Remove the background from a photo
Remove background picks the main subject itself, for 2 credits. To choose which object stays, cut it out instead.
-
Open the Editor and add your photo with Upload (Add images).
-
Choose Remove at the top.
-
In the tool menu at the bottom, pick Background.
-
Choose Remove background on the photo.
-
Check the result on the checkerboard, the transparent space. It gets a new tile in the strip; Show original compares it with the photo.
Then copy it, or export it on a colour.
What to check
Check that it kept the subject you wanted, all of it. A failed removal charges nothing; choose Remove background again.
Common mistakes
- Looking for the brush. Background takes none. To paint over something, switch back to Object (Remove an object).
Questions
On a busy photo, Remove background can keep objects close to the subject, such as props on a table. Cut out the subject instead: your box picks what stays.
Yes. It keeps the photo's size and framing; only the background turns transparent.
Yes. Remove never changes the photo: choose the first tile in the strip, the photo as you opened it, or Undo.
Yes. Ask the Agent to remove the background of up to 20 photos in one message, or run a workflow with a Remove step set to Background (Run a workflow on many images). Each photo is charged on its own.
