How Do I Remove the Background From an Image in Photoshop for Free?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:45 pm

There are a few different ways to remove the background from an image in Photoshop, but the best way to do it for free is to use the “Layer Mask” tool.

PRO TIP: When trying to remove the background from an image in Photoshop for free, it is important to be aware that there are many websites that claim to offer this service but may instead install viruses or malware onto your computer. It is therefore important to only download Photoshop from a trusted source, and to be careful when clicking on links or opening files from unknown sources.

First, open your image in Photoshop. Then, click on the “Layer Mask” icon in the “Layers” palette.

Next, use a black brush to paint over the areas of the image that you want to remove. The black color will hide those areas from view.

Finally, click on the “Apply” button in the “Layer Mask” tool options bar. Your background should now be removed!
