Note: The remove background feature is available under the Premium subscription plans only.
Remove background is a magical new tool to make removing a background literally a one click process.
Use it to remove unnecessary background details from your photo of a person, an item, an animal, buildings and more! Remove a background works great if you want to single out a notable person (a musician or a church pastor) or item (a new handbag or smart phone).
Removing the background also creates emphasis as a background may distract the viewer or worse, make the design feel cluttered or untidy. Additionally, if manual masking is not your thing, remove a background confirms that you’ll end up with a flawless result with no rough edges.
