To remove the background of an image in Google Drawings (or Google Slides or Google Vids), right-click the image and select "Remove background".
Here's a breakdown:
-
Select the Image: First, make sure the image you want to edit is inserted into your Google Drawing, Slide, or Vid.
-
Right-Click: Right-click directly on the image. This will open a context menu.
-
Choose "Remove background": Look for the "Remove background" option in the menu. Click on it. Google will attempt to automatically detect and remove the background.
Important Considerations:
- Automatic Removal: Google's background removal tool is automated. Its accuracy depends on the image itself. Images with clear subjects and well-defined backgrounds yield the best results.
- Editing: After the automatic removal, Google Drawings/Slides/Vids typically offer tools to refine the selection further. You can often use a "mark areas to keep" or "mark areas to remove" tool to improve the result.
- Alternatives: If the automatic tool doesn't produce the desired result, you might need to use a dedicated image editing program (like GIMP, Photoshop, or online tools like remove.bg) to remove the background and then insert the processed image into your Google Drawing.
