Remove.bg is a Website That Removes Backgrounds from Portraits in Seconds (petapixel.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: If you often find yourself needing to remove the backgrounds from photos but don't have the time to manually do it, you might want to bookmark Remove.bg. It's a simple free website that automatically removes the backgrounds from photos in just 5 seconds with a single click.

Simply use the button on the homepage to select a photo from your computer (or you can also enter a photo's URL on the Web). The website then processes the photo and shows the result in moments. Under the result is a button that lets you download it as a PNG image with a transparent background.

I tried it, and it's not perfect at distinguishing foreground from background, so the picture of myself I gave it came back with a huge black lump on the side of my faces that should have been part of the background. Of course, I could clean up that minor imperfection in photoshop.
