How to Remove Background from Picture without Photoshop
Hey everyone in today's video. I want to show you how to remove the background of any picture and dropping your own background. It could be a solid color background, or you could put and the different environment behind someone and I want to show you two different ways. The first one I'm just going to spend 30 seconds on is using Photoshop is the way that I've always done it, but I know people don't want to learn Photoshop.
So this process may not be for you. So I want to give you two options. The second one just came out or I just discovered it and it's very, very simple using a website that basically does it for you. It's not going to give you much control, but if you don't want to learn, Photoshop is the easiest way to remove background for free.
So I'll show you both of these options quickly in this video. Okay, so here's the normal way. I always removed the background. I used Photoshop to open the image in Photoshop and especially with Photoshop 2020 or later, you have this option called object selection tool just selected that and just drew a rectangle around my subject, and then you see these marching Gans around that subject. That means that the section is selected. So now if I right-click over here, I could click a layer via copy and just like that, it's made the cut for me and if I go over here, I have two different layers and I turn one-off. There you go. I just removed the background using Photoshop, and this gives you an incredible amount of control, which I haven't shown you yet by select the mask gives you this whole menu of really refining that selection and I have a totally different video on how to do this with Photoshop, but I really wanted to make this video to show you this new option. That's really simple for everyday people. So let me go to Google Chrome here, and I'll put a link in the description for this one. It's called remove. bg and all you have to do on this website are upload your image and it's uploading the image here and in just a few seconds, look at that you just removed the background for me. I didn't do anything. So if you don't know Photoshop, or if you don't want to learn Photoshop and you just want to remove background for something. This is the way to go and check this out. If I press edit now, I could actually put whatever I want in the background using this upload option, or I could just go to the color tab and I could change it to one of these color backgrounds like this gray one, for example.
So from a beach picture here that wasn't quite professional. To a nice looking headshot for LinkedIn, for example, just like that using this platform and I could go ahead and press download here and download that image right into my computer. It also has all these different built-in backgrounds that you could go ahead and try out here or upload your own and it's dead easy to remove backgrounds on Mac or PC. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you found one of these options useful. Again, watch the other videos. If you want to learn more about Photoshop, I'll put those in the description box below this video, and I hope to catch you on the next video.
Thanks so much again, and I'll see you next time.
