Easy way to erase background from photos on my Win11 PC?

For a basic photo background eraser, the Windows Photos app includes a built-in background editing feature. It can automatically identify the main subject and provides options to remove or blur the surrounding background without requiring a separate editing program.

Open the image in Photos and select Edit image or press Ctrl + E. Choose the Background option, wait for the subject to be detected, and select Remove to make the background transparent. Save the edited image as a new file and use PNG when transparency needs to be preserved.

When using the built-in tool as a photo background eraser, check the edges around hair, clothing, and other detailed areas before saving, since automatic detection may not always separate complex backgrounds accurately.
