Remove background from images

Ultima actualizare la 7 mai 2026

Learn how to use the Remove Background feature in Adobe Illustrator to get images with a transparent background.

Remove Background identifies the outline of subjects in an image and replaces the rest of the image with transparency.

Remove the background from your image to use the subject in other applications, such as packaging and brand graphics.

Use the Selection   tool to select the image on the canvas.

In the Contextual Task Bar, select Remove Background   . You get an image with subjects and a transparent background as the output, replacing the original.

You can also access Remove Background from the Quick Actions section of the Properties panel, the Control panel, the right-click menu, and the Object menu.
