How do I remove the background in Photopea?

Published in Photo Editing 1 min read

To remove the background in Photopea, open your image and use the "Remove BG" tool.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open Photopea: Go to Photopea.com.
  2. Open Your Image: Click File in the top left corner, then select Open. Choose the image you want to edit from your computer.
  3. Remove the Background: Click Select in the top menu, then choose Remove BG. Photopea will automatically attempt to remove the background.

Important Considerations:

  • Automatic Background Removal: The Remove BG tool uses AI to detect and remove the background. The effectiveness depends on the complexity of the image. Images with clear foreground subjects and distinct backgrounds work best.
  • Manual Refinement: If the automatic background removal isn't perfect, you may need to refine the selection manually. Photopea offers various selection tools (like the Lasso Tool, Magic Wand, and Quick Selection) to fine-tune the selection before removing the background or after using Remove BG. You can then use the Delete key or add a layer mask to refine the background removal.
