Detect backgrounds and subjects with a little help from artificial intelligence. Adobe Sensei-powered tools automatically remove backgrounds in the Layers panel. Adjustable sliders let you control elements like contrast, edge smoothness, and obscurity.
Showcase your style and boost brand identity by using transparent backgrounds. You can pop your newly isolated subjects, branding, logos, and more onto website headers, email signatures, ads, and more with ease.
Use mask layers to hide and reveal selected portions of your background — nondestructively. (That means without deleting any pixels, so you get as many do-overs as you need.) Expand your selection area (the portion of an image defined for editing) or remove unwanted background in order to further refine the image.
Tap into global refinement sliders to smooth and feather the edges of your image. This improves image contrast and sharpness to ensure that the details of your subject aren’t lost as you make the background transparent.
If your image is especially busy or complicated, add extra editing control with precision tools designed to be as exacting as your selection demands.
Quickly "paint" a selection with a fully customizable round brush tip. As you drag, the selection expands and automatically locates defined edges for easier editing.
Make a solid color background transparent with one click of this wand. Just click on any part of an image and all other pixels of the same color in the image will be selected. Then you can either mask or hide those areas.
Use your mouse or stylus to make selection borders with a freehand drawing. No need to worry about accuracy — you can easily add and subtract from the selections to clean up problem areas.
Use Refine Edge to fine-tune rough or smooth edges of selections you made with the various selection tools. For detailed photos with complex edges, the Refine Brush Edge allows you to brush over certain areas to tell Photoshop where to improve the edge.
Follow this step-by-step guide to isolate your subjects as you create a transparent background in Photoshop. Or make your background disappear entirely with AI-powered tools like Remove Background.

It’s easier than you think to combine multiple photos to make dazzling new images.
With a Photoshop transparent background, you can quickly give new life to your images.
Yes, you can use a script in Photoshop to make backgrounds transparent in bulk. Photoshop uses a scripting language called JavaScript that can automate many repetitive tasks and perform batch processing on multiple images.
You can create a script that takes a set of images and applies specific actions, including making backgrounds transparent, to all of them. To run this script, use the File > Scripts > Browse… menu in Photoshop and select the script file. This way you can save time and effort in making multiple backgrounds transparent without manually performing the task on each image.
