12 Days of Techmas
Day 11
Background Removal Tools
On the eleventh day of Techmas, Ms. D shared ways to remove backgrounds from images and videos!
This is one of those questions that I get all the time. "How do I remove the background from this image?" There are so many times that we may need to remove the background from an image we took or a video so we can add it to a presentation.
Want to take your image and make it a custom sticker for a presentation? These tools can allow you to do that! Want to create a video but instead of being in your classroom, you are presenting from the top of a mountain, at the beach, or even in the body system you are studying. Students and Teachers can use these for all kinds of projects.

Adobe Express has a background remover tool in its free version. Once you remove the background you can download or edit the image.
I really like this one because you can easily add a new background, turn it into a flyer, etc.
Removes backgrounds from images and videos
Canva has the option in their "edit image" tools for a Background remover. This works on images and video! It is quick and easy and means you can quickly edit your image to use in any of their many templates!
Removes backgrounds from videos
Unscreen allows you to have a green screen effect without the green screen. Remove the background of videos so you can add them to whatever background you would like. Think the way a Zoom Background works. This is a free website.
Create custom stickers for projects and presentations (think how bitmojis work, but with a real picture)
Create fun logos
Putting students into the events, locations, and topics they are studying
Student projects - gives students more creative options
Create a weather forecast video for a foreign country
Plant identification video with the plants showing up in the background
Story retelling videos - students can choose new backgrounds for their story
Promotional videos for upcoming events
Add images to projects, presentations, and more.
The SKY is the LIMIT!!! There are so many options
