Microsoft has just announced a new update for the Microsoft Paint application, which comes with a very notable and long-awaited feature: Remove background from images with just the click of a button.
The new update is currently being tested for users in the Windows Insiders program. With the new update, Microsoft will give Paint users the option to remove backgrounds from photos extremely quickly, allowing to create perfect photos with ease. Furthermore, this feature will also allow users to remove the background from the entire canvas or in certain optional areas.
This feature is very easy to use, requiring users to import the canvas into Paint or simply open an existing image with Paint. On the application interface, you will see an option called Remove Background located on the toolbar. Clicking this button will immediately remove the background from the image. Additionally, you can select an area in a photo and have Microsoft Paint erase the background of the selected area.
As mentioned, this feature is currently being tested for internal users under the Windows Insiders program. To experience it early, you need to make sure you have Microsoft Paint version 11.2306.30.0 or higher installed.
