Remove.bg Review
Written by Victoria Hoadley • Edited by Brenda Zhang
What Is Remove.bg?
Have you ever wanted to remove a background from an image but don't want to spend a long time doing it or a lot of money on an Adobe subscription? Look no further. Remove.bg enables you to do just that effortlessly and quickly.
How Does Remove.bg Work?
Remove.bg is very easy to use. Simply select the photo that you want to remove the background of and the website does it for you.
If there are any details you wish to keep, you can use their "Magic Brush" tool and drag it over the area to bring it back, but make sure it's on the restore setting. They also have an erase option for the details you don't want to keep.
If you want to replace the background with a stock photo or a photo of your own, just upload it or select from their presets. Just take a look at the insanely cool new background we added to our logo after removing an existing background.
