What is Background removal?
Background removal is the process of isolating the main subject of a photo — usually a person or object — and making the rest of the image transparent or replacing it with a different background. In mobile apps, AI-powered background removal automatically detects edges and removes the background in a single tap. Transparency: Magic Eraser uses on-device AI to remove backgrounds and export clean PNG cutouts for use in design, social media, or compositing.
