Select Any Object in Your Image
Paint over what to keep or remove. AI-powered precision selection.
How it works
Upload your image and activate magic select. Roughly paint over the object you want to select — you do not need to be precise.
The AI analyzes your brush strokes and snaps the selection to the object's true edges, including fine detail like hair, leaves, and intricate shapes.
Use the selection to isolate the object, remove it, or pass it to another tool like generative fill. Download the result or keep editing.
Features
Edge-snapping AI
Paint a rough stroke over your subject and the AI finds the precise boundary. It handles complex edges, transparency, and overlapping objects.
Add and subtract selections
Refine your selection by adding regions you missed or subtracting areas that were included by mistake. Each adjustment re-runs the AI for an updated boundary.
Multi-object selection
Select multiple separate objects in a single pass. Paint over each one and the AI treats them as part of the same selection mask.
Fine detail handling
The model excels at hair, fur, mesh, fencing, tree branches, and other subjects that traditional selection tools struggle with.
Works with any tool
Use your selection as input for background removal, generative fill, or the brush tool. Magic select creates the mask; other tools act on it.
Pro feature
Magic select is available on Pro and Studio plans. It costs 1 credit per selection operation, making it efficient for detailed editing workflows.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to trace the object precisely?+
No. A rough brush stroke over the object is enough. The AI interprets your intent and snaps to the actual edges. You can then refine by adding or subtracting from the selection.
Is magic select available on the free plan?+
Magic select is a Pro feature. Free accounts can use background removal, crop, and brush tools. Upgrade to Pro or Studio to access magic select along with 200 or 750 monthly credits.
How is magic select different from background removal?+
Background removal automatically separates the main subject from the background. Magic select lets you choose any specific object or region in the image, giving you more control over what gets selected.
Can I select text or logos in an image?+
Yes. The AI can identify and select text, logos, and graphic elements. Paint over the text region and the selection will snap to the letterforms.
What happens after I make a selection?+
You can delete the selected area, extract it as a separate layer, apply generative fill to replace it, or use the brush tool to refine it further. The selection is a starting point for many editing operations.
