There are many different ways to remove a background using Adobe Photoshop. Some techniques are more accurate than others, but in most cases, we can use Adobe Photoshop AI to help us remove a background super fast.
I often use this technique to remove the background for my YouTube thumbnails. This technique is best suited for images that have a clear contrast between the foreground and the background content.

Removing backgrounds in Adobe Photoshop FAQs
What version of Photoshop is best?
In the tutorial video above I used Photoshop 2021. In the latest version of Photoshop, you will have access to better selection tools that also use Adobe AI.
Does this technique work with any image?
In this tutorial, I have specifically chosen images that have a high contrast between the foreground and the background. If your image is more complex then you can use a layer mask or the pen tools to create a more accurate selection. The advantage of this method is the selection is automated.
Should I compress the image before removing the background?
I would advise that you use the high-resolution image as possible, Photoshop will be able to create a more accurate selection when the image used is high resolution.
