You won't need to do any further action like selecting your subject—the AI tool will do it for you and instantly remove the background.



3. Choose How to Download Your Image
After a couple of seconds, you'll have an image without a background and two download options:
- The Low Resolution option will give you a PNG file with a transparent background that you can use for any purpose you wish.
- The High Resolution option will open a new editor within Placeit where you can modify your new image.

4. Customize Your New Image Without a Background
If you choose the High Resolution route, you can continue editing your image within your browser. You can easily change the background color, and if you click the + Add button, you can also add text, more graphics, and even a new background image.
