Guide: How to remove Background in Pixlr software
There are many reasons why someone might want to remove the background from a photo. For fun, someone might want to change the look of a photo without affecting the content. For a professional design job, someone might want to remove the background so that they can focus on the content of the photo. There are also many reasons why someone might want to remove the background from a photo for security purposes. ..
If you’re someone who takes a lot of photos and wants to make them look their best, you might think you need to invest in expensive photo editing software. But that’s not always necessary. All you need to do is visit the online Pixlr editor. It’s free to use, and it can do a great job of editing your photos. So let’s start by removing the background. ..
Wave that wand (or throw that lasso)
To use the magic wand, you need to click on it.
To start the magic touch tool, you need to set the tolerance in the menu bar above. This setting allows you to change how detailed your “magic touch” will be. So the more detail in the background, the greater the tolerance. For a simple object with sharp edges in front of the white background, the tolerance of three is sufficient. The image below is a bit more complicated, so we went for 25.
After you use the Magic Wand tool, some smaller parts may remain unselected. To add them to the selection, hold down Shift and click on them with the Magic Wand Tool. ..
If you have a high-resolution image, the magic of the Lasso tool may not work as well. In that case, it is better to use the Lasso tool and make the selection by hand. If you have a very steady hand, you can use the Freehand Lasso, but we recommend using the Polygonal Lasso option to make the selection gradually. ..
Reverse the magic
Now that you’ve made the selection with the Magic Wand Tool (or the Lasso Tool), it’s time to invert it. The reason for this is that we don’t want the background, but the object in front of it. It is much easier to select a solid blue colored field with the Magic Wand tool. That’s because we can quickly shift the selection to the lady. ..
To Invert Selection, click on the ‘Invert Selection’ button on the toolbar.
Transport to the transparent realm
To remove the background from your photo, navigate to the menu bar and choose “Edit.” Next, click on “Copy.” This will copy the selected area. Then, we’ll want to erase the background from our photo. To do this, navigate to the menu bar and choose “Paste.” This will paste the copied area onto a blank canvas. ..
New Image
You can choose the name of your new background-free image in the dialog box that appears up. The preset bellows should be there automatically. The width and height should be there too, based on the original.
-Check the box to create an edited image based on the clipboard image -Check the box to create a transparent image
After you click the “OK” button, the new image will have a “checkered” background, which means it has no background. Choose the “Edit” section again, but now click on “Paste.” That will transport the image of our lady to our new canvas, with no background. ..
The manual labor
The magic part of this project is that the edges need to be cleaned up. That’s manual work, so it’s time to choose the Eraser tool in the toolbar.
After clicking on the Eraser tool, you need to click on the Brush tool in the bar above. That way you can choose the size of the brush. You may need to switch formats from time to time depending on the project. If you reach a smaller area, you should also choose a smaller brush.
To clean up the edges of a document, use these shortcuts:
- Use the cursor to erase the unwanted parts of the document.
- Use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor around.
- Use CTRL + Z to undo your last move.
- Zoom in and out to see what is happening on the screen.
Retention
To save your new image, choose “File” from the menu bar and then click “Save As.” You can save your effort as a JPEG file. JPEGs are the most user-friendly file format, but at the same time the least professional. ..
JPEG files always have a background. This can be white, but it is still a background. On the other hand, PNG files can have transparent backgrounds. So if your goal is to keep the image as it is, save it as a PNG file. ..
Magic start, precise finish
Pixlr’s online editor tools are great for creating magic, but you’ll need to wrap it up manually. Nevertheless, this last step isn’t complicated – it just requires precision and a little patience. ..
There’s another magical shortcut that I’ve found that I think may be helpful for you. If you know of another magical shortcut, please share it in the comments below!
