Remove your own shadow or stray shadows from a photo
Shooting with the sun behind you drops your own shadow into the frame; shooting a flat-lay from above puts your phone's shadow on the table. The eraser treats a shadow like any other object: mask it and the underlying surface is reconstructed. It removes shadows — it doesn't relight the scene.

Tips for a cleaner result
- Shadows on textured surfaces like grass, sand or wood grain blend best.
- Very large shadows covering most of the frame can't be removed convincingly — reshoot if you can.
- Soft shadows under the main product in product photos look natural; you usually want to keep those.
FAQ
Can it brighten a face that's in shadow?
No. It only replaces masked areas with reconstructed background; it doesn't adjust exposure or lighting.
