A simple background editing app that automatically detects people and objects, making it easy to remove and customize photo backgrounds. Simply choose an image from your Photo Library, Files, or Camera, and the app will automatically make the background transparent. In addition to removing the background, you can replace it with a color or another image, or apply effects such as blur and mosaic. Whether you want to cut out a person, remove the background from a product photo, change the background to white or another color, or blur only the background, simply select an image and start editing.
