Removing Image Backgrounds With Online Tools.

Remove.bg is probably one of the easiest online tools to use you will come across, especially for a process that is quite often complicated. The only limitation is that it can only remove backgrounds from images with people in them. If you try to remove the background from an image without a person, you will receive an error message like the example below. In time I’d expect the service to add support for animals and other common image focal points.

To start the process, simply visit the Remove Image Background home page, and upload an image you wish to remove the background from. The higher the resolution the better of course. After about 5 to 10 seconds, the page will refresh and will be showing you the original image along with a png file with the background removed.

From my experiments with quite a few random images, the results are pretty good, even around complex areas like hair and grassy location. The only time the tool really struggled was when using overexposed or underexposed images or images where defined edges are hard to determine. Admittedly, even if you were to manually cut out an image with these qualities, you’d have some difficulties.

If you are happy with the results, you can right-click the PNG file and download it to your computer. Overall the tool is damn good at what it does, especially for a free one that takes seconds to complete the task.
