5 Photo Apps to Remove the Background from Your Pictures

1. Adobe Express

Editing is certainly a key step in achieving flawless photos, and Adobe is a true master of the craft. Its Adobe Express app undoubtedly comes with a wide range of features, and the ability to remove a background in just a couple of taps is one of the most impressive.

The app’s artificial intelligence does all the work for you — your only job is to enjoy the result.

2. YouCam Perfect: Photo Editor

Still on the subject of AI, it would be impossible not to mention YouCam Perfect, an app with thousands of downloads and countless positive reviews. Once again, this is a powerful tool that uses artificial intelligence to help you edit a photo in all sorts of ways, from animations and collages to impressive advanced effects. As for background removal, it really is as easy as pie.

3. Canva

Could we possibly leave out Canva, the digital content platform famous for how easy it is to use? Let’s be honest: we would never recommend Canva just for removing backgrounds from images, because the platform offers so much more than that. That said, the background removal feature is only available with a PRO subscription — which costs around one hundred euros per year. Still, if Canva is already part of your digital routine, there is no need to install anything else: you already have everything you need… and much more.

4. PhotoRoom

Retouching tools, ready-made templates and professional-level customisation worthy of Photoshop: when we talk about PhotoRoom, we are talking about one of the giants of smartphone photo-editing apps. The great advantage of apps like this is that they turn the phone in your pocket into the only tool you really need to create great images. You take the shot, and PhotoRoom takes care of the advanced editing with its hundreds of features, including the ability to remove an unwanted background in the blink of an eye. Easy, fast and smart.

5. Lightleap by Lightricks

More than a simple background-removal tool, this app is a real burst of creativity. Would you like to change the sky in just one tap and replace that dull grey with a glowing sunset or a star-filled sky? It only takes a few seconds for Lightleap’s smart engine to work its magic.

Here is a tip from someone who works with photos every day: do not overdo the effects. Some filters are undeniably cool, but they can also look quite unrealistic, and you may get tired of the result after just a few days. When it comes to editing, less is often more. Now that you have removed the background, do you like the image better? Have fun using it in our personalized sticker albums: background or not, enjoy unwrapping your memories.
