Microsoft Paint is a popular image editing tool that comes pre-installed with Windows operating systems. Recently, Microsoft has added a new feature to the Paint app in the recent Windows Insider Canary/Dev builds: Background Removal. This feature allows users to easily remove the entire background of an image, leaving just the main subject untouched.

To use this feature, you need to download and install MS Paint’s latest version from the Microsoft Store. Once you have opened Paint and pasted or imported any image onto the app’s canvas, click the “remove background” button in the toolbar. This will automatically remove the background on your entire image.
If you are looking for a more precise way to remove the background, you can use the Magic Select tool. This tool allows you to manually select the portion of the background that you want to remove. Once you have made your selection, click on “Crop” to remove the selected area.
Here is an example of how to use this feature:
