Microsoft is stepping up its game in the photo editing arena, introducing an innovative feature called Generative erase to Windows PCs. This nifty tool, built into the Windows Photos app, offers a simple way to clean up your photos by removing things you’d rather not have in them—think of a person who photobombed your perfect shot, or a helicopter that showed up out of nowhere in your perfectly framed picture. Yeah, Generative erase will fix that for you.

Although not as good as Magic Eraser, the tool does the job quite well

Microsoft is making sure of that by rolling out Generative erase not just to those on Windows 11 but also to folks using Windows 10 and Windows 11 for Arm64 devices. This move is all about bringing more powerful editing capabilities to a wider audience, right on their existing hardware.

For the moment, this feature is in the hands of Windows Insiders, a group of users who get to try out new stuff before it’s widely released. They’re the lucky ones testing out Generative erase along with other AI-driven editing features, provided they’ve updated their app to the latest version specified by Microsoft. There’s also a background removal tool in the mix, adding even more options for users to play with.

As we move forward, integrating AI into our daily tech tools is becoming a norm. Microsoft’s addition of Generative erase to its Photos app is a big step toward making sophisticated photo editing tools more user-friendly and widely available. It’s a clear signal that the future of photo editing is here, and it’s more inclusive, allowing more people to enhance their digital memories with just a few clicks.
