Any simple way to remove background from image quickly?

Removing a background is one of the most common and powerful tasks in photo editing. It allows you to isolate a subject to place it on a new background, create a composite image, or design a product photo for an e-commerce site. Photoshop doesn't have a single "magic" button for this; instead, it offers a suite of tools tailored for different types of images. The best tool depends heavily on the complexity of the subject and its background.

How to remove background from image with Photoshop

Step 1: Open your image in Photoshop.

Step 2:Select the Remove Tool from the toolbar (its icon is a brush with a circle and a dotted line around it). If you don't see it, it might be grouped with the Spot Healing Brush tool.

Step 3:Adjust the brush size using the [ and ] keys so it's an appropriate size for the areas you want to remove.

Step 4:Paint over the background. You don't have to be perfectly precise. As you paint, Photoshop's AI will analyze the image and replace the background with content that matches the surrounding area, often creating a seamless result.

Step 5: Refine the edges. Zoom in and check the edges of your subject. If any background remnants are left, brush over them again. If the tool accidentally removed part of your subject, press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo and use a smaller, more precise brush.
