Remove Background From An Image
To start, browse to Clipping Magic and choose an image file that you want to work on. Depending on the image size, you may need to wait a few minutes.
You will now see two copies of your image: one is the ‘Original+Mask’ image and another is the ‘Result Preview’ image.
On the ‘Original+Mask’ image, there’s a green brush. The green brush is used to highlight the part of the image that you want to keep. For this guide, the part that we want to keep is the gun-wielding hero and the Android it is protecting.
Press Spacebar to change the brush to red and use this to highlight the area you want removed. You can instantly see on ‘Result Preview’ the outcome.
Made a mistake? Press Ctrl + Z to undo or you can press X to turn it to a blue brush then use it to highlight the mistake that you made. Press Ctrl + Y to redo what has been undone.
When you’re done, you can download the image by clicking on Download on the top bar.
Apart from downloading the result, you can also share the result with friends.
Limitation
Clipping Magic might come out as an intelligent web tool, but there’s one major problem: it doesn’t have brush size control. The default brush size is rather large and you might have problems which involve highlighting areas you don’t want highlighted. To compensate, try zooming in first before higlighting with the brush. The brush is relatively smaller in this zoomed mode.
