A simple tool for background removal that makes your pictures look free from imperfections does exist. Background Studio is designed to help you delete the background that ruins your image. Use the app in different ways. You can make a transparent background, remove the existing one and add something else, or even erase the background to boost your sales with seamlessly looking product images. Whichever goal you have, Background Studio has everything you need to transform your picture. Here is a short overview of all tools you get from downloading the app: • Cutout tool. This is the very essence of the app. We made sure the entire background removal mechanism works in a convenient and fast way. Just select the unneeded area that you want to erase and make it transparent in one simple click. • White and solid background. Minimalism is truly timeless. You can delete the existing background and add white background or the one with any solid color instead. • Background templates. In case you need not only to remove the background but also to change it into something better, we prepared the background gallery with various templates so that you can pick the one that fits your picture most. • Shadows & Outlines. Apart from the background cut-out, you can also add shadows to the necessary object or outline it. Adjust shadow intensity, the thickness of the outline, and the degree of the object opacity easily. Highlight important aspects to help the image look outstanding. • Stickers & Fonts. Looking for something less boring than just a minimalistic background? We added stickers and a variety of fonts to choose from so you can adorn your image and make it stand out. Simple yet efficient — this is the best way to describe Background Studio. Besides, the app is perfect not only for social media lovers but for retailers as well.
