How To Remove an Image Background on Windows 11.

Removing the background from an image or replacing it with a different color can be essential for various purposes, such as creating professional-looking graphics or collages. While there are specialized tools for this task, you can achieve basic background removal on Windows 11 using built-in tools like Paint 3D or Photos app.

Remove The Background of an Image.

You can use Windows built-in Paint application to delete or remove the entire background of an image and make it transparent. Here is a step-by-step guide to do that:

Step 1: First move to where you kept your image in File Explorer. Right-click on the image file you want to edit and select 'Open with' > 'Paint 3D.'

Step 2: After opening the image in Paint, in the 'Image' section at the top, select the 'Remove Background' option.

Step 3: Wait for some time and you will see your edited image with a transparent background.

Step 4: To save your image changes, click on File > Save As from the left Menu. Save your image as PNG to maintain the transparency as JPG does not support this format of the image.

Paint 3D allows you to undo and redo your actions. If you're not satisfied, use these options to go back and make adjustments.

If you do not want to remove the background of the entire image but only a selected part of the image then you can use the 'Selection' tool on the left top to select the specific portion of the image and then apply the 'Remove Background' option.
