Learn how to remove the background from your images or photos and add a new background to them in Adobe Firefly.
The Remove background tool isolates the subject by removing the background, allowing you to place it against a newly designed background, a colored backdrop, or an entirely different scene.
In the Edit tab, select Upload or Adobe cloud storage to open a photo from your computer or Creative Cloud storage. You can also use an already edited image or a previously generated image.
Tip
For better results, upload a photo or image in JPEG, PNG, and WEBP formats up to 50 MB.
Select Remove background from the left side bar to remove the background portion from the image.
After completing your image edits, select Download to save the image to your device. Alternatively, select Share to copy the image or open it in Photoshop on the web or Adobe Express.
Note
If you download the image immediately after removing its background, it's saved as a transparent PNG file.
