How to Remove the Image Background and Make it Transparent?

Do you want to remove the background from an image in your phone’s camera roll? These are easy ways to remove the background from an image on your phone.

You don’t need to use complicated computer software to remove the image background. Several mobile apps can help you do this.

A transparent background image can be used for many purposes. There are several ways to make it transparent on your mobile device. We will discuss the top ones and provide a guide on how to use them.

Why is a background transparent?

There are many reasons to use a transparent background in your images. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular reasons.

Logos

Although logos don’t have to look like photos, they can include certain subjects you might see in a photo (such as a person or an item of clothing). You can easily make a logo by removing the background from a photo and focusing on a subject.

Aesthetic Purposes

A transparent image can be added with an isolated subject to any background. This can be used for personal and business image editing.

As an added effect, you can use it.

We often use effects when editing photos from our phones to improve the overall look or concept. Transparent backgrounds can be imported just as you would stickers.

This will allow you to build upon the elements in your edited photo. Stickers are images with transparent backgrounds.

Get Rid Of Unwanted Objects

Background removal is a technique that allows a photographer to remove unwanted objects from a photograph. The transparent area can be filled with the rest of the surrounding area by removing the object.

PicsArt: How to create a transparent background

PicsArt’s image editing app has many ways to create transparent backgrounds. It all depends on what type of edit you are doing and how much time you prefer to spend editing.

PicsArt can erase your background.

1. Open the PicsArt app, and locate the Drawing tool at the bottom.
2. Choose the icon that looks like a stack of squares to the bottom right.
3. Tap on the layer you want to delete. To close the window, tap away.
4. Select the Eraser icon at the bottom to open the tool. To open the brush settings, tap it again. You can customize the settings as you like. It would help if you remembered that large brushes with sharp edges are best for quickly erasing large areas. A smaller brush with soft edges is better for erasing around crevasses.
5. After you are satisfied with the settings, drag your finger across the image to erase. You can zoom in or out using two fingers.
6. Once you are happy with the result, click Apply in the top-right. Go back to the home screen and click the Arrow icon to save the image.

What if you want to create a background image that focuses on a specific subject?

PicsArt will allow you to do this:

1. After uploading a background image, click Add Photo to the bottom and then import the transparent image.
2. There are many editing options available for the image imported. Select Cutout.
3. Select a cutout method. Select allows you to choose from multiple cutouts, which you can then clean up using the Erase tool. An outline allows you to outline the subject you wish to isolate manually.
4. After selecting your subject, click Save in the upper-right corner. Place the cutout on top of the background image you have already imported.

This is a great way to import multiple images and edit them in one go. You don’t have to create and export transparent images individually.
