shots — powerlines, signs, random clutter. Shrinking the brush for fine detail work and the results are surprisingly clean. Really simple to use too."
"The tutorial that shows up the first time you open it is brilliant. I knew exactly what to do before I even picked my own photo. No confusing settings, just paint and erase."
