<p>Microsoft just announced an exciting update for the Paint app, which they&#8217;re testing with Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. This new update is labeled as version 11.2306.30.0 and brings a cool new feature: background removal.</p>

<p>As the name says, this feature allows you to easily remove the background from any image with just a single click. Microsoft Paint&#8217;s latest version can identify the main subject in the picture and remove everything else in the background. You can also use a selection tool to manually choose what to keep and what to remove.</p>

<p>To take advantage of this new Background Removal feature in Paint, follow these steps:</p>
<p>1. Make sure you have the latest Paint app installed (version 11.2306.30.0 or newer) on your Windows 11 device.</p>
<p>2. Paste an image into the Paint app or open an existing one.</p>
<p>3. Look in the toolbar, and you&#8217;ll spot a new button for removing the background. Simply click this button to erase the background from your entire image.</p>
<p>4. If the result isn&#8217;t exactly what you want, you can use the rectangle select tool to specify an area from which you want to remove the background.</p>
