How to use it
- Open Photo editor → Remove background and choose a photo with a person.
- Wait a moment while the person is detected on your device.
- Use Erase or Restore to fix any edges; choose transparent, white or a colour.
- Save as PNG (transparent) or JPG (with background).
Good to know
- Works best on photos of people; objects and pets may need more brush work.
- Very busy backgrounds or matching colours can need small corrections.
- Photo and PDF edits run on your device. Only the PDF password and signing tools send the file to the server, where it is processed and deleted straight away.
Privacy and saving
Photo and document edits are processed on your device. Account information is stored on the server. Adding or removing PDF passwords and signing PDFs use temporary server processing, and files are deleted immediately. Print-shop orders use temporary encrypted storage. Read the Privacy Notice before sharing sensitive files.
