New Paint Update for Windows 11 Adds One-Click Background Removal

  • Microsoft is adding a "Remove Background" button to Paint in Windows 11 that can automatically remove the background from any picture.

  • The feature does an excellent job of isolating the main subject and removing the entire background, regardless of complexity.

  • It allows users to quickly remove backgrounds without needing more advanced photo editing applications.

  • An earlier accidental Paint update included a confidentiality banner, which is fixed in the latest update.

  • The background removal feature is rolling out in Paint version 11.2306.30.0 and later to Windows 11 Insider builds.
