The Generative Erase feature in Paint Windows 11 is the latest innovation that makes it easier for users to edit photos. With advanced AI technology, this feature can automatically remove unwanted objects from images.
In contrast to the traditional method of leaving only empty areas or requiring manual editing, Generative Erase uses AI algorithms to fill in the deleted regions with a suitable background so that the results look natural and professional.

Understanding Generative Erase in Paint Windows 11
Generative Erase utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze images and remove unwanted objects. Here’s how it works:
- The AI examines the image to understand its structure and contents, including the object it wants to remove and its background.
- Once an object is removed, the AI estimates how the background will look based on the patterns and textures around it.
- The AI fills in the blank areas with the corresponding pixels so the result looks natural and doesn’t damage the original background.
If you remove someone from the beach image, the AI will fill the space with sand, sea, or sky that matches the original background.
