“A great image is more than just pixels—it’s about creating space for the subject to shine.”
Has it ever happened that your almost perfect photo got ruined by a distracting background or an unnecessary element? To me, it happens often. I can understand how frustrating it can get when the main subject in an image looks flawless, but something around him/her messes up the whole aesthetic of that picture.
I always used to get annoyed with it, because obviously I can’t go in time and capture that moment again without that off-putting detail. So, I found a different solution for it, and that is BG Remove.
I’ve been using this AI-powered background removal tool for a long time now, and it has enhanced and refined numerous shots for me. In this article, I will share with you everything about the app, from how it works to troubleshooting common issues in it. So, read till the end and learn to fix the background of your pictures.
Understanding BG Remove
BG Remove is a highly sophisticated background-removing tool that lets you easily and quickly edit your background with unparalleled precision and flexibility for free. It not only allows you to adjust the backdrop of a picture but also provides the feature of adding another one of your choice to the image.
You might ask, what makes it different from other AI photo erasers available, or why use BG Remove?
Let me answer this with my experience, I’ve always faced issues with precision while editing with other apps. I don’t want my pictures to look highly edited.
BG Remove uses AI to identify and separate a foreground object from its background and carefully handles every edge and detail to ensure a clean, seamless, and natural-looking result. After seeing its accuracy, I can say that it is one of the best tools for aspiring software developers, and I will never switch to any other app for this job.
FUN FACT The first digital photo editor was created in 1987 by Thomas and John Knoll, who developed Photoshop. Photoshop revolutionized the industry and set the stage for the photo editing tools we use today.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using BG Remove
Using BG Remove is simple and uncomplicated. You can delete components from your picture in just a minute with only a few clicks. Here is a step-by-step guide to do so –
Step 1: Uploading Your Image
Once on the homepage of BG Remove, you will see an option to upload your image. Follow these steps:
Click on the Upload Button: Look for a button that says “Upload Image” or similar. This will open a file selection dialog on your computer.
Select Your Image: Choose the image file you want to edit. BG Remove supports various formats, including JPG, PNG, and WebP. Ensure that your image file size does not exceed the maximum limit (usually around 50MB).
Confirm Upload: After selecting your image, click “Open” or “Upload” in the dialog box. The tool will begin processing your image immediately.
Step 2: Automatic Background Removal
After uploading your image, BG Remove will automatically detect and remove the background from your photo. This process typically takes only a few seconds.
Wait for Processing: During this time, you may see a loading icon or message indicating that the image is being processed. Patience is key here; most images are processed quickly.
Step 3: Reviewing the Results
Once the processing is complete, you will be presented with the edited image featuring a transparent background or a new background if you choose to replace it:
Preview Your Image: Take a moment to review the results. Look closely at the edges of your subject to ensure that they are clean and free from unwanted remnants of the background.
Check for Accuracy: If there are any areas that seem off—such as parts of the background still visible or rough edges—you may want to consider making adjustments manually in another editing software or using BG Remove’s editing features if available.
Step 5: Customizing Your Background (Optional)
If you wish to replace the transparent background with a new one or remove watermarks, follow these steps:
Select Background Options: Look for an option that allows you to change or customize the background. This could include options for solid colors or pre-set scenes.
Choose Your New Background: Select a color or upload another image that you want as your new background.
Apply Changes: Once you’ve made your selection, apply the changes and wait for BG Remove to update your image accordingly.
Step 6: Downloading Your Image
After finalizing your edits and ensuring everything looks good:
Click on Download: Look for a button labeled “Download” or “Save Image.” Click on it to begin downloading your edited image.
Choose File Format: If prompted, select your preferred file format (such as PNG for transparency or JPG for standard images).
Save Locally: Choose where on your computer you would like to save the file and confirm by clicking “Save.”
Best Practices for Using BG Remove
BG Remove is known for its perfection and to make the most out of it, I use these best practices, that you can also follow for the finest results.
Using high-resolution and clear shots – Before uploading for editing, I always make sure that the photo has enough details for the tool to work on and is well-lit to distinguish the subject from the backdrop.
Using suitable picture format – I upload the pictures that need to be used with transparent backgrounds in a compatible format such as JPG, PNG, or TIFF.
Refrain from over-editing – I don’t want my pictures to look unnatural, so I edit accordingly. Remember that the goal is to enhance your photograph without losing its authenticity.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
There is a possibility that you might face some common issues while altering some elements in the photo. Here are some of the issues that I had to deal with –
Incorrect subject detection – The AI can sometimes make a mistake in detecting the parts to be edited or vice versa. Using manual detection tools can help you easily overcome this issue.
Inaccurate cutouts – Sometimes the result may look unprofessional or untidy, here the problem might be in the photograph that is being used. Make sure you are using a high-quality picture with good lighting.
Slow processing times – This issue can occur due to using complex, large, and high-resolution pictures. You can fix it by resizing or changing the format of the photo.
DO YOU KNOW? According to verified market research, the photo editing market size was worth USD 318.2 million in 2023 and growing at a CAGR of 4.2%, it is projected to reach USD 572.3 million by the end of 2030
