Remove a background
Separate a subject from its background using selection tools and a layer mask. PhotoBlaze gives you an editable cutout workflow, with edge refinement before you export.

How to remove a background
- Open the photograph and select its photo layer in Layers.
- Select the subject with the available subject, object or manual selection tools. Automatic tools can need a model download on first use.
- Create a layer mask from the selection. Hide any original background layer underneath so you can see transparency.
- Refine the mask with Brush: black hides, white reveals. Inspect hair and narrow gaps at a useful zoom.
- Choose PNG in Export image to keep the transparent background. Save a PSD to retain the editable mask.
Check the edges before you export
Hair, fur, translucent objects and low-contrast edges are difficult cutouts. Automatic selection provides a starting point, not a guarantee of a finished result. Inspect the mask against contrasting backgrounds and repair unwanted holes or leftover edge color.
A mask hides pixels without erasing the underlying photograph. It lets you restore an area later with a white brush. If the old background still appears, check for a visible duplicate underneath. The full editor is best used in a desktop browser; large photos and selection models require available device memory.
Why does my transparent cutout have a white background after export?
JPEG cannot store transparency. Export PNG and make sure no visible background layer is filling the transparent area.
