PhotoRoom

PhotoRoom's Assisted Cutout feature helps you to remove or restore parts of an image more easily. You can use it on new images or on existing designs.

The following sections describe the process for Android devices, but the steps are similar for iPhone and iPad.

When you add an image, PhotoRoom automatically removes the background. Use Assisted Cutout to edit it further.
