PicWish
An app that removes backgrounds and erases objects in batches.
What PicWish does
PicWish is a photo editor from Wangxu Technology. It removes backgrounds automatically, lets you brush away objects and text, and can process up to 30 photos at once. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows and the web. HD export and most AI tools sit behind Pro.
PicWish covers most of what people mean by "remove background" or "erase something from a picture". The background tool finds the subject on its own, and you can clean up rough edges with a brush. For objects, you mark the people, signs or clutter you want gone and it fills the gap.
There are a few extras that come in handy: a batch mode for up to 30 images, an ID photo maker that swaps the background color and size, and tools to unblur or colorize old photos. Sellers can drop cutouts onto plain product backgrounds.
The catch is pricing. Basic editing is free, but HD export and the AI tools need Pro, and the cheapest-looking option is a weekly plan that adds up fast. One more thing to know: in the US App Store it carries a 17+ age rating. If you only need clean cutouts now and then, a free option might be enough.
