Microsoft has already added Copilot to Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and other services to make the lives of its users more productive with the help of Artificial Intelligence. This time, they have added AI to the popular MS Paint. With the help of AI, we can now remove image backgrounds using the Paint app in Windows 11.
Remove Image Background using Paint app in Windows 11
If you want to remove an image background using the Paint app in Windows 11, you must update Paint to the latest version. MS Paint can now detect objects and remove their background in a single click, avoiding the use of third-party Image Background Removal software or online services. However, as of now, this Paint is only available on Windows Insider Program’s Canary or Dev Channel but will soon be rolled out to all.
Do keep in mind that just installing Canary or Dev Channel will not do the trick for you. You have to install the latest version of Paint from Microsoft Store. Open the Microsoft Store, search for “Paint” and install its latest version.
Once you have the latest version of Paint, follow the steps below to remove the background using the MS Paint application.
- Launch MS Paint.
- Now, go to File and then click on Open.
- You then have to look for the image, select it, and click on Open.
- Then click on Remove background from the Image section.
- Now, click on Eraser to complete the processor.
- Finally, go to File > Save as > select a format, go to the location where you want to save the image, give it a name, and click on Save.
Since AI is used, it can be a little off sometimes. Hence, you might have to undo and redo a few times to get things right.
Hopefully, you can remove background images using MS Paint for free.
