How PhotoJam removes a photo background
PhotoJam has a one-click "Remove background (AI)" tool: select an image layer and it automatically detects and cuts out the subject, right in your browser, no manual masking required for most photos.
For trickier shots (fine hair, transparent objects, low contrast against the background), combine the AI result with layers, the brush, shapes and the crop tool to clean up the edges by hand, all without losing the undo/redo history.
Once you are done, export the final image as PNG to keep the transparent background, or as JPEG or WEBP if you are placing it over a new one.
