Maybe you want to create a professional YouTube thumbnail or clean product shots—either way, you’ll usually need to remove the photo background. In this tutorial, I show you the fastest way to remove the background from literally any photo using CapCut, and it works the same on both iPhone and Android. The first thing I recommend is updating CapCut, because if you’re not on the latest version, you might not see the tool I’m using. Once you’re in CapCut, I walk you through the “Remove background” tool. You just pick a photo from your gallery, and CapCut automatically creates a clean cutout for you. If the automatic cut isn’t perfect, CapCut also gives you brush-style tools so you can manually fix areas where you don’t want something removed. And if you don’t see the background remover tool at all, I share a simple backup method: open your browser and go to remove.bg. Upload your image, wait a moment, and the site removes the background for you. Follow my steps and you’ll have a ready-to-use cutout for thumbnails, products, or any edit you’re working on.
