3. Choose How to Download Your Image

After a couple of seconds, you'll have an image without a background and two download options: 

  1. The Low Resolution option will give you a PNG file with a transparent background that you can use for any purpose you wish.
  2. The High Resolution option will open a new editor within Placeit where you can modify your new image.
