PicWish

It's not exactly a rare occurrence to wish you'd taken a photo from a different angle: the subject is all fine and good, but what about the background? Wishing that you could just erase the background from some of your photos is a thought that is perhaps uncommon, but thankfully, technological and software advancements have made it increasingly easier to get your photos to look more to your liking.

For those looking to remove the background from that one photo, PicWish might just be the solution: the software can automatically remove backgrounds from images within a few seconds, as well as upscale them to enhance their clarity.

While Photoshop requires a bit more work to set up and remove your background — most of which is manual — this software aims to make the process much easier for the casual user. Of course, the precision and versatility of Photoshop are feats that are amiss here, but there's no need for all of that when you just want to quickly remove a photo's background.

You can start off by uploading an image, and the app will take care of the rest. The background is automatically removed, without requiring so much as an input from you. From there, you can export it right away, and that's all. But if you wish to make some additional adjustments, you're free to do so.

The option to manually remove the background is there, and you can also elect to upscale your photos, which works to increase their sharpness, making them look more polished.

Users can also choose to remove watermarks from their image. All you have to do is paint over where the watermark is, and the program will take care of it. As for how the spot looks after the removal, it's alright.

You can also remove backgrounds in bulk, as well as upscale multiple photos at once. All you have to do is insert the respective stills, and that's it.

PicWish is a simple piece of software, but for a casual user, it'll do just fine with its background removing and photo upscaling capabilities.
