Pixelmator Remove Background
Quickly remove backgrounds from the Finder
In November, Pixelmator Pro added a AI-powered background removal tool. This is a very powerful feature that makes it easy to remove background from any image.
Pixelmator Pro was certain that you'll be using this feature all the time, that they built in a Finder Quick Action so you can remove a background from any image without having to open up the application.
Three Reasons Why This is Great!
You can quickly remove the background of any image. Pixelmator Pro creates a new image so the original image isn't impacted. There's no harm to use this to any image that you have.
This works anyplace in the finder. So you can be looking at an image on a flash drive and apply this tool.
The whole process takes place in the background. Pixelmator won't open up and disrupt your desktop view or flow.
Not Enabled by Default
Here's the steps to enable this.
- Open up System Preferences. Apple Menu -> System Preferences
- Search or Click Extensions. (Tip: The icon is a puzzle piece.)
- Click Finder on the Left navigation.
- Click check box next to "Remove Background,"
If you don't see "Remove Background" you will need to update Pixelmator Pro to the latest version.
