Remove.bg is a new free online service that you may use to remove the background of photos automatically that you upload to the service.

Sometimes, you may want to remove background noise from an image, for instance to copy an object without the background as part of a collage.

The free service is entirely automatic, and there is no need to manually select the background or foreground layers to separate them. Images can be uploaded in any resolution, but the output result will be limited to 500 x 500 pixels. All it takes is to select your image, and then download the result with the background removed within five seconds. Though the service currently only works for photos with persons or faces, it is powered by “sophisticated A.I. technology,” and there are also several algorithms running in the background which helps improve the finest details in the end output.

The manual approach to remove background from a photo is certainly the most accurate option but it requires a certain set of skills, proficiency with an image editor capable of doing so, that many computer users don’t have.

Remove.bg is a new service that is free currently. The service automates the process; all you have to do is select a photo that you want processed, and click on the download button once the processing completes to download the processed photo to the local system.

Remove.bg is a handy service for users who need to remove the background from photos. Those with image editing skills may still prefer to use an image editor to remove the background; anyone else may find remove.bg more than suitable for the job.

Future versions may do away with the “must be a person” limitation so that photos with objects can be processed as well. Options, e.g. to fine tune the result or customize the output would be useful as well.
