On-Device Background Eraser, Scanner & OCR for iPhone
Pixero removes backgrounds, erases objects, scans documents and reads QR codes and text — every operation runs on your phone, with no cloud uploads and no account.
Pixero is a privacy-first photo editor and scanner built on Apple's Vision framework and Neural Engine. One tap gives you a clean background cutout; paint over anything else you want gone and the magic eraser fills it in. Beyond editing, Pixero doubles as a document scanner with perspective correction and multi-page PDF export, an OCR tool that pulls text out of any photo, and a QR/barcode reader with scan history. A built-in redaction tool blurs, pixelates or blacks out faces and text non-destructively.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants Photoshop-style background removal and a document scanner without sending photos to a server or creating an account — freelancers preparing product photos, students scanning notes, and anyone redacting sensitive documents before sharing them.
