How to remove an image background
You may want to remove the background from an image to isolate a key subject (such as a person, object, or logo). This allows for cleaner designs by eliminating unwanted backgrounds, making the image blend seamlessly into the cover.
To remove an image’s background:
- Click theicon on any image in theImages tab.
- Select Remove Background on the Image Background Removal menu.
- Coverjig will process the image and add the new background-free version to your gallery.
- Click Add To Cover or select the image from your gallery to place it on your design.
- Drag the new image into the desired position and adjust the size.
You have 10 background removal credits per month, which reset automatically each month.
