The ability to remove an image’s background is a common and often essential feature in modern presentation tools. Understanding the needs, we have also integrated a powerful AI background removal tool into ActivePresenter version 10 – the comprehensive and powerful eLearning authoring tool with AI assistance.
Our software is designed to help you create professional, engaging, and interactive content with ease. The newly-integrated AI features in version 10, including background removal, are built to save you time. Thus, you can quickly and easily isolate your subject, making it simple to place it on any background you choose. Let’s deep dive into how to do it in this tutorial.
Steps to Remove Image Background in ActivePresenter 10
Hint: Make sure you have owned a paid license of ActivePresenter first and had enough AI credits in your account. It costs 5 AI credits per time you remove an image background.
Step 1: Get Your Image Ready
First, make sure the image you want to edit is on your slide. ActivePresenter’s background removal tool is designed to work quickly and effectively on a variety of images. However, for the best results, an image where the subject stands out from the background is ideal. High-contrast images with sharp edges are perfect.
Step 2: Choose Your AI Provider (Optional)
ActivePresenter 10 offers the flexibility to use a custom background remover service. This is useful if you have a preferred third-party tool you’d like to integrate.
- Go to the AI tab at the top of the interface.
- Click on Service Providers to select a Background Remover provider.
- A window will pop up where you can manage your providers.
- Click
to Add Custom Background Remover. Then, select Other Background Remover, the Add Custom Background Remover dialog appears, allowing you to change the custom background remover’s Name, Edit Script/Hide Script. Click OK to save all the changes. Click Cancel to cancel the settings and close the dialog. - Click
to Edit Custom Background Remover. Then, the Edit Custom Background Remover dialog appears, allowing you to change the custom background remover’s Name, Edit Script/Hide Script. Click OK to save all the changes. Click Cancel to cancel the settings and close the dialog. - Click
to Remove Custom Background Remover.
Tip: In case you do not need to add a custom provider and just want to use the default provider that ActivePresenter offers, you can skip this step.
Step 3: Instantly Remove the Background
This is the fastest part of the process!
- Click at the image you want to edit.
- Next, navigate to the Media Tools tab in the main ribbon.
- Find the Remove Background
button and click it. The image background will be removed quickly.
ActivePresenter’s AI will automatically detect the subject and remove the background, leaving you with a clean, transparent image. You can now place this image on top of other images, shapes, or a new slide background.
Tips for Getting the Best Background Removal Results
While ActivePresenter’s tool is fantastic, a few general tips can help you achieve professional-quality cutouts every time, regardless of the software you use.
- Go for High Contrast: The more a subject contrasts with its background, the easier it is for a tool to distinguish the two. For example, a person in a white shirt standing against a black wall will be easier to cut out than a person in a green shirt standing in a grassy field.
- Use Images with Simple Backgrounds: If you have the choice, select an image with a solid-colored or minimalist background. A complex background with lots of patterns or similar colors to your subject can confuse the tool, leading to less-than-perfect edges.
- Think About Your Subject’s Hair and Edges: Fine details like wisps of hair, fur, or the intricate edges of a plant can be tricky. After the automatic removal, you may need to use a refine tool to manually touch up these areas to get a perfectly smooth and natural-looking result.
- Final Check: Always zoom in to inspect the edges of your cutout. Look for any stray pixels or parts of the background that were missed. A quick touch-up can make a significant difference.
By keeping these tips in mind and utilizing ActivePresenter’s easy-to-use tool, you’ll be able to create stunning visuals for your projects in no time! Download ActivePresenter to test other free features and purchase it to unlock superb AI tools!
