I am a person who does editing and digital designing. I used to use this tool, remove.bg, for getting transparent PNGs from either stock images or my own images.

Recently, remove.bg announced that they are shutting down the standalone website and moving to inside Canva only. This really made me sad. I have been using this tool for a long time now.
