Some things you can do by removing image backgrounds
Generate professional product images
Instead of an elaborate photography setup, take a photo with your phone or any digital camera, use Microsoft Designer to remove the background, then replace it with a solid color for a clean, gorgeous image that showcases your product.
Isolate logos and design elements
Removing the background helps you isolate and reuse logos or other design elements from a previous design, photo, or image scan, so it's easier to create pro-looking marketing materials, business cards, and more.
Create fun things with your photos
Use background remover to create a profile picture that highlights you, make cute collages of friends, or create images of your pets that you can layer into any design you like.
