Photo Background Remover

Pictures are widely employed today, whether for personal needs, such as storing holiday memories, or in professional environments, like in the graphics industry. Depending on the environment in which one uses images, multiple auxiliary digital tools have been created and Photo Background Remover is just one such editor.

As the name implies, with it one can remove the backgrounds of images in virtually any common format. The program can load JPGs, BMPs, PNGs, and GIFs, although the complexity of the job (and the corresponding results) largely depends on the actual photo elements, rather than on the format used to store them. In this respect, the program works best with simple tasks and more advanced operations should be carried out in more complex tools.

There are numerous applications that claim to perform exactly the same tasks, and an objective analysis reveals the following: as a strong point, one can mention the dual method of loading documents - users can either load individual files or entire folders. File-type masks are hardcoded into the program, so one can, in fact, target folders with multiple documents, not just multimedia ones. As an alternative to manually browsing for items, one can just as easily drag and drop files on the tool.

This setup allows users to burn through all their libraries quickly and intuitive on-screen arrow buttons are employed to navigate swiftly between all the loaded pictures. The other notable feature is the ability to remove picture backgrounds manually or automatically. For the latter purpose, a “Batch Mode” function is available, which requires only that users enter a valid destination path.

If opting for the manual method, two highlighters are used to designate the elements that are to be removed and the ones to be kept. By default, the application replaces the erased elements with a transparent background, but this can be adjusted. As an auxiliary tool, text or logo watermarks can be placed.

In conclusion, Photo Background Remover is a simple, but practical tool for anyone in possession of large multimedia libraries. It allows removal of selected background elements while retaining certain foreground objects. As a minus, users should tread carefully in 'manual edit' mode, as some tasks can cause the program to crash.
