Can Figma Remove Background From Image?

Last updated on April 19, 2023 @ 8:05 am

PRO TIP: If you are using the Figma app to remove the background from an image, be aware that there is a possibility that the app may not be able to completely remove the background. There may be some residual background remaining after using the app.

Most people think that removing the background from an image is a difficult and time-consuming process, but with Figma, it’s actually quite simple!

Just open up your image in the software and make sure to select it first before proceeding with the background removal.

From there, choose a Background Remover Tool from the various plugins available in Figma. In this tutorial, we will be using the “Unbackground” plugin to remove the image’s background.

Just wait for the process to finish. It may take some time depending on the image’s details and resolution.

Figma will automatically detect the background and remove it for you.

Of course, not all backgrounds are equally easy to remove. Sometimes Figma will struggle to accurately detect the background, especially if there are multiple colors or patterns involved.

In these cases, you may need to do some manual editing to get the perfect result. But even then, Figma’s Background Remover tools can save you a lot of time and effort compared to traditional methods like Photoshop.

So if you need to remove the background from an image, give Figma a try. It just might surprise you with how easy it is!
