There are almost as many backgrounds as there are colors, and each is designed for a different purpose. So to choose the right background, you need to understand exactly what you need and for what purpose. When you are shooting, there is usually no time to test different backdrops. That’s why it may turn out during the photo editing process that the previously selected background is not suitable. The most ideal option of course is to use AI-powered Background Removal in Luminar Neo, which will help you do everything quickly and easily. But there are other options.

Light X
This editor offers many editing options, including professional tools. The app is well organized, and the background erasure tool is surprisingly accurate for free.
After creating a transparent background, the app makes it easy to move on to changing the background image. You can also edit videos and change the shape of your subjects. Some key features:
- Changes the background without affecting the foreground. This means that you can easily remove the background within minutes.
- You can do more than just change the background of a photo and use the app as a general photo editor.
- Smooth tools. With most other options, brushes are hard to control.
What’s more, a simple user interface will make any editing workflow more efficient. You can also save your changes so you can easily apply them to other images. These features include adding frames, stickers, and text to your photo.
Adobe Photoshop Express
Of course, one version of Photoshop is on this list. Although there are many other modern alternatives now, it was the original background removal program.
It’s a great mobile app if you need an easy way to change the background. All you have to do is upload an image and select the desired tool in the panel. You can see the mask of the area to be removed and edit it. After that, you can easily create composites and edit them using multiple layers.
Here you have a variety of other edits you can make to the photo. However, it can be difficult for beginners who have never dealt with Photoshop to navigate. So if you only want to remove the background, take a closer look at the other options.
Pixanova
A great background removal app, you can use it on your iPhone and iPad. This is a photo editing app, mainly designed to change or remove the backgrounds of photos. It allows you to accurately remove backgrounds from images. As an option for background removal, it offers several ways to change the background (automatically, semi-automatically, or manually).
It is a multifunctional photo background editing application. It is packed with many powerful features such as layers, blend modes, masking tools, text, selective blurring, motion, zooming, and more. You can install and use it for free, but you need to upgrade to the premium version to unlock all the features.
PhotoDraw
This is a good service with very flexible settings, a lot of features, and high accuracy. What’s important – it works absolutely free and is not overloaded with ads. The result can be downloaded without additional restrictions on the same page where the image is processed. It also has a small disadvantage – some complexity in the work. Let’s look at the pros of using this service:
- It is possible to process photos without registration.
- Rather functional built-in editor.
- There is a detailed user guide.
- You can save the result without loss of quality.
To remove the background online, you need to upload a photo and outline the boundaries of the desired area with a yellow pen. Then you will have to make green strokes for the places that should remain, and red – for those that should be removed. The service is not suitable for quick background cleanup, but it is good in cases where precise processing is important.
Apowersoft
One of the best applications on this list. It uses AI technology to make your edits more accurate. Instead of manually selecting an object in an image, artificial intelligence determines the object based on what you select. Currently, you can select a person, a product, or a logo.
This simple app not only provides seamless background removal. It also provides other great editing features, such as a sharpening tool. The most useful feature of this app is the batch editing feature. The application allows you to remove the background for multiple photos at the same time, which is very convenient.
Luminar Neo
It is not completely free, if you want to use it for more than 7 days you will need to buy a subscription or a lifetime license. However, Luminar Neo is definitely worth it. It’s a great option if you need to periodically change the backgrounds in your photos and do some editing using professional tools. It’s all based on advanced AI technology, so you get great results in just a couple of clicks.
With an optional extension, you can automatically remove the background behind one or more objects in your photo. Many users purchase Luminar Neo after the trial period and use it as their primary photo editor on a permanent basis. With a simple and intuitive interface even a beginner will understand. Be sure to try Luminar Neo with all additional extensions!
