Automating background removal in Photoshop can save you a considerable amount of time, especially when working with a large number of images. While Photoshop does not have a one-click solution for background removal, you can use certain tools and features to automate the process to some extent. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Method 1: Using Photoshop Actions
- Open Photoshop: Launch Adobe Photoshop and open the image from which you want to remove the background.
- Open the Actions Panel:
- Go to “Window” in the top menu.
- Select “Actions” to open the Actions panel.
- Create a New Action:
- Click on the “Create new action” icon at the bottom of the Actions panel.
- Give your action a name and assign it to a set if needed.
- Click “Record” to start recording your actions.
- Perform Background Removal:
- Use your preferred selection tool (e.g., Magic Wand, Quick Selection Tool, or Pen Tool) to make a selection around the subject.
- Once selected, press the “Delete” key to remove the background.
- Stop Recording:
- Click on the square “Stop” button in the Actions panel to stop recording.
- Batch Processing:
- To apply this action to multiple images, go to “File” > “Automate” > “Batch.”
- Choose the action you just created.

- Click “OK” to run the batch process.
Method 2: Using Scripts
