Introduction

PixelLab application is a mobile application that is used for simple photo editing, adjusting photo and text combinations, and layouts for posters or banners. PixelLab itself according to the information I read is only available on Android-based smartphones developed by Imagin Studio. PixelLab can be downloaded for free on the Google Play Store.

Like other graphic design applications, some of the functions of the PixelLab application are:

• Text : 3D Text, Text effects, Text color, Text font.
• Stickers : add and customize as many stickers, emojis, shapes, as you want.
• Import images : Add your images from the gallery (import from Gallery).
• Export Image: This feature serves to save or share images with the resolution that suits us. For easy access, you can use the Quick Share button to share images for social media applications.
• Draw : Tool for free drawing and can be adjusted to the shape, color, and thickness of the pen as desired.
• Change Background : replace the background screen with a basic color or image as desired.
• Save as a Project : Save the edited image file in formats such as JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, etc.
• Remove background : Removes the background from an image and makes the background of the image transparent.

In addition to the above features, PixelLab also has features such as Create memes, Edit image perspectives, and add effects to images.

1). What site is used to remove backgrounds from images ?

---

Removing the back screen on a photo or image is sometimes an important thing to do when editing, removing the back screen to replace it with another object is sometimes not easy for beginners. On computers or smartphones, there are many software/applications for editing photos, but beginners will have a hard time removing the background. Even if there is a software/application to remove the photo background, how to do it is quite complicated and takes a lot of time. Usually, designers use Photoshop, but this method is quite confusing, especially for beginners. We have to cut the part of the photo that will be replaced with the background first and then separate it.

^{removal.ai and remove.bg} With the development of technology in the field of design applications, beginners or professionals can remove the background screen from their images by using an application or software that provides this feature, in this post I will share 1 application or website to remove the background screen in an image easily without requires special skills in the field of graphic design, namely:

• Remove.bg
• Removal.ai

---

Here's how to use Remove.bg:

• Visit the website https://www.remove.bg/ or download the Mobile Application on the Google Play Store.

---

• Upload the photo that you want to remove background screen.
  

---

• Then after the photo is successfully uploaded, Remove.bg will remove the background screen from the photo. Wait a moment then the back screen of the photo we uploaded earlier has been successful.
  

---

• To make changes to the previous image Click on the Edit menu.
  

---

• After the editing process is complete Click the Download button to download the edited image via Remove.bg
  

---

Very easy isn't it?

We don't need to use complicated editing software to remove the background screen on the image, just use Remove.bg to remove the background easily and quickly.

(2). After clicking the image size menu, a screen for setting the image size will appear and there are several options to choose from.

---

(3). In the Image size menu, there are several options that we can set for the canvas size that we will use to edit images such as Custom, Square, Youtube channel Banner, Youtube Thumbnail, Facebook cover art, Google plus cover photo, and Twitter header size. Here I choose a Custom size of 1:1 or 1280x1280 Pixels.

2. Click on the Background menu located at the bottom of the menu row number 4.

Steps to create a banner using the PixelLab application.

---

---

(2). Then, i choose a color for the screen behind the image, I used a gradient color from blue. Then I added the Text "Thank You".

---

(3). I added a picture and a circle object as decoration to make the banner look better.

---

(4). I changed the font of the "Thank You" Text to a font called Alex Brush Regular.

---

(5). I added a text that said "Graphic Designer Headmaster" and used the "Arm Wrestler" font.

---

(6). I set the text layout to fit the image and set the other objects to fit.

---

(7). I made a Thank you text to the Headmaster of the graphic design class, then I added a background behind the text using Yellow/Gold color.

---

(8). I added a Noise effect to the background image so that it matches the image and objects in it.

---

---

(9). Then I entered the Steam Skillshare Community logo image which I placed at the top left of the banner. I also added the username @chairulrizalx at the bottom right of the banner.
