Removing backgrounds from photos is very common, but it’s also a slow, manual, and painful process. It turns out someone has successfully solved this problem. A new free online tool called “Remove.bg” can remove backgrounds from photos in about five seconds. You no longer need Photoshop or any other sophisticated photo editing software to quickly remove the background from your photos.
All you have to do is select a photo from your computer on the website, upload it and within seconds you will receive the results. Remove.bg allows you to download the resulting image in PNG format, with a transparent background.
This free online tool uses artificial intelligence (AI) to understand background and foreground patterns in photos. The only problem here is that currently it can only remove the background in portrait photos. Artificial intelligence searches for people in photos and removes the background. Another drawback is that currently you can only download photos up to 500×500 pixels in size.
The website also claims that it will soon release an easy-to-use API if developers want to integrate the free tool into their apps or websites. It also said that they hope to allow users to download higher resolution photos in the future.
We tried it ourselves and it worked really well. It removes the background in most portrait photos, leaving the foreground very clear.
It does get a bit difficult when the background and foreground appear blurry (see image below).
We even tried removing the background from animal photos, but the results weren’t great, and the AI ​​was smart enough to ask for a real human.
For now, no matter what your use case is, this is a fun and easy way to remove the background from your photos. It’s 100% free and can instantly do the work you normally do with Adobe Photoshop and other photo editing tools. Remove.bg is a useful tool that you need to bookmark right now.
