How Do I Remove the Background in Google Photos?

Published in Image Editing 2 mins read

You can remove the background of a photo in Google Photos using the "Magic Eraser" tool. This tool automatically detects the subject of the photo and removes the background around it.

Here's how to use it:

  1. Open the Google Photos app on your phone or computer.
  2. Select the photo you want to edit.
  3. Tap the "Edit" button at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Select the "Magic Eraser" tool from the editing options.
  5. Tap the areas you want to remove or use the slider to adjust the tool's sensitivity.
  6. Tap "Done" to save your edited photo.

If you're using a computer, the steps may vary slightly. However, you should be able to find the "Magic Eraser" tool within the editing options.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • The "Magic Eraser" tool works best with photos that have a clear subject and a simple background.
  • The tool may not be able to perfectly remove all backgrounds, especially if the subject is complex or the background is cluttered.
  • You can always manually edit the background using other tools in Google Photos, such as the "Crop" tool or the "Brush" tool.
