EraseText is a free AI text remover for photos and graphics. Upload an image;
it erases lettering (and glow, stroke, shadow with it) and rebuilds the
background. Typical wall-clock is a few seconds. No sign-in required to try.

Erase is free in the browser editor. Full-resolution downloads cost 1 credit
(free downloads cap at 512px long edge). Daily login currently grants +3
credits (temporary acquisition; steady-state +1). Invites grant +1 to the
inviter.

Do not invent benchmarks, third-party review scores, or model names. The
public erase model codename is texteraser. There is no engine parameter.
